An artist’s conception of the green new Transbay Terminal being built in San Francisco. Image via Inhabitat . One of my favorite things to do in Turkey is go down to the main otogar (bus station), ask around for buses to interesting destinations, and hop on. The station itself is no great shakes architecturally or anything, but I love the hustle and bustle and the feeling that a whole country’s worth of options is open to me. That sense of possibility and movement draws me to trans… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo Credit: ECORD/IODP via Live Science In an instance where drilling into the Great Barrier Reef is a good thing, scientists are pulling core samples of ancient coral to unravel how sea level changes have impacted corals in the past, and perhaps help predict what can happen to them in the future as they struggle with relatively rapid shifts in their marine environments. The corals they’re studying lived about 20,000 years ago when the planet was about 9 degrees F cooler than present temperatures, and their grow… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo via Keith Slausen / US Forest Service The Sierra Nevada red fox was thought to be extinct, until three weeks ago anyway. U.S. Forest Service biologists captured photos of the fox with a camera set up on a trail, and took DNA samples of saliva pulled from a bait bag the fox bit into to experts at the University of California, Davis. And yep, we can put one extinct species back on the books, at least for now. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Webcam screenshot via National Zoo August 31st was a special day at the National Zoo — four lion cubs were born! It is the first litter to a five-year-old lioness named Shera. But you don’t have to be a visitor at the zoo to check out the tiny newborns. (In fact, even visitors won’t see the cubs until late Fall when they’re old enough to head out into the yards.) The National Zoo has launched a webcam allowing you to look in on the lioness and her cubs. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

(all photos NewMerino) For well over 100 years Australia’s prosperity was inextricably lined to the export of wool, and in particular, Merino wool. We even had phrase for it: “Riding on the Sheep’s Back.” But in the ’60s wool’s economic dominance was displaced by the likes of coal and iron ore. Years of drought have also taken their toll. But possible one of the more obvious hurdles to growth of the Australian wool industry has been the high-profile anti-mulesing campaign by US-based group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Succumbing to such marketing pressure the industry … Read the full story on TreeHugger

You can see the effects of global warming in a new high-resolution map that shows carbon locked up in tropical forest vegetation and emitted by land-use practices in Peru’s Amazon. The maps were created with satellite mapping, airborne-laser technology, and ground-based plot surveys. And the images may help pave the way for a new United Nations monitoring system to curb deforestation and forest degradation…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

image via Gasland I lived in Wyoming for 8 years and it breaks my heart that the state’s landscape is being so significantly altered by the oil, coal and gas industry. I never visited the town of Pavillion when I was in Wyoming, and now I don’t have much of a desire to go there after federal officials told locals to avoid drinking their tap water and to make sure they have ventilation when showering. Pavillion is located close to several natural gas drilling sites. … Read the full story on TreeHugger
