      <description><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.earthprotect.com/hwdvideos/thumbs/tp-2356.jpg" style="float:right;padding:10px;" width="120" height="90" />&#160;The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is considering a proposal to take the gray wolf off the Endangered Species List in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. 
Wolves would still be protected in Michigan once they come off the federal list. They are currently classified as a non-game, protected species in Michigan. They would continue to be so once the federal designation is lifted. Federal endangered classification supersedes the state designation which is more lenient. 
Michigan gray wolves were downlisted from threatened to non-game protected by state officials in 2009 after the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service first delisted the Great Lakes gray wolf population - a decision that was later overturned in the courts. 
Michigan State University (MSU) associate professor in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife and Lyman Briggs College talks about the ethics behind such a decision and what it means for the interaction between humans and wolves.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.earthprotect.com/hwdvideos/thumbs/tp-2330.jpg" style="float:right;padding:10px;" width="120" height="90" />&#160;Een klein geel badeendje wordt tijdens een stormachtige nacht met 10 duizenden soortgenoten overboord geslagen. Het badeendje gaat zijn avontuur tegemoet. Maar dit blijkt al snel een grote nachtmerrie te zijn. Tijdens deze road trip wordt hij ontvoerd door een grote vis, opgegeten door een stormvogel en zit het arme beestje voor jaren vastgevroren in het noordpool ijs. Tot hij uiteindelijk in de Trash Vortex beland en zijn soortgenoten weer terug ziet, maar of hierbij de nachtmerrie voorbij is...

Aan de hand van een road trip, van het plastic badeendje, over de stille oceaan wordt het fenomeen Trash vortex, of ook wel plastic soep genoemd, aan het licht gebracht. De kijker wordt er bewust van gemaakt wat plastic afval allemaal kan doen, en waar het terecht kan komen. 


' A short animation about the plastic pollution in the great pacific. You will follow a tiny rubber duck on his journey through the rough ocean full of plastic pieces. You will see what horrible things can happen with plastic pollution. Finally this yellow fellow will end up in the 'trash vortex'. 

I made this animation to make people aware about this subject, and hopefully it makes people think.'

Animation by: Mette Menting
Music: - Production: Green Couch

http://bitly.com/PEeer  Toxic Garbage Dump - VBS.TV
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLrVCI4N67M - Good Morning America
Currently, scientists believe the world's largest garbage dump isn't on land...it's in the Pacific Ocean. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch stretches from the coast of California to Japan, and it's estimated to be twice the size of Texas. Years of bottles, bags, toys, packaging and plastic trash from all corners of the Earth are swirling in a plastic whirlpool in the North Pacific. Discarded water bottles from Iowa, takeout containers from New York City, flip-flops from California and plastic debris from the world over make their way from land into storm drains, streams, rivers and other waterways. They are carried out sea, where they get trapped in swirling ocean currents - forming a giant, floating trash dump of an enormous proportion - no matter how you quantify it.

It saddens me to have watched these videos and to find out "WE" have known about this for TEN YEARS and seem to be doing nothing!  This Plastic Garbage Dump that is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean collecting all the plastic debris and litter from the world is getting bigger every year. It's now so big that it seems that it's too much for us to clean up, and scientists say that the ocean is cleansing itself little by little, evidenced by the plastics on our beaches, but if we continue to litter and not recycle our plastics it will only get worse.

If watching these videos doesn't motivate you to NOT litter or dump any more plastic, stop buying bottled water, and throw the plastic CAPS away (since nobody recycles them), and NEVER throw another piece of plastic bag, bottle, ball, toothbrush, cup, toy, or anything plastic carelessly away again, then you don't deserve to be an inhabitant of this planet, period! Harsh, I know, but think of the rest of us sharing this planet with you. If all the creatures in the ocean die, so do we, get it?
Changing our behavior is our only hope!

Bleached corals are essentially sick corals and although they can recover, if temperatures are too warm for too long, the corals will die. Coral bleaching and in some cases death, is an impact of climate change.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.earthprotect.com/hwdvideos/thumbs/tp-2320.jpg" style="float:right;padding:10px;" width="120" height="90" />&#160;GREAT BARRIER REEF
The Great Barrier Reef has amongst the largest concentration of biodiversity on Earth with 1500 species of fish, 360 species of hard coral, 4000 mollusc species, 400 species sponge, nesting ground for endangered species like green and loggerhead turtles and breeding ground for humpback whales.

The Great Barrier Reef is worth over $5.8 billion annually; 2 million visitations per year and generates about 63,000 jobs, most in the tourism industry. It is World Heritage listed: one of the 7 natural Wonders of the World.

CORAL BLEACHING
There are over 400 species of corals on the Great Barrier Reef. Together they provide the foundations of the greater structure of the Reef. Living within these corals are microscopic organisms called zooxanthellae that nourish the coral host through photosynthesis and give reef building corals both life and colour. They are the life-blood of a healthy coral reef.

However, corals and their zooxanthellae live in delicate balance with their environment. Even the smallest changes in water chemistry can cause the zooxanthellae to be expelled from the coral, leaving the coral skeletons looking white or bleached (coral bleaching). Unless conditions return to normal, usually within 4-6 weeks, the coral will die.

The important link between increasing sea temperatures and coral bleaching has been known for more than a decade. However, scientific research has recently identified that increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from rising emissions are exacerbating coral bleaching. The absorption of carbon dioxide into the ocean is a natural process but excessive amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are pushing ocean acidity levels well beyond normal. Unfortunately, even the smallest change in the acidity of the water is enough to stress corals, causing them to expel the zooxanthellae.
Coral bleaching events have been increasing in frequency over the last 20 years and are predicted to become still more frequent as water temperatures and carbon dioxide levels continue to rise.

In summary, if we do nothing to stop climate change:

- by 2020: major coral bleaching affecting 60% of the reef will occur every 2 years
- by 2050: 97% bleached every year
- by 2080: catastrophic mortality of corals annually 

OCEAN ACIDIFICATION
Carbon dioxide has been emitted into the atmosphere at ever increasing levels since the Industrial Revolution. The ocean absorbs about one-quarter of the carbon dioxide added to the atmosphere by human activities. The absorption of carbon dioxide by the ocean triggers a series of chemical reactions which produces carbonic acid, making the oceans more acidic (lower pH) and a decreasing the concentration of carbonate in the water.

Carbonate is vital to the building of coral reefs. Without carbonate, corals are not able to build the skeletal structure that provides the foundation for coral reefs and ultimately the reef structure erodes away. If current trends in carbon dioxide emissions continue, the ocean will continue to acidify, to an extent and at rates that have not occurred for tens of millions of years. This will lead to major changes in the marine environment and compromise the long-term viability of coral reef ecosystems and the associated benefits they provide.

ZooX AMBASSADOR PROGRAM
The ZooX Ambassadors Program provides an opportunity for investors in Great Barrier Reef research to identify and develop in-house sustainability champions (ambassadors). In the three years of the program's operation, 76 ambassadors from 6 companies have participated.

Once selected, ambassadors attend an intensive 3-day field-based program at the University of Queensland's Heron Island Research Station. To link their learning back to the workplace, ambassadors are equipped to take the climate change challenge back into the business by developing measurable and practical sustainability projects for implementation on their return.

MICRO-VIDEO
Ambassadors are tasked with creating a micro-video showing their experiences while on Heron Island. This micro-video created by one of the ambassadors uses still photography, black and white silhouettes, powerful messages and music by John Butler Trio (losing you).
Quote from the ambassador:

"This was truly a wonderful, yet worrisome experience. It really hit home how fortunate we are to have the Great Barrier Reef and that we all should do what is necessary to protect it. This is a timely reminder of what we could lose if we let climate change get out of control."

A Comprehensive Classroom Resource Including
Video Modules, Teacher's Guide, Student Templates and Resources

Climate change is pushing the world's coral reefs to the edge of extinction. The growing damage is an early warning of the danger climate change poses to the world's oceans and other ecosystems. These rich, sensitive ecosystems are vital to the survival of one-quarter of all sea life and the economies of many countries. 

This DVD classroom resource is the ideal tool for teaching about the science of climate change, its impact on our oceans, and how coral reef ecosystems work. With its video modules and guide, Climate Change and Coral Reefs is designed to optimize student learning and engagement.  It encourages student discussion, research and presentations to learn more about the issues involved and discover possible solutions to this serious environmental challenge. 

The video modules and guide are aligned with national science standards -- scientific understanding, science as inquiry and science as a human endeavor.

 The DVD includes:

- Four 8-minute video modules hosted by Dr. Kiki Sanford.  
The modules feature Dr. Sanford and excerpts from a presentation by Prof. Ove Hoegh-Guldberg:
(1) Introduction to Climate Change and Coral Reefs

It summarizes the previous episodes (yet to be released), and focusses on the ocean — the hydrosphere. 

In Part 2, we take a look at coral reefs as a case study, and see what these mean for the climate and the future.

Part 1 of this episode can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7leCVDPB4vM

Glacial melting, such as what we are seeing in many parts of the globe today, also affects the life in the ocean (biosphere in the hydrosphere). For example, we will consider corals as a case study for this. Corals are animals, and not plants. They're essentially a limestone structure filled with thousands of small animals that live off plankton (small microscopic organisms drifting in water). They are very sensitive to temperature changes...

Climate change has received publicity for decades already. We have known for a long time, but there has not been a reasonable response by governments, corporations and individuals. There is no scientific contest to whether or not the recent global warming is 'real' and human-induced. It is a scientific fact...
