Study: Amazon Forest More Resilient to Climate Change Than Feared
Feb 6th 2013, 18:21

The Amazon rainforest is less vulnerable to die off because of global warming than widely believed because the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide also acts as an airborne fertilizer, a study showed on Wednesday. The boost to growth from CO2, the main gas from burning fossil fuels blamed for causing climate change, was likely to exceed damaging effects of rising temperatures this century such as drought, it said. "I am no longer so worried about a catastrophic die-back due to CO2-induced ...

Poachers Devastate Gabon Elephant Population
Feb 6th 2013, 18:21

Researchers say poachers may have killed as many as two-thirds of the elephants in Gabon's Minkebe National Park in the past eight years. Results of an ongoing survey released by the government Wednesday show a loss of 11,000 elephants in the park since a similar survey was conducted in 2004. In an interview with VOA, Fiona Maisels of the U.S.-based Wildlife Conservation Society said increased access to the park has spurred an increase in poaching. "With forestry concessions ...

New England Fishermen Face Crippling Cuts
Feb 6th 2013, 17:37

After nearly four decades of fishing, this season might be David Goethel's last. The New England Fisheries Management Council has cut the amount of cod fishermen like Goethel can catch in the Gulf of Maine by 77 percent. Painful cuts "For us, it basically means we're all done," Goethel says. Under the new limits, he says he'd reach his quota of cod in just a few days of fishing.  And other fish are effectively off limits, or out of reach, for his kind of boat and ...

In another push to stem corruption, China banned radio and TV ads promoting gift giving, according to a story published Wednesday in the China Daily. Citing a circular issued by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT), the report said advertising luxury goods, such as expensive watches and gold coins, "publicized incorrect values and helped create a bad social ethos."

Feb 6th 2013, 17:17

A 17-year-old South African girl has died of injuries received in a gang rape over the weekend, provoking rare cries of outrage on Wednesday in a country with a high level of sexual violence. In an echo of the gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old student on a New Delhi bus in December, the Cape Town-based Cape Argus newspaper said the victim was sliced open from her stomach to her genitals. She was dumped on a building site in the town of Bredasdorp, 130 km east of Cape Town. The Indian ...

The planned sale of Urenco poses a quandary for the three European governments who own it. They want a good price for the world's second-largest nuclear fuel vendor, yet are suspicious of every buyer's motives. Germany, Britain and the Netherlands, which set up Urenco more than 40 years ago, have a duty to ensure secret technology that could be used to make an atomic bomb does not fall into the wrong hands.

Lebanon's Shi'ite militant Hezbollah group has dismissed Bulgaria's claim that is was behind last year's bomb attack that killed five Israeli tourists.
