New Scientist: From dragonflies to bears, when it comes to lost species we ain't seen nothing yet. Biologists are getting rattled about growing evidence of "extinction debt" - the idea that there is a delay of decades or even centuries between humans damaging ecosystems and the demise of species that live there.

Mongabay: The population of Philippine cockatoos on Rasa Island is booming. With the help of conservationists the population has gone from 25 individuals in 1998 to 250 today, representing a quarter of the world's total population (approximately 1,000 birds). More importantly, it is the only population that appears to be thriving. But conservationists say a 15-megawatt coal power plant by DMCI Power Corporation could change all this.

U.S. proposes to list wolverine under Endangered Species Act
2013-02-05 23:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: Arguably one of the toughest animals on Earth, the wolverine (Gulo gulo) may soon find itself protected under the U.S.'s Endangered Species Act (ESA) as climate change melts away its preferred habitat. Last week, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) announced it was proposing to place the world's largest terrestrial mustelid on the list. Only 250-300 wolverines are believed to survive in the contiguous U.S. "Scientific evidence suggests that a warming climate will greatly reduce the wolverines...
