The findings could help improve the accuracy of reporting CO2 emissions reductions under the proposed REDD program, which aims to compensate tropical countries for cutting deforestation, forest degradation, and peatlands destruction.]]> http://www.wind-power-solutions.com/rainforests-store-229-billion-tons-of-carbon-globally-finds-new-wall-to-wall-carbon-map/feed/ 0 http://news.mongabay.com/2012/0123-hance_pangolins_alibaba.html http://news.mongabay.com/2012/0123-hance_pangolins_alibaba.html#comments Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:07:00 +0000 Jeremy Hance http://www.wind-power-solutions.com/?guid=7297967153ef1148a11d94f5cd33c0e8 http://www.wind-power-solutions.com/pangolins-imperiled-by-internet-trade-are-companies-responding-quickly-enough/feed/ 0 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EnvironmentalNewsNetwork/~3/GXBnB5bLR38/43812 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EnvironmentalNewsNetwork/~3/GXBnB5bLR38/43812#comments Fri, 06 Jan 2012 13:59:00 +0000 Yinnon Shraga, NoCamels http://www.enn.com/sci-tech/article/43812 ]]> http://www.wind-power-solutions.com/china-partners-with-better-place-on-electric-vehicle-center/feed/ 0 http://feeds.nytimes.com/click.phdo?i=b9cb0058d1ed5e2d21cbcbc136986a2f http://feeds.nytimes.com/click.phdo?i=b9cb0058d1ed5e2d21cbcbc136986a2f#comments Mon, 02 Jan 2012 19:29:09 +0000 By ANDREW C.

They are doing so using an advanced system that enables them to map the three-dimensional physical structure of the forest as well as its chemical and optical properties. The scientists hope to determine not only what species may lie below but also how the ecosystem is responding to last year's drought—the worst ever recorded in the Amazon—as well as help Peru develop a better mechanism for monitoring deforestation and degradation. ]]> http://www.wind-power-solutions.com/breakthrough-technology-enables-3d-mapping-of-rainforests-tree-by-tree/feed/ 0 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EnvironmentalNewsNetwork/~3/b3zfW16syYY/43446 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EnvironmentalNewsNetwork/~3/b3zfW16syYY/43446#comments Sat, 22 Oct 2011 15:10:00 +0000 Roberta Rampton, Reuters, WASHINGTON http://www.enn.com/environmental_policy/article/43446 ]]> http://www.wind-power-solutions.com/epa-delays-pollution-rule-for-coal-plants-but-only-until-december/feed/ 0 http://news.mongabay.com/2011/1019-hance_narwhal.html http://news.mongabay.com/2011/1019-hance_narwhal.html#comments Wed, 19 Oct 2011 16:03:00 +0000 Jeremy Hance http://www.wind-power-solutions.com/?guid=c6694622161d75f7dad37f0546f5e76e A new program aims to track one of the ocean's most enigmatic creatures: the narwhal (Monodon monoceros). Tagging nine narwhales in August, researchers plan to track the species in order to gain new insights about how the little-known toothed whale will withstand a rapidly melting Arctic due to climate change. "[This] is a chance to better understand these animals while their world changes around them. We know narwhals are often associated with sea ice, and we know the sea ice is shrinking. WWF is trying to understand how narwhals, as well as all other ice associated animals in the arctic can adapt to a changing environment," says Peter Ewins with WWF-Canada.]]> http://www.wind-power-solutions.com/photos-satellite-tracking-of-the-unicorn-of-the-sea/feed/ 0 http://news.mongabay.com/2011/1013-hance_cameratrap-cryptid.html http://news.mongabay.com/2011/1013-hance_cameratrap-cryptid.html#comments Thu, 13 Oct 2011 20:18:00 +0000 Jeremy Hance http://www.wind-power-solutions.com/?guid=243b8fc37635c97f5fc976dc8e79e331 Let me state for the record that I am skeptical of the existence of Bigfoot or the Yeti, however I do have a fascination for following the latest news on the seemingly never-ending search for these hidden hominids. This week a Yeti conference in Russia announced 'indisputable proof' of the legendary hairy ape in the wilds of Southern Siberia. What did this proof consist of? Not DNA, photographs, video, or the Yeti itself (dead or alive) as one would expect from the word 'indisputable', but a few alleged Yeti hairs, an alleged bed, and alleged footprints. Cryptozoologists, those who are fascinated by hidden species such as the proposed Yeti and Bigfoot, don't serve their cause by stating the reality of a species without the evidence long-deemed necessary by scientific community to prove it—either a body or DNA samples combined with clear photographic evidence—instead they make themselves easy targets of scorn and ridicule.]]> http://www.wind-power-solutions.com/if-camera-traps-dont-prove-existence-of-bigfoot-or-yeti-nothing-will/feed/ 0 http://feeds.nytimes.com/click.phdo?i=874123443f02b84175bdc7b8322e60c8 http://feeds.nytimes.com/click.phdo?i=874123443f02b84175bdc7b8322e60c8#comments Thu, 06 Oct 2011 02:45:18 +0000 By ANDREW C.
