Top 20 Countries with Most Endangered Species (INFOGRAPHIC)

The impact we can have on our environment has been made abundantly clear by the BP oil spill. We've all seen photos of oil-dipped wildlife by now. Unfortunately. And while the disaster is the perfect opportunity for legislation to halt offshore drilling, I am not convinced that is the take away here.

Top 10 Newly Discovered Species of 2009

Last April, a report from the United Nations Environment Program revealed how we are failing to protect the biodiversity of this planet. Since 1970, animal populations have dropped more than 30-percent and some areas like living coral have fallen by jaw-dropping 40-percent.

"The deadline has arrived, yet the deterioration of our natural resources continues apace," the secretary-general said in a statement.

Endangered Turtle Washes Ashore

1 comments

On the island of Cuttyhunk in Massachusetts, a rare leatherback turtle washed ashore, giving scientists and residents a glimpse of the largest turtle in the world. Word of the rare 500 pound turtle spread quick and people in the community and scientists all came to check it out. The turtle was badly decayed, and scientists weren't even able to tell for sure if it was a male or female. The turtle was tagged in the Caribbean and had most likely migrated with the jellyfish to the Eastern Seaboard. It most likely would've returned to the Caribbean where it was born.

Gray Wolf Back On The List

0 comments

After a brief stint on the "threatened list", the gray wolf has been placed back on the endangered species list. The gray wolf of the greater Yellowstone area (northern Rocky Mountains) was removed from the endangered species list in March, making this animal fair game for hunters. The July ruling of Judge Donald W. Molloy of the Federal District Court has placed the animal back under the protection of the Endangered Species Act.

Mysterious Leatherback Now Being Tracked

0 comments

For years the Leatherback turtle's travel patterns
have been anything but predictable. These sea voyagers are rarely found alive on
beaches and enjoy a life of ocean travels. Now, marine biologists are releasing
clues into the secret lives of these nomad turtles.

Minutes after hatching, male Leatherbacks enter
the water and will not return to the beach...ever. Females only become beached
when laying their eggs. The Leatherback is the world's largest living turtle
and can grow to a monstrous size.

Slow...Whales Xing

2 comments

For nearly 73 years the ban on fishing the right whales off the Atlantic Coast (the whales' natural habitat spans from the Bay of Fundy off Nova Scotia, Canada, to the coast of north Florida) has been in effect. Yet, the species still has not increased in population.

For centuries, whale hunters nicknamed the species "right whales" because their mellow personalities, shallow feeding habits and lumbering, 70-ton bodies made them the easiest, or the right, whales to kill.
