Thursday, July 28, 2011 at 03:36PM Spearheaded by NUS researchers, Singapore's first ever biodiversity encyclopedia is published, covering over 200 years of Singapore's rich natural history
Friday, December 3, 2010 at 12:45PM Some 200 news species of animals and plants, including an orange spider, a jabbing spiny-legged katydid (bush cricket) and a minute long-nosed frog, have been discovered in Papua New Guinea's remote jungle-clad mountains.
Monday, July 26, 2010 at 06:08PM What happened in the Gulf was a subsea blowout. There is a world of difference between a spill and a blowout, says George H.Croy, who also points out other facts missed by most critics.
Tuesday, May 11, 2010 at 12:08PM Rafflesia was first discovered in the Indonesian rainforest by a guide working for Dr. Joseph Arnold in 1818. So far, 27 species has been found of the plant that was named after Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, who headed the team which discovered the unique plant. They can only be found in southeastern Asia, particularly Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra, and the Philippines.
Thursday, May 6, 2010 at 10:34PM Geologists, eco-tourism operators and academics from 13 countries at the conference offered concepts, shared success stories and related challenges faced in geotourism.
Friday, February 12, 2010 at 02:47AM The Philippines tarsier is under threat due to deforestation and other factors.
Tuesday, February 2, 2010 at 03:15AM Biodiversity – coined from biological diversity – is most often thought of as the variety of organisms on earth. Yet it also includes two other factors: ecological diversity (the variety of ecosystems and ecological communities) and genetic diversity (the range of genetic differences found within and between species).
Saturday, August 15, 2009 at 08:43AM Infestation of water hyacinth need not be a problem as commercial uses for the tenacious water plant are developed. This paves the way for them to be cash crops that no longer threaten water ecosystems.
Sunday, August 2, 2009 at 09:10AM The Philippine eagle is one of the most endangered species in the country. Here's why.
Friday, May 8, 2009 at 09:26AM The deterioration of the fragile ecosystems has made Filipino more vulnerable to natural hazards like floods, droughts, cyclones, earthquakes, windstorms, tidal waves, and landslides. “Rapid population growth, increasing population density, and environmental degradation are accelerating vulnerability to disasters as settlements encroach into disaster-prone lands,” the PRB says.
Saturday, May 2, 2009 at 02:47PM Biodiversity is the buzzword for biological diversity – the ecosystems, species, and genes that together constitute the living world. “Biodiversity is complex beyond our understanding, and valuable beyond our ability to measure,” explains John C. Ryan, author of Life Support: Conserving Biological Diversity.
Monday, December 8, 2008 at 09:19PM Deforestation is leading to close to 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, which in turn are leading to climate change and possible extinction of 20-30 percent of all species on earth.
Saturday, July 19, 2008 at 03:43PM Planting a tree to cool the earth has spread like fire, an initiative inspired by Nobel Peace Prize Winner Wangari Maathai. Since its launch in 2006 by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Billion Tree Campaign has mobilized tree-planting efforts worldwide, with children, communities, governments and CEOs getting their hands dirty in the act.
Monday, July 7, 2008 at 03:09PM Planting trees, we are told, is an effective way to combat climate change. Trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and a vast pool of them like those in the forest are one of the best carbon sinks that keep CO2 from heating up the atmosphere. Or are they?
Thursday, June 12, 2008 at 03:51PM The 22nd of April 2008 was not like any other. Dive for Earth Day by Project AWARE saw thousands of divers, snorkelers and water enthusiasts volunteering with marine environment protection simultaneously at 122 events across the Asia Pacific.
Monday, May 12, 2008 at 04:42PM Singapore-based Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (ACRES) has brought to light illegal wildlife captivity and trade in local grounds.
Tuesday, April 29, 2008 at 01:23PM How the southern gastric brooding frog (Rheobatrachus) in Australia went extinct before research in gastric-related illnesses could be carried out.
Wednesday, March 26, 2008 at 11:57AM The word ‘biodiversity’ has crept into eco vocab along with carbon emission, global warming and climate change. What does it mean and why should we care?
