Imagine what's to come. The pine beetle infestation is just one example of global warming's present danger. It also represents the unique challenges that warming will pose for land conservation managers on the front lines of the battle against it. Generations of American conservationists have fought to preserve wildlife and to keep nature pristine in the face of a growing population and pollution. To a remarkable extent, they've succeeded - almost 16% of the entire landmass of the U.S. is protected, and the Endangered Species Act has helped save countless animals from extinction. But global warming threatens...
...north and south Sudan separately, although they united the two sides just before independence. Southern frustration at the perceived northern domination of the post-colonial government in Khartoum spilled over quickly into the First Sudanese civil war, which lasted from 1955 to 1972. Whereas then the hostility focused on land and water - southern Sudan has more water than the north, on the edges of the Sahara - today that has been reinforced by oil. The ICG says 70% of Sudan's oil reserves also lie in the south. Much of the 500,000 barrels of crude exported every day from Sudan...
...lapel--which makes him an unlikely guy to devote himself to the legacy of a place that had a freak-out tent. But he does have a daughter who attended Woodstock (against his wishes). And another who missed out but persuaded him much later to buy the land where it all happened...
...hallowed ground is a tricky matter. After Gerry entered the picture, a preservation group sprang up to resist any construction in the bowl that held the stage and most of the crowd. In the end, the main structures were located at or just beyond the upper rim of that land, most of which remains open. The site is compromised, but nothing like the way it would have been if tract-housing developers had gotten hold...
...very qualities that make bugs so hard to get rid of could also make them an environmentally friendly food. "Nature is very good at making insects," says David Gracer, one of the chefs at the Richmond festival and the founder of future bug purveyor Sunrise Land Shrimp. Insects require little room and few resources to grow. For instance, it takes far less water to raise a third of a pound (150 g) of grasshoppers than the staggering 869 gal. (3,290 L) needed to produce the same amount of beef. Since bugs are cold-blooded invertebrates, more of what they...
