Environmentalists concerned about global warming have long encouraged preservation of forests because they absorb carbon dioxide, the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Although tropical forests reduce global warming by absorbing carbon, forests in snowy latitudes may increase local warming by absorbing solar energy, according to new research in the online edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. However, it suggests that in snowy latitudes, forests may...

Anything we can do to provide wildlife habitat will be used. Tips on planning your wildlife habitat. When we built the lake, I wanted to remove all the standing timber that would be flooded, but I was encouraged to leave them for the wildlife.

Scientists presented the latest research on the effects of human influence on the environment and wildlife, and conservation officials discussed ways in which those findings could be incorporated into wildlife management practices to be more effective. Habitat degradation has also continued to be a problem over the last decades and is limiting the available areas where life forms that cannot adapt can move to. Sadly, the research presented at the summit shows many of the problems described...

Alabama can use the money to manage wildlife populations, to do habitat research and to improve habitat. If you are a bird watcher, you have likely seen bird populations made better by wildlife habitat management. Alabama can use the money for different activities: stocking fish, improving fish habitat, teaching resource education, fisheries research and the construction of boat ramps, fishing piers and other facilities for recreational boating. If you do not hunt or fish, the idea that...
