Pine martens reintroduced to Forest of Dean
The Canary | thecanary.co | 2019-10-01
One of Britain's rarest animals has been reintroduced in the Forest of Dean.Eighteen pine martens have been released into the Gloucestershire countryside, in an attempt to help the population recover in England, in a project by Forestry England and the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust.Hunting and destruction of woodland had pushed the creature to near extinction in England, with their only remaining stronghold being in the north-west Highlands of Scotland.Between August and September, 18 of the animals were moved from Scotland to Gloucestershire and fitted with tracking collars so that they can be closely monitored…

"How Dare You!" The Climate Crisis and the Public Demand for Real Action

Sackur's inability to grasp that we are already in …

Democrats say they will ban fracking nationwide. An empty campaign promise or are they serious?
rt.com | 2019-09-30
Several contenders for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination have promised a nationwide ban on fracking. How viable is that proposal and do they really want to do it — or is it just a campaign promise they can never fulfil? | Banning 'fracking' — the process of extracting oil and natural gas via hydraulic fracturing — is popular among environmentalists and activists who are increasingly concerned about climate change. Among the candidates who have backed a ban are the current frontrunner Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts), as well as her colleagues Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and K…

Why women's climate leadership is vital
Sarah Myhre | nationofchange.org | 2019-09-30
On the back of a horse outside of Yellowstone National Park in August, I cracked a joke with a friend next to me: "I'm gonna let you finish about your Ph.D. and book tour there," I ribbed her. "But you'll need to make space for the voices that really matter here. You know, the voices of apolitical, middling, literary White men with big feelings." | With grim laughter, rolled eyes, and more than a few expletives, we commiserated on the miserable lens that so many male writers and editorial gatekeepers use to frame climate change in the public eye. Examples of this problematic, patriarchal frame in climate story…
