The other day, sitting on the deck of my home outside of Tallahassee, Florida, I got to thinking about photosynthesis. No, I was not thinking about my son’s obsession with video games, or the ugly news of the day. The wind was blowing, and the leaves on the trees in the green zone behind my [...]

Lionfish, a Pacific Ocean species, are invading the Atlantic Ocean with serious consequences for native reef species. As an invasive species, lionfish have no known natural predators, and feed heavily on native reef species. Furthermore, genetic studies show that possibly all lionfish come from fewer than ten individuals.
Burmese pythons have become a similar [...]

There is no better way to appreciate the usual gifts and beauty that a country or region may have. Florida is known to have a lot of these and it is always breathtaking to note how images alone can provide that sense of comfort and valued living we see in places rich in natural resources and environmental treasures.
There are book that contain such treasures of wonderful regions. Priceless Florida is one good example. People do not have to be necessarily there to appreciate the modern beauty. Green and native species all around it make the area of Florida an envious view of today.

Save the Ribble Campaign are local Ribbleside residents who are spearheading the opposition to the Riverworks Ribble barrage, and the proposal to build thousands of new houses and businesses on Ribbleside Green Belt and operational floodplain in Penwortham. Here we will look at:- why the Ribble is so important; - what effects these proposals will have on its environmental integrity; - the economic impact; and take a detailed look at - the example set by the Cardiff Bay Barrage.We will also address the global significance of the Ribble Wetland in terms of issues of Sustainable Development through a link to one of our sister blogs, The Ribble Cycle Diaries, and thus why the Ribble Coast & Wetlands Regional Park rather than a Ribble barrage and Green Belt development is the only viable option for the future.WHY THE RIBBLE IS SO IMPORTANT:The Ribble Estuary is legally protected under UK, EU, and International law, due to its environmental significance to wildlife on an International scale.
In various regions across the world, some high-altitude and high-latitude ecosystems have already been affected by changes in climate. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2001) appraised relevant published studies of GlobalWarming Awareness2007. Of a total of 59 plants, 47 invertebrates, 29 amphibians and reptiles, 388 birds, and 10 mammal species, approximately 80 percent showed changes in the biological parameters measured (e.g., start and end of breeding season, shifts in migration patterns, shifts in animal and plant distributions to higher elevations and towards the poles, and changes in body size and population numbers) consistent with GlobalWarming Awareness2007 predictions, while 20 percent showed changes in the opposite direction.
Climate is an integral part of ecosystems and organisms have adapted to their regional climate over time. GlobalWarming Awareness2007 and climate change is a factor that has the potential to alter ecosystems and the many resources and services they provide to each other and to society. Human societies depend on ecosystems for the natural, cultural, spiritual, recreational and aesthetic resources they provide.
