(11/25/2014) Red pandas, bear-like arboreal mammals with red, furry tails, are poached mainly for their fur. Found primarily at higher elevation forests of the eastern Himalayas, these pandas spend most of their time in trees, and feed mainly on bamboo. But much of their forest habitat has been destroyed due to illegal logging.
Chameleon crisis: extinction threatens 36% of world's chameleons
(11/24/2014) Chameleons are an unmistakable family of wonderfully bizarre reptiles. They sport long, shooting tongues; oddly-shaped horns or crests; and a prehensile tail like a monkey's. But, chameleons are most known for their astonishing ability to change the color of their skin. Now, a update of the IUCN Red List finds that this unique group is facing a crisis that could send dozens of chameleons, if not more, to extinction.
Scientists capture first-ever footage of wild red pandas in Myanmar (VIDEO)
(11/21/2014) This year, a team of scientists in Myanmar (also called Burma), caught a pair of reclusive red pandas on camera, for the first time ever. The bushy tailed pandas were climbing up a rocky pile of rubble left behind in the region by Chinese loggers. For the scientists, the footage was bitter-sweet.
Gone for good: world's largest earwig declared extinct
(11/19/2014) The world has lost a giant: this week the IUCN Red List officially declared St. Helena giant earwig extinct. While its length of 80 millimeters (3.1 inches) may not seem like much, it's massive for an earwig and impressive for an insect. Only found on the island of St. Helena in the remote southern Atlantic, experts believe the St. Helena giant earwig was pushed to extinction by habitat destruction.
Conflict-fueled deforestation, poaching in Assam continue despite truce
(11/19/2014) Northeastern India boasts nearly 44 percent of the country's dense forests, and contains one of the most biodiverse areas in the world. However, the region lost approximately 548,440 hectares of tree cover—more than 3 percent—from 2001 through 2012. Sonitpur, Assam, has been particularly hard hit as people flooded into the area and cleared forest.
Palm oil interest surges in Papua New Guinea
(11/19/2014) As the lands of traditional palm oil powerhouses like Indonesia and Malaysia have become saturated with plantations, companies looking to profit have turned to vast areas of seemingly untouched tropical forest in other parts of the world – places like Papua New Guinea. But, in fact, say advocates of local communities, those forests often support the lives and livelihoods of millions of people who must have their rights taken into account.
Disappearing oasis: northeastern India losing forests as people move in
(11/18/2014) Northeastern India is part of the Eastern Himalaya biodiversity hotspot, one of the megadiverse areas of the world. The region boasts more than 60 percent forest cover, compared to the 15 percent for India as a whole. However, not all is pristine when one visits areas designated as forest on the map.
Mapping mistake leaves wildlife at risk
(11/12/2014) Scientists have discovered a new, endangered plant species in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), in an area that is supposed to be protected as a reserve. However, mapping errors effectively moved the reserve's boundaries 50 kilometers to the west, opening up the region and its vulnerable wildlife to human disturbance.
New laws may turn Brazil's forests into mines
(11/07/2014) With the world's largest system of protected areas and a 70 percent drop in the deforestation rate of the Amazon over the past decade, Brazil has made huge strides in safeguarding what's left of its wilderness. However, this progress now hangs in the balance, with new laws threatening to turn many of the country's protected areas into mines and dams.
Indonesia's new president, ministers have big plans for fish
(11/06/2014) Indonesia's new president, Joko Widodo (or Jokowi, as he's popularly called) spent half his 11-minute inaugural address thanking God, his partisans and the citizenry at large. For the rest of the speech he talked about oceans. Was this just rhetorical flourish, or does it portend a new seriousness about maritime management?
91% of Kenya's protected areas shrank in 100 years
(11/04/2014) Over the last century, 91.7 percent of all changes to protected areas in Kenya have involved reductions in their area, known as downsizing, which is an unusual and remarkable statistic from a global perspective. Analyses show, however, that a variety of factors—including some that which occurred half a century ago—could be responsible for the status of forests in Kenya today.
De-protection of Protected Areas ramps up in Brazil, 'compromises the capacity' of ecosystems
(10/31/2014) Brazil has reserved about 17.6 percent of its land (1.5 million square kilometers) to receive protection from unauthorized exploitation of resources. However, despite significant expansions in protected areas since the mid-2000s, the formation of Protected Areas has stagnated in the country since 2009, and many have had their protections completely revoked.
'Too many people': Philippine island being deforested despite extensive protections
(10/31/2014) About an hour and a half plane ride from the Philippine capital Manila is Palawan, a long, narrow island home to about a quarter of all the animal species found in the country. But the province is losing its forests at a rapid clip due to human population increases, logging, quarrying, mining, and even a huge palm plantation.
Dissolving pulp: a growing threat to global forests
(10/30/2014) Dissolving pulp is not just a threat to the forests of Indonesia. It is a growing industry across the globe, and it's putting several of the world's endangered forests in jeopardy.
Destroyed habitat, fewer resources, Ebola: the many repercussions of Liberia's deforestation
(10/29/2014) Liberia is one of the last strongholds of intact forest in West Africa. These forests are the home of many unique species of plants and animals, and many Liberians rely on the forests for direct economic benefits. The presence of intact forests may even be important for preventing the future outbreak of disease such as Ebola, which can be transmitted to people from animal vectors displaced by deforestation.
Tigers vs. diamonds: India's protected areas rampantly downgraded to make room for people, industry
(10/29/2014) In India's central state of Madhya Pradesh lie 500 square kilometers (200 square miles) of protected land demarcated as the Panna Tiger Reserve. Recently, however, its protection status has been questioned, and global-scale analyses show Panna is far from alone among India's many threatened Protected Areas.
World's rarest gorilla gets a new protected home
(10/28/2014) The Cross River Gorilla, the rarest and most threatened of gorilla subspecies, has reason to cheer. Last month, on September 29, the Prime Minister of Cameroon, Philemon Yang, signed a decree to officially create a new protected area – Tofala Wildlife Sanctuary – in the southwestern part of the country.
How protected are they? Report finds world's Protected Areas may relax, shrink, even completely disappear
(10/28/2014) On March 1, 1872, the United States Congress declared 3,400 square miles of land spanning three states as the country's - and the world's - first national park. We call it Yellowstone. Today, there are over 160,000 PAs spanning 12.7 percent of the planet's land surface.
Conservationists propose Dracula Reserve in Ecuador
(10/24/2014) Deep in the dark, cool forests of Ecuador and Colombia live strange and mysterious organisms. Some inhabit the trees and others stay to the ground, and many are threatened by human encroachment. Because of this threat, Rainforest Trust has launched a Halloween fundraising drive to help pay for the creation of the Dracula Reserve--named for its dramatic inhabitant, the Dracula orchid.
Google's new Gombe Street View lets users 'walk' along chimp trails and into Jane Goodall's house
(10/24/2014) Google Maps is now available for Tanzanian forest paths. Users can walk virtually along the same trails Jane Goodall has used for her decades of chimpanzee monitoring -- and even into her house.
Brazil declares new protected area larger than Delaware
(10/23/2014) Earlier this week, the Brazilian government announced the declaration of a new federal reserve deep in the Amazon rainforest. The protections conferred by the move will illegalize deforestation, reduce carbon emissions, and help safeguard the future of the area's renowned wildlife.
Gold mining expanding rapidly along Guiana Shield, threatening forests, water, wildlife
(10/22/2014) Gold mining is on the rise in the Guiana Shield, a geographic region of South America that holds one of the world's largest undisturbed tract of rainforest. A new mapping technology using a radar and optical imaging combination has detected a significant increase in mining since 2000, threatening the region's forests and water quality.
'No forests, no cash': palm oil giants commit to sustainability, but will they follow through?
(10/21/2014) Four of Indonesia's largest palm oil producers signed a landmark commitment in New York in September to further implement sustainable practices across one of the country's largest commercial sectors. Then-President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and the Indonesia Chamber of Commerce (KADIN) witnessed the undertaking, which is hoped to expand the country's palm oil industry while making it more environmentally friendly.
Indonesia developing mega coal mine five times larger than Singapore
(10/20/2014) Global miner BHP Billiton and Indonesian partner PT Adaro are developing what could become the single largest mine in Indonesia in terms of land area, with BHP owning 75 percent. The IndoMet mine complex in Central and East Kalimantan provinces on Borneo comprises seven coal concessions, which cover 350,000 hectares, or about five times the size of Singapore.
Walking the walk: zoo kicks off campaign for orangutans and sustainable palm oil
(10/20/2014) If you see people wearing orange this October, it might not be for Halloween, but for orangutans. Chester Zoo's conservation campaign, Go Orange for Orangutans, kicks off this month for its second year. The campaign aims to raise money, and awareness, for orangutans in Borneo, which have become hugely impacted by deforestation often linked to palm oil plantations.
Indonesia's tough choice: capping coal as Asian demand grows
(10/17/2014) Indonesia cannot build power stations fast enough. And neither can most of its Asian neighbors. Rapid economic and population growth are driving equally rapid demands for electricity as the region builds out power grids to connect up millions of people to fuel prosperity.
Indonesia tries to clamp down on coal sector's worst excesses
(10/16/2014) Out of the jungles of East Borneo in Indonesia comes the fire that fuels Asia's burgeoning economies: coal. Miners dig deep open pits, clearing forests and farmlands to extract coal from thick black seams, which is then crushed and loaded onto trucks and barges for shipment to China, India, Japan and other destinations in Asia.
India plans huge palm oil expansion, puts forests at risk
(10/14/2014) The world's largest importer of palm oil, India is seeking to slake its thirst domestically. The Ministry of Agriculture estimates that India has the potential to cultivate oil palm in 1.03 million hectares of land--nearly the size of the U.S. state of Connecticut--and produce four to five million metric tons of palm oil per year.
'River wolves' recover in Peruvian park, but still remain threatened inside and out (photos)
(10/14/2014) Lobo de río, or river wolf, is the very evocative Spanish name for one of the Amazon's most spectacular mammals: the giant river otter. This highly intelligent, deeply social, and simply charming freshwater predator almost vanished entirely due to a relentless fur trade in the 20th Century. But decades after the trade in giant river otter pelts was outlawed, the species is making a comeback.
Forest restoration commitments: driven by science or politics?
(10/10/2014) During September's UN Climate Summit, three African nations were recognized for their commitments to restore collectively millions of hectares of forest. But several organizations declined invitations to sign the pact because they say it fails to lay out "concrete action" to fight climate change, and some experts in the field worry that the announcements are little more than political posturing.
'A remarkable conservation achievement': Ecuador reserve expands as forest disappears
(10/09/2014) A strip of rainforest running along the northwestern Ecuadorian coast and up through Colombia is one of the most biodiverse places in the world. Yet, less than 10 percent of Ecuador's portion remains intact, with more forest lost every year to human development. But a little more has been saved for now, with 500 hectares added to an area reserve.
Helping orangutans survive: new project aims to connect habitat fragments in Kalimantan (PART II)
(10/08/2014) Two decades ago, a project to convert one million hectares of forest to rice paddies was undertaken by the Indonesian government in southern Kalimantan. The project was a massive failure and was eventually abandoned, but not before it destroyed critical orangutan habitat. Now a new project is trying to knit together what's left and turn the area's isolated orangutan populations into one of Borneo's largest.
Marooned in shrinking forests, Bornean orangutans hang on as disaster looms (PART I)
(10/07/2014) The great apes are among some of the most endangered species on Earth, the targets of poachers and the victims of deforestation. However, from time-to-time there comes news of hope. A study published recently describes the dire situation faced by Bornean orangutans, as well as an ambitious project to help save them.
Will 'Asia's unicorn' survive? Hunting and deforestation continue in Vietnam biosphere reserve PART II
(10/02/2014) Encompassing 1.3 million hectares, Western Nghe An Biosphere Reserve the largest such reserve in all of Southeast Asia. Because of the biological importance of the region, it was designated a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 2007. But deforestation and bushmeat hunting continue, begging the question: is the wildlife of Western Nghe An Biosphere Reserve truly protected?
The largest biosphere reserve in Southeast Asia: Vietnam's success story or a conservation failure? PART I
(09/30/2014) In 2010, poachers shot and killed the last Javan rhino in Vietnam, wiping out an entire subspecies. The Sumatran rhino, the Malayan tapir and the civet otter, too, have disappeared from the country. Moreover, charismatic species like tigers, elephants, gibbons and the secretive saola discovered recently in Vietnam's forests are at risk of extinction in the coming decades as threats to wildlife continue unabated in the country.
Studying common birds could help save rare species in Vietnam
(09/30/2014) Studies in conservation biology often focus on rare, threatened species faced with impending extinction, but what about common animals of least concern? Could they too help conservationists fine-tune their approach? Doctoral researcher Laurel Yohe not only claims that they can, but demonstrates how in a new study. She and five other researchers compared ranges of five babblers with development across Vietnam.
Climate change to boost farmland, diminish harvests, says new study
(09/29/2014) Climate change is likely to alter how we humans grow adequate amounts of food for a swelling global population. Assessing just how much and where those changes will occur has been difficult. But a new study takes aim at those very questions and could provide a guide for the debate over feeding the planet while also preserving biodiversity and the forests that filter out the carbon we produce.
Diverse, deceptive, declining: orchids threatened by deforestation in South America
(09/26/2014) Pushing past a thick fern leaf, Crain stopped short, overcome by joy. As he broke into dance, his assistant peered curiously at the tiny lentil-shaped fruit dangling from a stem, and resolutely decided Crain was mad. After more than two years studying a rare Puerto Rican endemic orchid species, Crain had finally found his first specimen bearing fruit.
Dissolving pulp: the threat to Indonesia's forests you've probably never heard of
(09/23/2014) If the term "dissolving pulp" evokes nothing for you, you're not alone. Not many people have heard of it, and the very term "dissolving pulp" is so generic it's hard to imagine it could be a threat to anything.
From 'production' forests to protected forests, groups work to save Sumatran orangutan habitat. But will it be enough?
(09/16/2014) The orangutan is native exclusively to the islands of Borneo and Sumatra — two regions that have seen the brunt of Indonesia's recent forest destruction due primarily to logging and plantation development. Although there are anywhere from 45,000 to 69,000 Bornean orangutans remaining in the wild, the Sumatran species numbers only about 7,300 according to a 2004 survey, and is dwindling further every year.
WCS-led raids lead to six arrests near Mozambique's largest reserve
(09/12/2014) A joint force of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and government authorities are in the midst of carrying out a series of raids against poachers in Mozambique aimed at halting the illegal killing of elephants in Niassa National Reserve, the country's largest protected area. Six men, thought to be responsible for killing 39 elephants in 2014, were arrested in an early morning bust in the town of Marrupa, just south of the park.
The last of her kind: centennial of the death of the world's last passenger pigeon
(09/01/2014) They once numbered in the billions, flying 60 miles per hour in flocks that darkened the sky. But on September 1, 1914, one hundred years ago today, the last member of what may have been the most numerous bird species on the planet died in a cage in the Cincinnati zoo.
Where should the roads go? New map offers a solution to the 'Pandora's Box of environmental problems'
(08/27/2014) Roads make it possible to bring goods to market, to get to the office, to log a forest, to hunt its wildlife. Without roads, human society as we know it could not exist. However, to build roads, trees must be cleared and swamps drained, shrinking valuable wildlife habitat and fragmenting populations in the process. A new study unveils an innovative map that defines which areas of the world would be best used to build roads – and which should be left alone.
What lies within, we may never know: deforestation threatening Sulawesi's unique wildlife
(08/26/2014) For 10 million years the Indonesian island of Sulawesi has been disconnected from other landforms, almost inviting evolution to color outside the lines. Despite a growing population and limited space, Sulawesi has managed to provide a safe haven to hundreds of unique species as they evolved over millennia. But that haven may soon be lost to uncontrolled extraction of forest products from Sulawesi's many pristine ecosystems.
Can it be stopped? Ghana's forests 'could completely disappear in less than 25 years'
(08/25/2014) Ghana contains forests that are biologically unique and important both for the wildlife they contain and the human communities that depend on them. However, the country is experiencing one of the greatest rates of deforestation in West Africa. At its current rate of forest loss, a study estimates that Ghana could be devoid of major forest cover in less than a quarter-century.
An uncertain future: world's last wild Siberian tigers threatened by illegal logging, global warming, disease (PART II)
(08/22/2014) Every year, between 20 and 30 tigers are poached. Illegal logging is reducing the tigers' habitat, and illegal hunting is reducing its food supply. However, these are not the only threats to wild tiger survival -- other problems are cropping up and taking a toll on the iconic big cat.
Have scientists discovered a new primate in the Philippines?
(08/21/2014) Despite some media reports, scientists have not yet discovered a new species of big-eyed, nocturnal primate—known as tarsiers—in the Philippines. Instead what they have discovered is an intriguing population that is genetically-distinct even from nearby relatives, according to a new open-access paper in PLOS ONE.
Running to reforest: communities, NGOs work to save Ugandan reserve in the midst of massive deforestation
(08/21/2014) Stung by massive loss of forest cover in Bugoma central forest reserve, part of a vast chimpanzee habitat in the western part of Uganda, seven private local and international organizations in the east African country have joined hands to raise awareness of forest issues and money for reforestation efforts -- by launching a conservation-themed quarter-marathon.
Logging of Russian Far East damaging tiger habitat, few intact forests protected (Part I)
(08/19/2014) The destruction of Russian forests to supply timber to international markets is becoming one of the biggest threats to the world's largest cat, the Siberian tiger. Russia has more forests than any other country, with more than half of the world's coniferous forests. However, worldwide demand for high quality timber, along with weak regulations, has led to widespread logging of Russia's trees.
When forests aren't really forests: the high cost of Chile's tree plantations
(08/18/2014) At first glance, the statistics tell a hopeful story: Chile's forests are expanding. On the ground, however, a different scene plays out: monocultures have replaced diverse natural forests while Mapuche native protesters burn pine plantations, blockade roads and destroy logging equipment. At the crux of these two starkly contrasting narratives is the definition of a single word: "forest."
'Natural Reserves' no more: illegal colonists deforest huge portions of Nicaraguan protected areas
(08/13/2014) In southeastern Nicaragua, abutting the coastal Caribbean town of Bluefields, lie two nature reserves - Cerro Silva and Punta Gorda - that are embroiled in a bitter battle for survival against the speedily encroaching agricultural frontier. The forest is all but decimated here, with disconnected patches whose very existence rests precariously in the hands of its occupiers - both legal and illegal.
Titanium vs. Millipedes: new species discovered in Madagascar threatened by mining
(08/13/2014) A team of scientists from the United States and Germany has recently described seven new species of Malagasy giant pill-millipede. All but one of these species are considered "microendemics," in that they have only been found in small, isolated forest patches.
Indonesia's children see ravaged environment in their future
(08/11/2014) A generation ago, Borneo was one of the wildest places on the planet. But decades of logging and oil palm plantations has changed the landscape of Borneo forever: in fact a recent study found that the island has lost 30 percent of its total forest cover since 1973. In the face of this large-scale environmental destruction, a new study finds that Indonesian Borneo's children have a pessimistic view of their future.
Yellow spots, orange stripes: vivid new frog species discovered in Malaysia
(08/05/2014) Scientists have identified a new species of frog on the Malay Peninsula. The newly named Hylorana centropeninsularis was discovered in a peat swamp and genetic analyses revealed that it is evolutionarily distinct from its stream-dwelling cousins.
The Philippines: where 'megadiversity' meets mega deforestation
(07/31/2014) Ongoing loss of forest cover in the Philippines places it among the top ten most threatened forest hotspots in the world, with the archipelago ranking fourth, behind Indo-Burma, New Caledonia and Sundaland (a region encompassing Australia and parts of Southeast Asia). According to a report issued by Conservation International, only seven percent of Philippine forests remain intact.
Only 15 percent of world's biodiversity hotspots left intact
(07/14/2014) The world's 35 biodiversity hotspots—which harbor 75 percent of the planet's endangered land vertebrates—are in more trouble than expected, according to a sobering new analysis of remaining primary vegetation. In all less than 15 percent of natural intact vegetation is left in the these hotspots, which include well-known jewels such as Madagascar, the tropical Andes, and Sundaland.
Good intentions, collateral damage: forest conservation may be hurting grasslands
(07/10/2014) Trees absorb CO2 and trap carbon molecules, and countless are lost as forests are felled around the world. So why not plant as many as we can? A recent paper suggests otherwise; the planting of more trees through international reforestation schemes may actually be harming tropical grasslands, which harbor endemic species and offer unique ecosystem services.
The last best place no more: massive deforestation destroying prime chimp habitat in Uganda
(07/09/2014) The Kafu River, which is about 180 kilometers (110 miles) long, is part of a vast chimpanzee habitat that includes forest reserves and several unofficial protected areas. However, this region of Uganda is losing a significant portion of valuable chimpanzee habitat, and at least 20 percent of the forest cover along the Kafu River has disappeared since 2001.
A children's book inspired by murder: the 25th anniversary of 'The Great Kapok Tree'
(07/03/2014) "The Great Kapok Tree" was written by Lynne Cherry in response to the murder of Brazilian environmental activist Chico Mendes, who was assassinated by a rancher in 1988 in Brazil. Mendes' murder was a significant international incident galvanizing support for environmental activists working to protect the Amazon forest.
On a whim: Equatorial Guinea building new capital city in the middle of the rainforest
(07/02/2014) More than 8,000 hectares of rainforest are under threat as the nation builds a new $600 million capital city from scratch. Called Oyala, and also known as Djibloho, the city is expected be completed by 2020 and house up to 200,000 people -- about an eighth of the entire population of Equatorial Guinea.
On babies and motherhood: how giant armadillos are surprising scientists (photos)
(07/01/2014) Until ten years ago scientist's knowledge of the reproductive habits of the giant armadillo— the world's biggest— were basically regulated to speculation. But a long-term research project in the Brazilian Pantanal is changing that: last year researchers announced the first ever photos of a baby giant armadillo and have since recorded a second birth from another female.
Unrelenting population growth driving global warming, mass extinction
(06/26/2014) It took humans around 200,000 years to reach a global population of one billion. But, in two hundred years we've septupled that. In fact, over the last 40 years we've added an extra billion approximately every dozen years. And the United Nations predicts we'll add another four billion—for a total of 11 billion—by century's end.
Logging in Vietnam still affecting rare trees 30 years later
(06/25/2014) Restricted geographic ranges, high habitat specificity, and small local population sizes all contribute to the natural rarity of many tree species. Anthropogenic activities such as selective logging can compound this rarity by modifying habitats and altering the competitive balance among tree species. According to a new study, previous logging in the forests of Vietnam continue to put rare tree species at risk.
'Hope springs eternal': the anniversary of the death of Lonesome George
(06/24/2014) Today marks the two-year anniversary of the death of Lonesome George, the world's last Pinta Island tortoise. The occasion calls attention to the declines of many turtle and tortoise species, which together form one of the most swiftly disappearing groups of animals on the planet.
Feather forensics: scientist uses genes to track macaws, aid bird conservation
(06/17/2014) When a massive road project connected the ports of Brazil to the shipping docks of Peru in 2011, conservationists predicted widespread impacts on wildlife. Roads are a well-documented source of habitat fragmentation, interfering with access to available habitat for many terrestrial and tree-dwelling species. However, it wasn't clear whether or not birds are able to fly over these barriers.
Over 800 species added to IUCN threatened list, including 44 lemurs
(06/16/2014) Experts have added 817 species to the threatened categories of the IUCN Red List in the latest update. Those added include 51 mammals—mostly lemurs—and over 400 plants. The new update finds that over 90 percent of lemurs and 79 percent of temperate slipper orchids are threatened with extinction.
Zebras for the win! Africa's longest land migration discovered
(05/29/2014) With food and water scarce in many parts of Africa, many species migrate long-distances in order to survive. A new study published in the journal, Oryx has found a new record-breaker for the continent's longest tracked terrestrial migration: a huge group of zebras that traveled a total distance of 500 kilometers (300 miles).
Trawling: destructive fishing method is turning seafloors to 'deserts'
(05/28/2014) Previous research has linked trawling to significant environmental impacts, such as the harvest of large numbers of non-target species, collectively termed "bycatch," as well as destruction of shallow seabeds. Now, a new study finds this method is also resulting in long-term, far-reaching consequences in the deeper ocean and beyond.
Greenpeace accuses controversial palm oil company and Cameroon government of illegal logging
(05/28/2014) Greenpeace has just accused one of the world's most controversial oil palm companies, Herakles Farms, of colluding with top government officials to sell off illegally logged timber to China. According to a new report, an agreement between Cameroon's Minister of Forestry and Herkales Farms—through a shell company—could torpedo the country's agreement with the EU for better timber management.
Zero-deforestation commitments pose acute challenges for commercial giants in the palm oil industry
(05/22/2014) The path to zero-deforestation appears to be paved with good intentions, but how successful are these companies in staying on that path? A controversial proposal to construct a refinery in the wildlife-rich Balikpapan Bay in Indonesian Borneo highlights the challenges faced by both palm oil companies and conservationists in the face of zero-deforestation commitments.
Dancing frogs: scientists discover 14 new species in India (PHOTOS, VIDEO)
(05/16/2014) Scientists have discovered 14 new species of frogs in the mountainous tropical forests of India's Western Ghats, all of which are described in a recent study published in the Ceylon Journal of Science. The new species are all from a single genus, and are collectively referred to as "dancing frogs" due to the unusual courtship behavior of the males.
Connecting forests, saving species: conservation group plans extensive wildlife corridor in Panama
(05/16/2014) With the cooperation of hundreds of ranchers and researchers, Azuero Earth Project aims to replant a swath of tropical dry forest, connecting the dry tropical forest on the coast to cloud forest further inland. The trees along the 140-kilometer (80-mile) wildlife corridor will create a continuous habitat for the Critically Endangered Azuero spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi azuerensis) and improve the soil for people who farm and ranch along the way.
Elephants in the midst: warning system prevents human-elephant conflicts in India, saves lives
(05/08/2014) Indian elephants once freely roamed the rich mid-elevation evergreen forests of the Valparai plateau in the Western Ghats, one of the world's mega biodiversity regions, but they can't move the way they used to. Ever-increasing commercial plantations and settlements have become obstacles to the daily and seasonal movements of elephants, creating more chances for often-deadly encounters between humans and elephants.
Will they hold on? Three new gecko species found in threatened habitat
(05/02/2014) Malaysia is set to lose ancient limestone formations to quarrying despite the discovery of new species of geckos in the area. The species are described in three studies recently published in the journal Zootaxa. One of the discoveries, Cyrtodactylus metropolis, is the first endemic vertebrate species discovered in the Batu Caves area.
The lemur end-game: scientists propose ambitious plan to save the world's most imperiled mammal family
(02/20/2014) Due to the wonderful idiosyncrasies of evolution, there is one country on Earth that houses 20 percent of the world's primates. More astounding still, every single one of these primates—an entire distinct family in fact—are found no-where else. The country is, of course, Madagascar and the primates in question are, of course, lemurs. But the far-flung island of Madagascar, once a safe haven for wild evolutionary experiments, has become an ecological nightmare. Overpopulation, deep poverty, political instability, slash-and-burn agriculture, illegal logging for lucrative woods, and a booming bushmeat trade has placed 94 percent of the world's lemurs under threat of extinction, making this the most imperiled mammal group on the planet. But, in order to stem a rapid march toward extinction, conservationists today publicized an emergency three year plan to safeguard 30 important lemur forests in the journal Science.
REDD+ should finance corridors between protected areas, argues study
(02/14/2014) The Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) program should finance protection of corridors linking existing protected areas in order to better safeguard biodiversity while simultaneously helping mitigate climate change, argues a study published last month in Nature Climate Change.
Migrating monarch butterflies hit shockingly low numbers
(01/31/2014) The monarch butterfly population overwintering in Mexico this year has hit its lowest numbers ever, according to WWF-Mexico. Monarch butterflies covered just 0.67 hectares in Mexico's forest, a drop of 44 percent from 2012 already perilously low population. To put this in perspective the average monarch coverage from 1994-2014 was 6.39 or nearly ten times this year's. For years conservationists feared that deforestation in Mexico would spell the end of the monarch migration, but now scientists say that agricultural and policy changes in the U.S. and Canada—including GMO crops and habitat loss—is strangling off one of the world's great migrations.
Madagascar's most famous lemur facing big threats
(12/18/2013) The ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta), perhaps the most well-known of Madagascar's endemic animals, is facing a "very high" risk of extinction in the wild. The Madagascar Section of the IUCN Primate Specialist Group reassessed the Red List status of ring-tailed lemurs and upgraded the species from Near-Threatened (2008) to Endangered (2012). Ring-tailed lemurs are facing extinction in some parts of Madagascar because of continued habitat loss, and more recently, species exploitation.
New Guinea animals losing vital tree cavities to logging, hunting practices
(12/17/2013) Across New Guinea, deforestation is occurring at increasing levels. Whether it be industrial logging, monoculture plantations, hunters felling trees in pursuit of arboreal wildlife, or other forms of forest conversion, deforestation is depleting not only forest carbon stocks and understory environments, but habitats for species who call tree cavities "home." A new study in mongabay.com's open-access journal, Tropical Conservation Science, evaluated whether a variety of man-made nest boxes could function as suitable substitutes for tree cavities.
Bonobos: the Congo Basin's great gardeners
(12/11/2013) The survival of primary forests depends on many overlapping interactions. Among these interactions include tropical gardeners, like the bonobo (Pan pansicus) in the Congo Basin, according to a new study in the Journal of Tropical Ecology. Bonobos are known as a keystone species, vital to the diversification and existence of their forests.
Sri Lankan elephant amnesty will lead to poaching, warn conservationists
(12/03/2013) Environmentalists have responded with alarm to a proposed amnesty permitting the registration of illegally captured elephants in Sri Lanka. Recent reports in Sri Lankan media have outlined the proposal, stating that during the amnesty period it would be possible to register elephant calves for a fee of about $7,600. Elephants are closely linked with Sri Lankan history and culture, and are considered sacred in both Buddhism and Hinduism. But the situation for elephants in the country is complicated.
Where have all the dugongs gone?
(12/03/2013) Legend has it that lonely sailors mistook them for beautiful, mythical mermaids. But as it turns out, the muse behind these beguiling sea nymphs was instead the dugong – a rather ungainly, gentle and mini-bus sized marine mammal, cousin to the manatees and part of the sea cow family. However, while they may have once fuelled stories for fairytales and Disney movies, their far-from-glamorous life is currently under serious threat in many parts of the world.
New project works to raise the profile of the world's littlest bear
(12/02/2013) The world's least-known bear also happens to be the smallest: sun bears (Helarctos malayanus), so called for the yellowish horseshoe mark on its chest, are found across Southeast Asia. But despite their telltale markings, super-long tongues, and endearing cuteness, sun bears remain little-studied and little-known compared to many of the region's other large mammals. Now, a new project is working to raise the profile of the sun bears of Borneo—Survival of the Sun Bears—which are a smaller subspecies of the mainland animals.
Scientists discover new cat species roaming Brazil
(11/27/2013) As a family, cats are some of the most well-studied animals on Earth, but that doesn't mean these adept carnivores don't continue to surprise us. Scientists have announced today the stunning discovery of a new species of cat, long-confused with another. Looking at the molecular data of small cats in Brazil, researchers found that the tigrina—also known as the oncilla in Central America—is actually two separate species. The new species has been dubbed Leopardus guttulus and is found in the Atlantic Forest of southern Brazil, while the other Leopardus tigrinus is found in the cerrado and Caatinga ecosystems in northeastern Brazil.
Critically Endangered Jamaican iguana imperiled by port development
(11/08/2013) The story of the Jamaican iguana (Cyclura collie) is one of adversity and resurgence. Once believed extinct, the species has made a remarkable comeback over the last two decades. However, according to concerned scientists, a new plan to build a massive port in the iguana's habitat could push the species back to the edge of extinction.
Scientists discover that threatened bird migrates entirely within Amazon Basin
(09/11/2013) When one thinks of bird migrations, it's usually a north-south route that follows seasonal climates. But researchers in the Amazon have tracked, for the first time, a largely-unknown long-distance migration that sticks entirely to the Amazon Basin. Using satellite telemetry, scientists tracked a pair of Orinoco geese (Neochen jubata) from Peru and a male from Western Brazil, who both migrated to the Llanos de Moxos, a vast savanna and Amazonian watershed in Bolivia. The research has shown that the Orinoco geese—which breeds in both Peru and Brazil—depends on wetlands in the Llanos de Moxos for much of the year.
Featured video: 'this is day one for the olinguito'
(09/04/2013) Last month scientists unveiled a remarkable discovery: a new mammal in the order Carnivora (even though it mostly lives off fruits) in the Andean cloud forests. This was the first new mammal from that order in the Western Hemisphere since the 1970s. The olinguito had long been mistaken for its closest relatives, olingos—small tree-dwelling mammals that inhabit the lowland rainforests of South and Central America—however genetic research showed the olinguito had actually been separated by 3-4 million years from its cousins.
Ground zero for endangered species: new program to assist animals on the brink across Southeast Asia
(08/27/2013) Organizations within the international conservation community are joining forces to minimize impending extinctions in Southeast Asia, where habitat loss, trade and hunting have contributed to a dramatic decline in wildlife. The coalition is aptly named ASAP, or the Asian Species Action Partnership.
Safeguarding nine priority areas could protect all of Tanzania's primates
(08/20/2013) Researchers at the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) have recently developed a list of "Priority Primate Areas" to save Tanzania's many primate species from extinction. A hub of unique and endangered primates, Tanzania is widely considered to be the most important mainland country for primate diversity in Africa. Approximately a third of the 27 primate species found in Tanzania are unique to the country, including the recently discovered kipunji.
Zoo races to save extreme butterfly from extinction
(08/15/2013) In a large room that used to house aquatic mammals at the Minnesota Zoo, Erik Runquist holds up a vial and says, 'Here are its eggs.' I peer inside and see small specks, pale with a dot of brown at the top; they look like a single grain of cous cous or quinoa. Runquist explains that the brown on the top is the head cap of the larva, a fact that becomes more clear under a microscope when you can see the encased larva squirm. I'm looking at the eggs of a Poweshiek skipperling, a species that is more imperiled than pandas, tigers, or bluewhales. Once superabundant, only several hundred Poweshiek skipperlings may survive on Earth today and the eggs I'm looking at are the only ones in captivity.
Scientists discover teddy bear-like mammal hiding out in Andean cloud forests (photos)
(08/15/2013) While the olinguito looks like a wild, tree-climbing teddy bear with a cat's tail, it's actually the world's newest mammalian carnivore. The remarkable discovery—the first mammal carnivore uncovered in the Western Hemisphere since the 1970s—was found in the lush cloud forests of the Andes, a biodiverse region home to a wide-range of species found no-where else. Dubbed the olinguito (Bassaricyon neblina), the new mammal is a member of a little-known, elusive group of mammals—olingos—that are related to raccoons, coatis, and kinkajous. However, according to its description in the journal Zookeys, the olinguito is the most distinct member of its group, separated from other olingos by 3-4 million years (or longer than Homo sapiens have walked the Earth).
China's growing wine industry threatening pandas and other endangered species
(08/14/2013) In 1985, Li Hua visited a valley in the foothills of the Tibetan plateau. The area was better known for its panda population, but the oenologist realized that its high altitude, hours of sunshine, sandy soil and low precipitation also offered ideal conditions for growing grapes.
Little NGO takes on goliath task: conserving the vanishing ecosystems of Paraguay
(08/12/2013) Landlocked in the navel of South America, the forests, wetlands and savannahs of Paraguay boast rich biodiversity and endemic species, yet the unique landscapes of Paraguay also face increasing threats, primarily from agricultural expansion. Controlled burns and clear cutting have become common practice as wildlands are converted for soy and cattle production. In some areas this land conversion is rapid: the Paraguayan Chaco, for instance, is being lost at a rate of 10% per year. One organization is working to reverse this trend. Para La Tierra (PLT) is a small NGO dedicated to the conservation of threatened habitats in Paraguay. Located on the Reserva Natural Laguna Blanca, in-between two of South America's most threatened habitats: the Atlantic Forest and the vast topical savannah known as the cerrado, PLT is in a unique position to champion conservation.
Florida declares two butterfly species extinct as pollinator crisis worsens
(08/01/2013) Conservationist's faced a crushing blow last month as two butterfly species native to Florida were declared extinct. 'Occasionally, these types of butterflies disappear for long periods of time but are rediscovered in another location,' said Larry Williams, U.S. Fish and Wildlife state supervisor for ecological services. We think it's apparent now these two species are extinct.'
Habitat loss and pesticides causing decline in Europe's butterflies
(07/31/2013) Europe's grassland butterfly population has plummeted in the past two decades, new research published on Tuesday shows, with a near halving in the numbers of key species since 1990.
Illegal marijuana cultivation threatens Nigeria's forests and chimps
(07/26/2013) The world's highest deforestation rate, the execution of eight environmental activists including a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, and ongoing turmoil surrounding oil operations in the Niger River Delta has created a notoriously disreputable environmental record for the West African country. Now, a new threat is rising in the already-compromised forests of Nigeria: illegal marijuana cultivation.
Booming cashmere trade eating up habitat for snow leopards, saiga, and wild yak
(07/25/2013) Snow leopards, wild yaks and other iconic wildlife on the world's highest mountains and great steppes are becoming "fashion victims" of the surging global trade in cashmere, new research has revealed. Scientists found wildlife being driven to the margins of survival by the "striking but unintended consequences" of huge increases in the numbers of the goats producing the luxurious lightweight wool.
Dominican Republic sends bulldozers to destroy wildlife reserve, home to endangered species
(07/23/2013) Last Wednesday, bulldozers entered the Loma Charco Azul Biological Reserve (LCABR) in the Dominican Republic and began clearing vegetation for agricultural development. The move stunned local conservationists who had not been notified ahead of time of the project. Although Charco Azul Biological Reserve is home to a wealth of threatened species—including the world's largest population of the Critically Endangered Ricordi's iguana (Cyclura ricordi)—the destruction of the reserve was signed off by the Dominican Republic's Minister of the Environment, Bautista Rojas Gómez.
The neglected giraffe: world's tallest animal in need of conservation assistance
(06/27/2013) Just two year's before his assassination, Julius Caesar brought to Rome one of the world's most astonishing living creatures: a giraffe. The animal was among Caesar's spoils from his campaign in Egypt and according to the Roman writer, Dio, the giraffe, which was arguably the first to ever touch European soil, was paraded in the Circus for all to see. Today, over two thousand years later, the giraffe has become one of the world's most recognizable animals: after all nothing looks quite like it with its spotted coat, tufted horns, and, most importantly, that impossibly long neck. But less commonly known is that the giraffe is in trouble with some subspecies down to just a few hundred individuals.
Seabirds face big problems as sea levels rise
(06/19/2013) Migratory shorebird populations are at great risk from rising sea levels due to global climate change, warns a recent paper in Proceedings of the Royal Society B. These birds play an important role in the distribution of nutrients within wetland and coastal ecosystems, and their loss could have unknown consequences for the rest of the world.

- CJPKDined on 11/21/2014The menu was clearly designed to look impressive but not for taste. This is so true of many restaurants these days. The flavors, textures and dishes just did not work. From appetizers to desert it was the same thing. Sometimes different and unique flavors really work. They surprise and delight. But one should never compromise taste for novelty. That was what happened at 80 Thoreau. The carrot and parsnip cake tasted akin to a pumpkin quick bread. The fried parsnip "curls" on the top were too savory for the dish and were clearly put there only for presentation as they added no flavor to the dish. Imagine potato chips on your cake. The maple ice cream was lovely, but I felt like I was eating ice-cream on top of my neighbors pumpkin bread. The quail was....well whole quail. This should almost never be served in a restaurant. They were whole. They were a bit dry, and they were very difficult to eat. The breast meat was tough, the leg and thigh meet were nearly impossible to get to without picking it up with your fingers. The stuffing was delicious, but not worth the entire dish. Message to the chef: By all means experiment with new and novel flavor combinations, but classics are just that for a reason. You would do betters to serve some very well executed classics then try something just for the sake of novelty. Not all experiments hit a home run.
- Great for a special night!OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/21/2014Just lovely in every way. Every bite was delicious ( lobster gnocchi, quail, lamb, hazelnut tart) and the service was without question the best we've experienced, compared to other high- end boston area restaurants. All around terrific night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 80 Thoreau is Excellentmmaynard119Dined on 11/20/201480 Thoreau is one of the best dining spots in all of Metrowest Boston.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The best local restaurant in the areaNellVIPDined on 11/19/2014I have dined at 80 Thoreau several times and have never been disappointed. Diners can be assured that everything on the menu is prepared with skill and care and looks beautiful on the plate. It is pricey so, for most, it is a place to go for special occasions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- birthday dinnertallprofDined on 11/15/2014We were seated immediately (a few minutes ahead of our reservation). The food and service were excellent. We were seated by the windows. It was a cold night, so the seats were cold. The shape of the ceiling above us reflected the noise from the three people next to us talking constantly in loud voices. We could hardly carry on a coversation ourselves. If we go again, we will ask to be seated at the far end in the middle of the room.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still a classicLuciusDined on 11/15/2014The food and drinks are consistently terrific but the thing that makes 80 Thoreau stand out is the staff. They have to be one of the best bunch of pros I have seen outside of Manhattan. Knowledgable and friendly, they work together with precision and the end result is a wonderful dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- consistently solid on all frontsHoboVIPDined on 11/13/2014Service is warm and accommodating. Dinner in the bar area is very comfortable and relaxing. And the food itself is consistently good, with usually a standout dish or two. This time my favorite course was the apple sorbet. So perfect for late fall. A great place to dine for a special occasion or just to perk up your week.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TerrificOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/13/201480 Thoreau met and then exceeded our expectations. Thursday night is "date night " for my husband and me, and we decided to go somewhere new. I'm happy that we made that decision. We had the beet salad and lobster gnocchi to start, and they were both superb. I'd originally wanted the pumpkin soup, but I'm allergic to pears and apples. Our server was diligent in inquiring about my allergies and then in ensuring that I not be exposed. I had the swordfish as my main course, and my husband had the chicken. They were both simply yet deliciously prepared. We had the flourless chocolate cake for dessert, with a complimentary serving of corn ice cream. Both were delicious, as was the decaffeinated coffee. Both of the restaurant's owners were on site and both visited tables, often serving or clearing as well. We will return happily to 80 Thoreau and will recommend it to all of our friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always the best!OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/12/2014We had the heritage pork specials and were delighted with the presentation and flavor. 80 Thoreau never ceases to amaze us with its high quality food and its friendly and highly talented staff. Every time we go there we are well-served and wind up not only enjoying the food but having a great time. It is our favorite local restaurant by far!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our favorite in the 'burbsMarianneTVIPDined on 11/12/201480 Thoreau quickly became our favorite restaurant in metro west as soon as it opened. We eat there fairly often; the service, drinks, wine and food are always excellent. I love the innovative way they use local, seasonal ingredients. My husband loves the chicken which has always been on the menu!! We appreciate the attention to detail, particularly with the service. It is very hard to find this level of service and care in the suburbs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- EMFADined on 11/12/2014The food was excellent, the atmosphere very good, the service friendly and helpful. Also lot of parking place around the restaurant. For a first time visitor, it is a pleasant surprise. They must make the entrance a little more prominent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- We went for our 25th AnniversaryOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/8/2014I let them know the occasion when I set the reservation. They had a corner table for us - and greeted us with Champagne! Great food, excellent drinks and wine. Wonderful place to have a special evening!Special Features:
- Great meal, service not so muchBiscodineDined on 11/7/2014Our food was amazing! And the ambience is okay but not cozy or anything if that is what you are looking for. Our waitress on the other hand was rude and totally flat line without a single smile. It made us uncomfortable. We told the host with the bow tie at least 2 times about her. So hopefully they can talk to her so others do not need to feel the same as we did.Special Features:
- As always a very good place to dineConcorDinerDined on 11/7/201480 Thoreau combines ambiance and excellent service with fine cuisine. The only downside is the limited offerings of their menu, which varies and may limit one's favored selections. On this occasion the appetizers and entrees were both excellent, but the desert selections were less than exciting. Still, a great place to dine.Special Features:
- 35th anniversaryJandJDined on 11/3/2014Over the years, there have been four different restaurants - all excellent - at this location. My wife and I went there on our first date, 35 years ago, when it was Cafe l'Orange. It then went through Different Drummer and Aigo's Bistro before becoming 80 Thoreau. We naturally went back to celebrate the 35th anniversary of that first date which, obviously, worked out very well! And so did out dining. We were greeted with two glasses of champagne (I had mentioned this anniversary in the special requests section of my Open Table reservation) and then the waitress guided us through the excellent menu. We've never been disappointed at 80 Thoreau, and look forward to many more anniversaries, special occasions and great dining experience there.Special Features:
- Always fantasticDaveDined on 11/3/2014My wife and I visit 80 Thoreau fairly often, as it is local for us. The menu varies as the local farms' foods do--always something new and interesting to try. The service is excellent, and their corn ice cream (yes, that's right!!) alone is worth making a trip to Concord for!Special Features:
- OUTSTANDINGSantadanDined on 11/3/2014The food, service and ambiance was more than we expected. Highly recommend this restaurant.Special Features:
- Delicious and Enjoyable!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/1/2014My husband and I returned to 80 Thoreau after several months while visiting from New York, and we had an absolutely fabulous dinner and overall experience. The fall menu is fun and delicious. As if the gnocchi aren't delicious enough on their own, they were paired with lobster and chanterelles for a near divine combination. My husband had the blue cheese custard and grilled & braised lamb and loved both, and I had the perfectly delicate & crispy hake. We were pleasantly surprised to find the bar and dining room buzzing despite our late 9 pm reservation, and must say that 80 Thoreau is one of the best of dining experiences we have had in a long time and rivals our favorites in New York. We will definitely be back next time we are in town!Special Features:
- incredible foodseleneDined on 11/1/2014From the first bite, you know you are in a superb restaurant. Complex and wonderful tastes. Interesting menu. 80 Thoreau is our favorite restaurant.

- Halloween dinner - delicious, entertaininglincolndinerDined on 10/31/2014We had a delightful dinner at 80 Thoreau on Halloween night with staff decked out in costumes. The service was attentive and the food was fabulous. We had the Smoked Bluefish Pate, Pumpkin soup, the swordfish entree, and flourless chocolate cake. All beautifully presented and wonderful statistics.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Wonderful experienceBostonTravelLadyVIPDined on 10/25/201480 Thoreau is a handsome restaurant with very attentive service from a team of staff members. We could only snag the 5:00 reservation but the place was also relaxed enough that we stayed over three and one half hours on a Saturday night while the restaurant was was not only full but very energized. I am vegetarian and asked the kitchen if they would prepare a vegetable plate not on the menu. I was very pleased with their flexibilty and results. My friend ordered the lamb and was equally happy. This is a well-run and well-experienced restaurant that I would highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- UnderwhelmedOverTheMoonDined on 10/24/2014First visit. Waited 30 minutes past our reservation time. Lively, nice ambience. Service was good once we were seated. Food appearance was better than the taste. First bites did not bring any dreamy sensations. Expected better for the price.Special Features:
- Remarkably consistentJoeBobVIPDined on 10/24/2014We live in the restaurant desert known as Concord. 80 is the only consistently good choice. Went there Friday night for the root vegetable menus. It was inventive, interesting, and the tastes were great. For the first time ever, we had a long delay in getting food. The owners were apologetic and provided more wine when our bottle ran out. Never disappointed.Special Features:
- 80 Thoreau, best in Metro WestCarolSDined on 10/23/2014Soups are always creative and delicious; some of the other choices are tasty but overpriced. Main courses are good with health conscious vegetables, however the food is served lukewarm which is a bit disappointing. Desserts are tasty, not especially creative and the portions are quite small. Glad to have 80 Thoreau for well prepared food in an area bereft of fine dining.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/22/2014My wife and I had the root vegetable tasting menu. Not sure why that description attracted us, but so glad it did. Four very creative courses where all ingredients worked well together. Everything was cooked perfectly, service was excellent, and we were treated to new dishes that we would never make at home. We will definitely return, and look forward to the next special tasting menu.Special Features:

- Good but not greatsavoryeaterVIPDined on 10/21/2014I'd read great reviews and looked forward to trying 80 Thoreau. The ingredients were good and the dishes were fine but not exciting. Flavors were a bit bland. My husband didn't like his pork tenderloin. Nothing wrong with the pork, but nothing noteworthy about the dish, either. Sometimes restaurants seem to try hard to offer unusual food combinations and unexpected ingredients. That seemed true here, but the results were just ordinary.
- Wine ListAlanDined on 10/21/2014The wine list is not that good. We like Sauvignon Blancs and the best in the world are New Zealand Marlborough Region. They don't have any.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- 80 ThoreauLouiseDined on 10/18/2014We have eaten there many times but for some reason that evening there was a snag in the kitchen and service was really slow. I think our order was lost at one point. The owners were apologetic and I'm sure it was a one time event.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect!JMHBDined on 10/11/2014My husband and I were celebrating our 25th anniversary and were greeted with glasses of champagne as soon as we were seated! The food and drinks were exceptional and the timing of the service was perfect. Our waiter was pleasant and attentive but did not linger...just like we like it! We were so happy we had chosen 80 Thoreau for our special night. Thanks for being part of our celebration.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Out of this world GnocchiAk3487Dined on 10/6/2014I had gnocchi with shrimp and chanterelles, followed by pan-roasted duck with celeriac and kale. Both were excellent, but the gnocchi are simply spectacular: light, airy, so totally different from the usual gluey lumps. Highly recommended!Special Features:
- Suburban Gem!BigTastyDined on 10/4/2014Birthday celebration for my wife which I had noted to them prior to arriving, and they provided a great celebration! We enjoyed ourselves and the outstanding food - very fresh! We started with appetizers. Succulent heirloom tomatoes, lobster gnocchi, and smoked salmon pate. All were wonderful. My wife enjoyed the bluefish for her main entree and shared some of my dish. I usually don't get chicken out at a nice restaurant. Waiter suggested it. He had noted it was on the menu since opening and a house specialty. Guidance was spot on! Fantastic meal! Best chicken I have ever had. We will be back!Special Features:

Her Moment
Well, we all remember that cringe-worthy moment at the 2009 VMA's where Kanye West stormed the stage and didn't allow Taylor Swift to complete her acceptance speech because, according to him, Beyoncé had the "best video of all time." Needless to say, Taylor was speechless and embarrassed, but when Beyoncé won an award later on in the show, she invited Taylor up to have her moment. Talk about a class act!

43-year-old quarterback Jamie Davis has helped the Virginia Silverbacks semi-pro football team get off to a 3-0 start this season.
Davis is a Charlottesville High School alum who has played professionally in Switzerland and Spain. This past Saturday, Davis threw for three touchdowns in the Silverbacks' 24-6 win over Fredericksburg.
Davis says he didn't think he would still be playing football at age 43, but the opportunity to play in front of family and friends was one he couldn't pass up.
"Two years ago, I retired from semi-pro (football)," said Davis. "But once we got this team together, I said I want to play one more year because it's here at home."
Davis and the Silverbacks will look to stay undefeated when they hit the road to take on the Richmond Ravens July 30th. The Silverbacks will return home on August 20th for a game with the Virginia Steelers.
The Silverbacks play all home games at Monticello High School. Tickets are $10. Find out more information about the team on its Facebook page.
Remaining 2011 Schedule
July 30 - @Richmond Ravens
August 6 - @Northern Neck Rivermen
August 13 - @Fredericksburg Falcons
August 20 - Virginia Steelers
August 27 - D.C. Falcons

Smith, Jacqui, Lindsay H. Ryan, and Christina Roecke. 2013. "The Day-to-Day Effects of Conscientiousness on Well-Being." Research in Human Development, 10(1): 9-25.
Young and older adults reported their daily perceived control and subjective well-being over nine weeks. Trait conscientiousness (C) was positively associated with mean daily life satisfaction and positive affect, greater fluctuation in perceived control (state-level C), and also modified the daily associations between control and negative affect. The negative covariation between perceived control and negative affect was stronger for people lower in trait C. Age cohort predicted daily affective well-being but did not interact with C. Findings are discussed in the context of proposals for a multilevel structural and process approach to personality and its application to different life phases.

Global CCS Institute, based in Canberra, Australia, provided $4 million to support the initial engineering and characterization phase of AEP's commercial-scale installation of a CCS system using Alstom's chilled ammonia process to capture at least 90 percent of the carbon dioxide from 235 MW of Mountaineer's 1,300 MW of capacity. The captured CO2, approximately 1.5 million metric tons per year, will be treated and compressed, then injected into suitable geologic formations for permanent storage approximately 1.5 miles below the surface. The system is expected to begin commercial operation in 2015.

He was a very pleasant travelling companion, a very friendly and polite chap who had no difficulty relaxing into calling me by name. That was very nice.

Day 4
Yesterday we kept things cool, so today we wanted to heat things up with a desert Safar! To start off our day we had a full meal and then took a rout that most of the locals venture off into. Sugested to take a taxi, we refuted and headed to the subway aka Metro. Once in the subway i had funny flasbacks of my sister Razilee barley missing the subway in London and laughed to myself. Reaching our stop we headed by foot through the time machine of Dubai ...
Dubai Business Lounge to Sydney
... so we laid out flat and wiggled our toes. We snoozed a bit, slept a bit and bounced up and down due to turbulence an awful lot.
We enjoyed a good walk at Dubai and a train ride to the other end of the terminal. Now we are waiting in the Business Lounge to board our A380.....
...I had to pack away really quickly just then as we were called to board. ...
Surveying Arab wealth... (en/pl)
... and landing at Dubai.
Dubai Airport - no surprises really. Singapore was more impressive, but more related to the extreme cleanliness than anything else. Dubai is clearly a transit zone and the Arab wealth is visible in the architecture, internal water features (which Lucy compared to the Silesia Shopping Centre in Katowice!) and expensive retail brands. I was quite surprised to see a Boots Chemist here, although not selling the wide array of British goods sadly. ...
