Oceans no longer need to be only protected from massive garbage dumping as we have managed to significantly expand the list of critical ocean issues by adding the problems of overfishing and ocean acidification.Overfishing is already taking heavy toll in many of our seas and oceans but very few countries take this issue seriously. Overfishing can cause big biodiversity loss in our oceans and with

Biodiversity of plants is one of the key factors that could protect our planet against the negative climate change effects. This is the result of multi-author study published in the latest edition of the Science Journal.The authors of this study have confirmed well known ecological theory that the more diverse an ecosystem is, the more ecological functions it can perform and with it improve and

Elephants are still being mercilessly hunted and killed because of their tusks. The recent proof for this comes from Malaysia where customs officials have seized elephant tusks worth more than $750,000. These tusks originate from South Africa.2011 was a really bad year for African elephants with around 23 tonnes of ivory seized, which in rough numbers equates to 2,500 dead elephants. This refers

World hasn't done anything significant for our environment in 2011, and by the current looks of it this year will likely be very similar to the overall disappointment in 2011. Some people were hoping that 2011 will bring world leaders together towards agreeing a new climate deal but sadly that hasn't happen, and climate change is yet again threatening to run out of control.Climate change still

Our seas are together with our rainforests, the areas of largest biodiversity in our planet. In order to protect biodiversity in our seas world needs to establish more marine protected areas.The world's largest international marine conservation Oceana is constantly warning the world leaders about the urgent need for more marine protected areas.

The world is experiencing huge biodiversity loss with many species being brought at the very brink of extinction. Many scientists have already issued warnings about our planet entering yet another mass extinction event, this time caused by human race and best characterized by climate change issue.The number of endangered species is constantly growing so it is really no surprise that Endangered

Despite the recent controversies caused by the 2010 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report in which the UN climate body incorrectly claims that mountain region's glaciers could melt away by 2035 many world glaciers are still retreating rapidly such as Himalayan glacier and French Alpine glaciers.Dr Rajendra Pachauri, IPCC chairman said that there is absolutely no doubt that

Yet another climate talks, this time in Durban, will yet again end in a major disappointment as world leaders are still far away from agreeing on new climate deal which means that carbon emissions will likely continue to grow in years to come.Scientists have so far issued countless warnings about the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions on global level in order to limit the increase in global

It has been estimated that the world's remaining forests are disappearing at an annual rate of more than 32 million acres.The world's largest rainforest – the Amazon rainforests is in great danger because of the ever-increasing production of soybean and biofuel crops in Brazil which accounts for higher deforestation rates.According to researchers from the Stony Brook University cocaine production

Rhinos are among the most endangered species in the world. Their population number continues to shrink because they are being mercilessly hunted and killed by poachers for their horns which achieve very high prices in Asian black market.According to a recent report coming from South Africa 341 rhinos have been killed in 2011 so far, already overtaking last year's total of 333.South Africa has the

The main goal of conservation biology is a protection of animal and plant species in given ecosystem from excessive extinction. The role of conservation biology is becoming increasingly important due to huge biodiversity loss worldwide as a result of various environmental issues, most notably climate change.Climate change is making things extremely difficult for conservation biologists because it

Climate change is already having a major impact on Antarctica. Many of Antarctica’s largest glaciers such as Pine Island Glacier, Thwaites glacier and Getz Ice Shelf are retreating rapidly which will in years to come lead to a significant global sea level rise. Ninety-eight percent of Antarctica is covered in ice but West Antarctica is rapidly losing its ice cover.Climate change is also opening

Water is the most important resource on our planet. Since the world population rapidly grows so does the water demand, especially with the increased urbanization in developing countries.The researchers have calculated that the global water use has been growing at more than twice the rate of global population increase.It is estimated that the global water use will increase by 50% by 2025 in

Term habitat refers to a certain part of environment that is inhabited by a particular animal and/or plant species. Habitat therefore represents natural environment where certain animal and plant species live, find food and most importantly reproduce.Habitat loss is one of the major environmental issues of our time. The human population keeps growing and is interfering with animal and plant

Sustainable forest management is one of the prerequisites for our future wellbeing. Why? Because forests are areas with rich biodiversity that provide us with services and goods on which our wellbeing depends upon. Forests help regulate climate, supply health, energy and livelihood to our society.Even despite the enormous importance of our forests thousands of hectares of forest are lost each

The large palm oil plantations have already caused huge environmental destruction in Indonesia, mostly in form of massive deforestation. The same scenario could soon happen in Africa after a New York-based agricultural firm Herakles Farms announced its plan for a massive palm oil plantation (148,000 acres) in Cameroon.This big palm oil plantation should be built in one of the Africa's most

The ongoing battle between economy and ecology has been a constant sight since the start of the industrial revolution. No matter how much our modern society boosts itself as being "environmentally aware" ecology is always second best when going up against economy. The most recent example of this is oil exploration in Arctic.Arctic's ice is melting fast, opening door for not only increased ship

Marine protected areas are sea regions where human activity has been restricted in a way that does not interfere with natural environment and marine ecosystems and enables marine life to thrive without human-based distractions. Our oceans and seas cover more than 70% of Earth's surface and are the areas with the richest biodiversity in our planet. In order to protect biodiversity in our oceans

Sumatran tiger, as the name suggests, has its natural habitat in the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Sumatran tigers are critically endangered and according to the latest estimates there are currently less than 500 Sumatran tigers living in the wild. The main reason why Sumatran tigers are at the very brink of extinction is a rapid deforestation of Indonesian rainforests. Deforestation is taking

There are several different reasons which help explain the currently very poor global environmental condition. Let us start with the most important reason of them all – our reliance on fossil fuels. Since the start of the industrial revolution fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) have become foundations on which our industry, and economy in general, has been built. Truth to be told, our

The year 2010 was disastrous for Russian forests but this year looks to be even worse as more than 1m hectares of forest have already gone up in flames, or are still burning. The main trigger behind these wildfires are massive heat waves and the most affected area has been the far north of Russia. In the Arkhangelsk and the Komi republic more than 80 wildfires were reported in last week of July,

The ongoing huge biodiversity loss cannot be stopped with the current level of globally protected areas. The currently designated protected areas haven't been able to halt decline of animal and plant species.What this means is that the urgent reduction in man's ecological footprint is the only way to save many animals and plants from going extinct, at least this is what the new study published in

Globally speaking world cares very little for our environment and planet Earth in general. Money and economy still heavily outweigh environment and ecology. Why? Because our moral values have been degraded by the holy grail of western culture which best summoned in the so called "American dream" where the desire to become rich is the basic principle of life.The United States are not today only at

It is extremely hard to imagine the modern agriculture without the pesticides but nonetheless using pesticides is very bad for our environment. This is mostly because it is practically impossible to limit the area on which pesticides have effect as 98% of sprayed insecticides and 95% of herbicides reach a destination other than just targeted pests.

In the last week of the May, 2011, carbon emissions were at an all time high level by being measured at 394.97 ppm by the US government's Earth Systems Research Laboratory at Mauna Loa in Hawaii, which represents an increase of almost 1.6 ppm compared

According to scientists the Mediterranean is the world's sea most invaded by invasive species. The latest study by the University of Gothenburg reports that in the last three decades there have been 900 new alien species making way in the coastal environments of the eastern Mediterranean Sea.The invasive species are big threat to native species, they compete with native species for food and

The number of endangered animals is constantly rising and there is no magic formula that could save these species from going extinct. The best way to save endangered animals from going extinct is to identify key factors that threaten their survival. In most cases the key threats to animal survival are humans, or to be more precise the human activity.Habitat loss and climate change are usually the

Due to increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere our oceans are becoming more and more acidic. Ocean acidification, despite not being mentioned in public as much as climate change and pollution is nonetheless a huge threat for marine environment, and if the acidity in our oceans continues to grow, algae will be among creatures most affected by it.This is because coccoliths, very

China really has no other option but to go green in order to start cleaning up a huge environmental mess across the country. China is currently the world's largest greenhouse gas emitter, and despite the huge economic growth there is an increased number of Chinese, particularly those from growing middle class, who believe that there has to be some limit on growing the economy without taking into

Many amphibian species are at the brink of extinction. The decline of amphibians is happening in all corners of the world and scientists still do not fully understand the reasons behind such excessive population loss.There could be many different causes behind the decline of amphibians such as habitat loss, environmental pollution, invasive species, predation, reproduction, disease and of course

There are still many climate change skeptics in the world who believe that science is wrong about climate change. Is it really so easy to remain ignorant about the most serious environmental threat of our time? If we believe science about so many different things then why not believe in what they have to say about climate change? Why would scientists lie to us?If science is right about climate

Several recent studies have confirmed that a number of penguin species at Antarctica, especially chinstrap and Adelie penguin are declining, and the main reason for this is not enough food, which is yet again connected to climate change.The penguin's diet mostly consists of Antarctic krill, a little shrimp-like animal. Krills belong to the most abundant species on our planet (there can be

The environmental condition of our planet is not good, and by the current looks of it things are getting even worse because world still hasn't done anything meaningful that would decrease the impact of the biggest environmental threat of our time. Of course, we are talking here about the climate change. The potential climate change solution is international climate deal and massive cuts in

Antarctica is a very special continent on Earth, the one that has through many thousands of years developed unique ecosystems with species that can be found only here and nowhere else in the world. Unfortunately the current mix of different environmental problems such as climate change, pollution, invasive species and overfishing is threatening the survival of many Antarctic's ecosystems.Climate

Tigers certainly belong to a list of the most famous animals threatened with extinction. The main reasons for their rapid decline in population are habitat loss and poaching. The latest report estimate there is still around 3000 tigers living in the wild, with half of that number living in India.In the sea of bad news regarding the survival of tigers many environmentalists have started fearing

When it comes to animals vs oil exploration and drilling the winners are usually oil companies but luckily not always.

The loss of biodiversity on our planet is happening faster than even before, some scientists even claim that even the last mass extinction which happened some 65 millions years ago wasn't characterized with such rapid decline in number of species.Biodiversity loss must be stopped or otherwise our future generations will find it extremely hard to survive. Here are some possible solutions on how to

The productivity of ecosystems is one of the key things for human well being. Ecosystems provide us with the essential services such as food, water and oxygen production, and preserving our current ecosystems is really the key to our future well being.But given the ongoing huge biodiversity loss, and the fact that human population is constantly increasing we must not only find the ways to

The best way to help our environment is to develop global ecological conscience and establish a new set of values where our environment and nature in general would rank above money and power. However, in a world driven primarily by the hunger for money such ideas are nothing but a nice dream and an utopia.The environmental condition of our planet gets worse by the each day; the negative impact of

The rates of deforestation in Indonesia are still a major environmental issue because according to the latest study by the South Dakota State University forest cover loss at Kalimantan and Sumatra was 5.4 million hectares, or 9.2 percent, of their total forest cover between 2000/2001 and 2007/2008.The Indonesia's laws that protect forests from deforestation are still pretty much inadequate

In modern world animals are finding it extremely hard to survive. This is mostly because of the rapid human population growth and the fact that more people means less habitats for the animals. The fate of many animals depends on whether humanity will be able to stop huge biodiversity loss. So far, there have been very few reasons to remain optimistic about it, and it is very likely that many

Environmental issues or environmental problems are growing in numbers, and the worst of all is the fact that these issues are becoming interconnected which means that it is almost impossible to solve one environmental issue without taking into consideration one or several other environmental issues. For instance it is impossible to solve the endangered animals issue before taking climate change

Fossa is a cat-like predator endemic to Madagascar that is in great danger of becoming extinct, and the worst part is that this largest carnivore in the island of Madagascar is still not listed as endangered species.Fossa adults have a head-body length of 70–80 cm (28–31 in) and they usually weigh between 5.5–8.6 kg (12–19 lb), and like with many other cat species males are larger than the

Recent polls suggest that most people still believe that climate change is real thing. For instance according to the poll carried out by British Guardian 83% of people in Britain believe that climate change is current/imminent threat.However, just believing in climate change is obviously not enough to change things for better. So many talks about climate change on global level, and still no sign

The more endangered species the bigger the biodiversity loss, this is a pretty simple equation. The number of endangered species is sadly growing all the time, and if the current trend continues it will be impossible to stop biodiversity loss, and world will soon find itself on a one-way road towards the total disaster.The main reason why there are so many endangered species is habitat loss.

The increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are regarded by many scientists as the main reason for the ongoing climate change problem. Carbon emissions have started growing since the start of the industrial revolution, and the worst period was the end of the 20th century, after which world leaders started taking climate change issue more seriously.

Biodiversity loss is one of the biggest ecological problems world is facing today, and due to the strengthening of the climate change impact this problem is getting out of our control, in fact the scientists have calculated that due to the climate change extinction of species is thousands times higher than natural extinction.Such state of biodiversity will cause huge and irreparable damage to

If Arctic continues to warm at current rate this will lead to further decline of Arctic summer sea ice. Arctic ice melting will not only lead to global sea level rise, and less habitats for polar bears but will also open the door for increased ship traffic which will likely accelerate climate change effect. The increased Arctic ship traffic will not only mean more greenhouse gases in the

Alaska is one of the most sensitive areas in the world when it comes to climate change, and according to the latest study from the University of Alaska Fairbanks many Alaskan ecosystems will look much different by the end of this century then they look now.Some well known animals such as Alaska marmot will probably disappear while on the other hand some invasive species will spread across the

Will Cancun climate change conference, which will be held later this year, make any difference towards agreeing new climate deal? One thing is sure, the differences between countries are still big stumbling block, and if this situation doesn't change before the conference, climate change talks will once again result in one big failure.Current prognosis are grim, and many analysts expect the

The last decade has seen a sharp upswing in eco conscious behavior. This is in no small part thanks to a wide variety of feature films and documentaries that highlight the need for immediate action to save our beleaguered ecosystem. Here are five of the best earth-friendly movies of the past decade: 1. An Inconvenient Truth (2006) http://www.climatecrisis.net/ It was the slide show heard round

Climate change will likely have devastating impact on our entire environment, and forests are no exception. Today we are worried by the massive deforestation in many parts of the world, and in years to come climate change will likely be the No.1 threat to forests on our planet. Climate change will cause change is season lengths, summers will be much warmer and drier, and extreme weather events

The current condition of our environment is so critical that even the largest land animals, namely elephants, belong among the endangered animals. There are two main reasons why elephants are endangered: poaching (illegal hunting) and habitat loss. Illegal ivory trade is still very profitable business and many merciless poachers hunt and kill elephants just to make profits by selling precious

Environmental protection definition includes all available practices used to protect our environment, whether on individual, organizational or global (international) level. This basically means that each and every one of us can do something to protect our environment but of course, global actions are the ones that would help our environment the most.The general opinion is that our environment is

Climate change is the most talked about ecological issue in the last decade. Many scientists agree that climate change is inevitable, and that we are no longer able to stop global warming. The only thing we could do is to adapt, and to make sure we do not make things even worse. The future outlook doesn't look good, and scientists predict floods, droughts, rising sea levels, and extinction of

Endangered animals is term very often used these days because habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and different other ecological issues are making it hard for many animals to survive, pushing some of them at the very brink of the extinction. The most common endangered animals definition would be "animals that are for some reasons at risk of becoming extinct". In order to give more dimensions

According to the latest report from the federal Office of Science and Technology Policy the number of dead zones increased dramatically in U.S. waters over the last 50 years. Term "dead zones" refers to condition called hypoxia where in areas of estuaries and coastal waters oxygen levels drop so low that there isn't enough oxygen left to sustain life, meaning that fish and other marine life can't

Electronic waste from computers, cell phones, televisions, and different other electronic gadgets is piling up, with most of it ending up in China where it is shipped for recycling and for cottage industry that recovers reusable materials. The scientists have found that this recycling process is connected with significant health and environmental hazards as there are numerous toxic elements in

Wildlife management is term very often used by the environmentalists all around the globe. The best way to define wildlife management would be to say that wildlife management is all about finding the balance between the needs of wildlife and the needs of people by using different scientific methods. Wildlife management is these days mostly focused on wildlife conservation, and this requires help

There have been several different reports stating that this year is the hottest year on record, and latest of these reports comes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. According to this latest data the average global temperature in period between January and July was 58.1 degrees, 1.22 degrees over the average from the 20th century, and the hottest in 130 years long recorded

Tropical forests are areas of the richest biodiversity on our planet, and they hold around half of all the plants and animal species on Earth. There are however many negative effects that threaten tropical forests such as climate change and deforestation. The latest scientific report from Carnegie Institution's Department of Global Ecology states that by 2100 only 18% to 45% of the plants and

If there's one thing that clearly shows our lack of care and love for our planet then this is no doubt climate change issue. Despite the scientific warnings that climate change impact is approaching a tipping point where changes will become irreversible (eventually leading to disaster of gigantic proportions) world is still nowhere near agreeing on new climate deal, and world leaders are still

Soil erosion is also major ecological problem that doesn't receive adequate media coverage like this is the case with climate change and air pollution. It is very difficult to find the adequate definition for soil erosion, mostly because soil erosion is studied by different scientific fields like geomorphology, ecology, agricultural engineering, hydrology, and each of these disciplines has

There are many different reports from around the globe, and they all agree that our oceans are becoming increasingly acidic. This is mostly the result of increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere due to human activity in form of excessive fossil fuels burning. Increased amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere means that more carbon dioxide gets dissolved in the water, and thus the

Ecological problems like climate change, deforestation, endangered animals, and different forms of pollution are causing great damage to our environment. Each new day means more negative reports about damage that has been done to our environment, and yet so few people take this problems seriously. Why is that? I believe this has to do with the lack of ecological conscience. In this world

The only logical solution against climate change is to curb carbon emissions on global level, and this means that world needs to cut dependence on fossil fuels, and use clean energy to satisfy its ever-growing energy needs. China, the world fastest developing economy, has recently overtook US and became the world's biggest carbon emitter, and therefore a lot will depend upon China's ability to

If we look at the latest scientific reports we can see that scientists pretty much agree that lately very little has been done to save polar bears from going extinct. Two years have passed since these majestic animals have been listed under the Endangered Species Act but this alone will mean very little to them because the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service hasn't done anything to prevent the loss of

Oceans are massively important for all life on our planet but rising greenhouse gas emission are doing great damage to them which will likely result in great damage to many marine ecosystems and breaking down the entire food chain. The worst fact is that once these changes occur they will be irreversible meaning that we could be well on the way for yet another great extinction event.Due to the

This year's winter was very cold and very snowy for much of the Europe and United States, and by the current looks of it this will not be an exception as some thought it will be but rather a rule for years to come. This is because of warmer Arctic climate that is influencing the air pressure at the North Pole and shifting wind patterns on our planet.Dr James Overland of the NOAA/Pacific Marine

Oil spill has formed huge ocean dead zones in Gulf of Mexico, and this is likely to cause huge damage to entire ocean food chain. Scientists fear the worst, in fact they believe that almost no marine life will escape the devastating effect of these gigantic dead zones.The underwater contamination will have deadly impact as clouds of crude oil and chemical dispersants seem to be growing in size.

In most cases invasive species are responsible for doing great damage to native species, even taking some of native species to the very brink of the extinction. But there are also some positive cases, where invasive species can coexist with native species, and one of these cases was discussed in a paper in "Ecology".In order to prove that not all invasive species cause harm to native species

Forests, especially rainforests are together with oceans our main allies against climate change because they absorb large quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere. Therefore, world must do everything that's necessary to stop deforestation of rainforests, especially Amazon rainforest because if we lose our rainforests climate change impact will be much stronger, and temperatures will rise much

Gulf Coast oil spill is one of the worst oil spills in the history that will likely have devastating effect on many marine organisms. Particularly vulnerable could be sea turtles, various bird species including brown pelicans, oysters, and several other marine organisms.

Honeybees are continuing their rapid decline in population for a fourth year in the row in the United States. More than a third of honeybee colonies have failed to survive this winter, and this could have extremely negative impact on crops. If the current estimates are correct, and third of everything we eat depends upon honeybee pollination, then this mean that bees contribute some £26bn to the
