He's pushing to expand many of Africa's wildlife parks and to create corridors that will allow animals to move when water sources dry up or prey vanishes. He eventually embraced the family profession, going on to make significant discoveries about humankind's earliest ancestors. If their habitat is transformed, the creatures will have no place to go. WildlifeDirect (www.wildlifedirect.org) allows individuals to donate money directly to parks and programs. Some adapt, but many others become...

Mafabi points out that the destruction of Nakivubo swamp by the developers and yam cultivators has compromised the ability of the swamp to filter the waste. Experts say the weed encourages the growth of bacteria, which use up the oxygen in the water. The bacteria decompose the algae and dissolve the oxygen in the water, killing the fish. Industries and people living at the shores discharge waste into the lake, polluting the water. Political leaders, local governments, municipal councils,...

State environmental officials say better forecasting and more public alerts are two of the changes people will likely see during this summer's ozone season, which is a concern in the region around Baton Rouge. Ozone forms when other air pollution nitrogen oxides from the burning of fossil fuel and volatile organic compounds from industrial sources mix during hot and sunny days.

An endangered songbird that hunts like a hawk, the loggerhead shrike is quickly becoming the symbol of OLA's resistance against legislated habitat protection. Not at all dissuaded by the strong reaction, MacLaren said three river-front lots encompassing about five acres which belong to his brother have been cleared of potential shrike habitat by the Carleton Landowners.

Known as Terabithia, the projects failed every time because of neglect and vandalism during the summer months when no one was around, says fifth-grade teacher Kathy Flatter. Monroe Central pays two teachers $250 each over the summer to help maintain that school's...

So far this year, nearly 60 municipal sewage-treatment facilities have discharged raw or partially treated sewage directly into Iowa's rivers and streams. Cedar Falls discharged 500 gallons of sewage per minute for several days into the Cedar River when heavy rains overwhelmed its treatment facility the week of April 23. Where was the outrage by the press, the environmentalists or Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement? Did the anti-livestock activists schedule news conferences calling...

The greening of America's banks is just the latest development in a worldwide push toward "sustainability" -- the idea of balancing human and environmental needs. In the past three to five years, more than half of the nation's top 10 financial institutions -- including many with a Delaware presence -- have launched some type of environmental initiative. Banks are trying to bridge that perception gap, stepping up marketing efforts and doing what they can to make their environmental...
