...enough that we have the pollution and ghost nets that kill our marine life. I wasn't aware the loss of tuna would set the ocean's ecosystem out of balance. Thanks for the list "What You Can Do." Nature can rebound if given a chance. Donna Snow Olympia, Wash...
There are two important things to know about tracking wild elephants, and it's better to learn both of them before you're actually in the jungle, tracking wild elephants. First, elephants are fast.

Second, elephants can't climb trees. This is good, because that's precisely what you're meant to do if one of them charges...
...calculating how much carbon is stored in a forest, and what emissions are actually avoided by preserving it. In September a multinational research team led by French landscape ecologist David Gaveau asserted that the Ulu Masen scheme might not significantly reduce deforestation in northern Sumatra because much of the ecosystem is upland, inaccessible and therefore unlikely to be logged anyway...
...only difference being that man has a hole in the heart that can never be filled in. I strongly believe that we have such a hole. This hole allows humans to compete for resources, to hunt wildlife, to study and advance technology and to be topmost in the ecosystem. Unfortunately, this hole also makes us demand - nonstop. If humans keep damaging the environment in attempts to fill the void without any regrets, one day we will be engulfed by it. Endangering tuna is just a tiny problem when compared to the sum of so many others. Do not regret when...
