WWF and The Golden Compass Team Up On Climate Change
Posted on Thu Jul 3 2008
Through the partnership, visitors will be able to log on to a special web site at worldwildlife.org/goldencompass where they can view a panoramic lineup of the animal spirits or "daemons" featured in the film, many of which are the same species that WWF works to protect in the real world. Fans of the film can also show their support for WWF and its message of species protection by "adopting" a real-life animal whose species is featured in the film - including polar bears, snow leopards, and monkeys. Global Warning - Shift of habitats
Posted on Thu Jul 3 2008
![]() The impact of global warming is not just restricted to increasing levels of sea water and climate changes but also to shifting of habitats by various species of animals. Studies conducted in the mountains of Madagascar through light on this new development. Animal species that live on the lower slopes of the mountains of Madagascar’s Tsaratanana Massif, have shifted base upwards on account of increase in global temperatures. Research indicates that this is the recipe needed for extinction of these animals. The animals shifting up will be living in close proximity to each other near the summit of the mountains and the magnitude of these shifts will combine together and cause extinction of entire species of animals. The extinction of 3 species of reptiles and amphibians found in Madagascar’s mountainous regions is predicted between the periods 2050 to 2100. Global warming will be squarely responsible for such a disaster. Latent Tuberculosis Affected Due To Smoking And Air Pollution

Did you know that tobacco smoke coupled with a toxic gas which is present in air pollution is responsible for tuberculosis infection? Actually this was only recently established, so how would we know. But it sure makes us wanna think about things seriously. Threat to endemic plants of California
Posted on Tue Jul 1 2008
The effects of global warming are seen on plants that are endemic to California. Nearly 67% of these endemic plants will disappear from 80% of the land in the region by the end of the century. Endemic plants make up nearly 50% of the plants in the State of California. So the climatic changes on account of global warming are bound to have a drastic effect on the plant population and diversity in the State. Satellite lasers find giant lakes under Antarctic ice

In California, Biodiversity and Carbon Storage Make a Good Pair
Posted on Sat Jun 21 2008
Researchers at Stanford University have just published a study analyzing the relationship between biodiversity preservation and ecosystem services such as flood control, carbon storage and crop pollination on the central coast of California. Of the six ecosystem services studied, four were found to be positively correlated with biodiversity preservation, with carbon storage showing the strongest releationship. The researchers concluded that "strategically targeting only biodiversity plus the four positively associated services" could be a good strategy for conservation, resulting in biodiversity losses of only 7 percent, compared to losses of 44 percent by targeting biodiversity alone.

Amazon Under Increased Risk
Posted on Sat May 17 2008
The Amazon is at a risk of facing a drought. This is largely due to the the reduced emissions from burning coal, along with the increase in temperatures of the sea, in the north Atlantic. |
