Almost 70,000 eggs will be carefully dug up and relocated to beaches on Florida’s Atlantic Coast. The turtles most at risk include loggerheads, Kemp’s ridley, green, and leatherback sea turtles. Many scientists agree that if the eggs are not moved, a generation of turtles could die. Fish and Wildlife spokeswoman, Bonnie Strawser said, “We believe any hatchlings that would crawl into the Gulf Coast at this point, would not survive.” For more on this story go to: http://abcnews.go.com/WN/volunteers-rush-move-turtle-eggs-gulf-atlantic/story?id=11053787

Norway will provide up to $1 billion to Indonesia to help reduce deforestation and forest degradation, reports The Jakarta Post.

Senate Gets a Climate and Energy Bill, Modified by a Gulf Spill That Still Grows

admin — Sun, 23 May 2010 18:32:42 +0000

The bill’s overall goal is to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by 17 percent (compared with 2005 levels) by 2020, and by 83 percent by 2050. The targets match those in a House bill passed last year and in the Obama administrations announced policy goal. The sponsors rewrote the section on offshore oil drilling in recent days to reflect mounting concern over the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, raising new hurdles for any future drilling off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts while allowing it to proceed off Louisiana, Texas and Alaska.

Jamaica-sized Oil Spill Threatens the Gulf Coast

admin — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 17:35:02 +0000

The oil from the massive spill in the Gulf of Mexico has reached the coast today, threatening fragile fisheries and wildlife along the Gulf Coast. The oil spill, which is oozing 200,000 gallons per day, is the aftermath of the explosion of BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil rig on April 20th which then sank two days later. The explosion presumably killed 11 workers. Opponents of President Obama’s plan to expand offshore drilling have also called for a halt.
