News Roundup

  • About 50 new species described in PNG. (Photos).
  • From all reports, Madagascar’s environment is seriously falling victim to the political upheaval. Now, groups doing conservation work in the region have offered an SOS. Frankly, it seems kind of tone deaf to me.
  • Try to think of a company that uses an animal as its logo. They might want to consider making sure that animal doesn’t go extinct, yeah? Save your logo!
  • Nice story on harbor seals returning to New York harbor.
  • Somebody’s suggesting Australia release killer ants to reduce the cane toad problem. I’m sure that will end well.
  • Despite some stupid political maneuvering, the Wilderness Lands bill was finally signed yesterday.
