- Canada House gives green light to biofuel bill| Canada| Reuters
  Posted by MikeS from africa.reuters.com
  Mandated ethanol requirements don't always make the best sense but Canada has officially joined the trend. The Green Party sees it as simply another handout to the biofuel industry without having any real impact on climate change. The bill still has to receive Senate approval before it can become law which in Canada, is generally a formality.

- Shark attacks have Mexico resort area in panic
  Posted by Jeff from MSNBC
  The article doesn't seem to mention overfishing of shark prey as a possibility but I suspect this is involved as well.

- Federal scientists probe decline of B.C. salmon runs
  Posted by Shemuses from CBC
  Salmon ecology is a complex puzzle: On the U.S. West Coast many salmon runs have completely collapsed, and in B.C. the situation is only slightly better. But in the North Pacific, including Alaska, Russia and Japan, many salmon runs are at or near all-time highs.

- States of Nature - How George Bush's legal war against the environment backfired
  Posted by senselessthing from The New Republic
  In the campaign against environmental protections, US conservatives first exalted states' rights and attacked the EPA and then did the opposite - the only objective was to thwart regulation, and the only question was which strategy would be most effective.

Bush set to relax rules protecting species

he Bush administration has until Friday to publish new rules in order for them to take effect before President-elect Barack Obama is sworn in. Otherwise, Obama can undo them with the stroke of a pen. A rule eliminating the mandatory, independent advice of government scientists in decisions about whether dams, highways and other projects are likely to harm species looked likely to meet the deadline, leaving the only chance for a quick reversal to Congress.

He has no shame.

You know what this is about right? Drill baby Drill. The only thing really holding them back is the endangered species act and wildlife protections. Right?

Voters in Ecuador Approve Constitution and Rights of Nature

Read more here:

"Ecuador is now the first country in the world to codify a new system of environmental protection based on rights," stated Thomas Linzey, Executive Director of the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund.

"With this vote, the people of Ecuador are leading the way for countries around the world to fundamentally change how we protect nature," added Mari Margil, Associate Director of the Legal Defense Fund.

Article 1 of the new "Rights for Nature" chapter of the Ecuador constitution reads: "Nature or Pachamama, where life is reproduced and exists, has the right to exist, persist, maintain and regenerate its vital cycles, structure, functions and its processes in evolution. Every person, people, community or nationality, will be able to demand the recognitions of rights for nature before the public bodies."
