Endangered species could be screwed by rising seas

Grist: Sea-level rise isn`t just bad news for coastal-dwelling humans. It`s also bad news for coastal-dwelling critters and plants, including one out of every six threatened and endangered species in the U.S. That`s according to a Center for Biological Diversity analysis of federal data. From the new report: Left unchecked, rising seas driven by climate change threaten 233 federally protected species in 23 coastal states. ... The most vulnerable groups are flowering plants, which represent a third...

United Kingdom: Endangered bird halts wind farm proposal

Telegraph: The judge ruled that ministers had failed to follow an EU birds directive when considering the potential threats the Viking wind farm project would pose to the whimbrel. The whimbrel, an endangered wader that nests almost exclusively on the island, breeds only in north Scotland when in the UK. Slated for 2018, the project would see the installation of 103 turbines covering 50 square miles on Shetland's main island, and is expected to power up to 175,000 homes, making it one of the biggest wind...

Keystone XL could crush endangered fox cubs in their own dens

Grist: Contrary to popular belief, environmentalists aren`t totally unconnected with reality. We realize, for instance, that we can get people up in arms about cute endangered species, but that no one cares if the Keystone XL pipeline is going to affect the American burying beetle. (Even if they are weird and bright orange and the largest beetle on the continent to collect dead birds, roll them up, and bury them next to their underground beetle nests.) The burying beetles, though, according to the State...

Genetic modification proposed to save endangered species
2013-09-26 08:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Genetic modification of animals so that they can deal with changing climate and habitats may be the only way to save some of the most endangered species from becoming extinct, according to biologists who want to start a debate on how to stem species loss. Biologist Michael Thomas said conservationists needed to debate what he and his colleagues called "facilitated adaptation', which involved rescuing populations or species by introducing gene variants that allow them to survive in changing temperatures...
