To me, nothing makes a stronger case in favor of more government regulation than the obscene practice of mountaintop removal mining . I mean, this is the stuff that inspires sci-fi films like Avatar: giant corporations literally buying up pristine habitat, and blowing it up. It would be comical if it didn’t happen every day in Appalachia. Here, Tea Party favorite and the GOP’s Senate candidate for Kentucky Rand Paul discusses h… Read the full story on TreeHugger

A portion of the infographic built by The Big Wild Just how much wilderness is left on the North American continent? It doesn’t seem like much as you drive across the US and see almost all urban or suburban developments, or farmland, mining or other ways people have snapped up all the free space. Where has it all gone and is there any left? According to The Big Wild, a conservation movement that connects people with activist opportunities for the preservation of wilderness, “Nearly one quarter of the planet’s wild forests are inside our borders; 20% of the world’s fresh wat… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Now, a new report from cleantech consultants Kachan & Co says that the potential of osmotic power is such that by 2030 it could generate enough electricity to meet 50% of Europe’s demand….

Coronella austriaca , also known as the “smooth snake,” was one of the species in the study. Image credit: Wikimedia Commons Conducting a global study of an entire sub-order of species is not a simple proposition. It requires huge amounts of data, conducted by field researches in locations around the world, that spans a decade or more. As a result, such studies are able to provide only a slight indication of trends. But sometimes, the findings are so consistent, so compelling, that they cannot be ignored….

Photo via National Geographic Earlier this week, I reported that certain oil spill experts say crude-covered birds be killed rather than cleaned , because so few actually survive. Evidently and unsurprisingly, the article sparked something of a furor amongst animal lovers, who claimed I didn’t fairly represent the views of those scientists who supported cleaning oil-coated birds. So what’s the verdict? Should we clean every oil-covered bird we can, or put them out of their mise… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo via Fast Company Fabien Cousteau, grandson of the ocean explorer Jaques Cousteau, has a mission to empower communities to “re-plant” important marine species in their local habitats. From oysters in New York Harbor, to sea turtles in El Salvador, to corals in the Maldives, the ocean advocate is hoping to spark a worldwide effort of rehabilitating our marine ecosystems. To do so, he’s started up a non-profit called Plant a Fish, and the efforts are starting at the edge of Brooklyn. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Image via CEC There are nearly 2,000 marine protected areas in North America, part of a (hopefully) growing network of coastline areas that are a somewhat safer zone for marine life. MPAs are vital to giving threatened species room to rebound and provide habitat for migrating species. Everyone knows TreeHuggers love a good map, and the North American Environmental Atlas and the Commission for Environmental Cooperation have put out a new map that shows all the protected areas from Canada to Mexico, including the protection status and the parties res… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Even coral that looks the same, new research shows, may be part of a completely different species. Image credit: Wikimedia Commons Some types of coral are abundant across reefs—turning up in a wide range of depths. Researchers have long assumed that this demonstrated versatility of the species—something that could be useful when rebuilding reefs damaged by pollution, bleaching, and other climatic events. New research, however, has shown that these corals are not homogeneous. Instead, they consist of a variety of distinct and highly-specialized species—a finding that could have seriou… Read the full story on TreeHugger
