Cliff's Notes: Turner Gill press conference, 9/7/10
"Actions speak a lot louder than words!" Last Saturday was a day of statements as far as the Big XII North was concerned as four of its teams previously were rejected for consideration for admission by the Pac Ten & Big Ten leagues. KSU & Missouri both proved they could play and beat Pac Ten & Big Ten Teams. KU on the other hand proved they could beat very few teams, including North Dakota State, and that they are an total embarrassment to everyone in the Big XII's Northern Division. Coach Gill now needs to show the football world his KU team is more than a very poor joke.

KU athletes tie school's GPA record
If you haven't played NCAA Sports you have no idea of time and effort it takes. Every effort should be made to congratulate and encourage these athletics. I do wonder how this grade point average compares to the overall student body.

Departures of Mangino, Fambrough comparable
I respected Mangino as a coach. However Mangino's persona and style of coaching were very different from Coach Fambrough's. Don Fambrough was a tremendously compassionate coach both on and off the field! His interaction with "all" his players was beyond reproach. The players he coached loved him and would have laid down their lives for him. Mr. Woodling is right, Coach is a living legend. If you get a chance thank him for dedicating his life to KU.

KU football players release letter to fans
I am pleased these players have expressed their view. For now I think Mr. Perkins should be left alone to concentrate on the selection our next football coach. After the coach is hired the University might need to conduct a comprehensive review of Mr. Perkins performance and the activities that have taken place within "his" athletic department. Necessary actions if any need to be taken. Then troubles need to be set aside and everyone should move forward with a focus on the positive.

Nutt so fast: Ole Miss coach staying put
Ole Miss Coach Houston Nutt would be a lateral move for KU. There are better coaches out there.

Uncertain futures: Recruiting challenges mounting for interim coaches
In sports when one multimillionaire AD, Perkins, fires another multimillionaire, Coach, Mangino, it makes sports news. I am not judging that getting rid of Mangino was either good or bad. However the timing of Perkins announcement of the "Mangino Investigation" was absolutely terrible! Perkins based on his reputation should have known better. I am not judging that getting rid of Mangino was either good or bad. Both of these men have been paid very well! Mangino & Perkins have both become rich. I am however concerned about our Kansas University Football program. What I am most concerned about are the players. Once a letter of intent is signed the school or rather the athletic department they own until you are no longer on the team. Many of our football players will have nothing left of this football season but bad memories. An athletic scholarship is not an easy "full ride"! The hours spent preparing and playing the game of football are countless. If the athletes were paid by the hour based on the price tag of their education their pay would be less than the minimum wage. The school and athletic department owe them more than just a scholarship. Without the players there would be no team. As of today the players and the team are in a very bad situation. The decisions made in the next few days will determine what will happen for the next decade. Let us hope Perkins, this time, will make the right decisions. I for one don't want our football team to face mediocrity or worse.

Business owners wrestle over land near Lecompton
This land has one of the most incredible views of the Kansas River valley that I have ever seen! This beautiful land should not be violated. It should be preserved in its natural state If it is developed into an industrial area it would rank above the destruction of the Elkins Prairie.

The end of an era: Mangino out at Kansas
Millions can be donated to the Kansas Athletic Department. But Perkins has shown that money can not buy respectability!

The end of an era: Mangino out at Kansas
Call it what you may; the KU football Program has been shafted by Perkins! The negative way this came about will be used against the KU Football Program for year to come. This incident has and will cost the University of Kansas a great deal more than money!

Interestingly, a new twist on an alternative revenue generator has emerged: the democratized digital tip jar. Sites like Wikipedia have employed an online tip jar for years in the form of regular requests for donations from its users via PayPal, credit/debit cards, and other payment methods. But now a major player in the digital donations space-Flattr-is partnering with AdBlock Plus to offer Flattr Plus, a browser extension/app that enables users to remove online ads from sites they visit while also contributing a monthly payment in an amount they choose that will be distributed proportionally to publishers of the sites they surf.

Telestream has announced the successful deployment of its FlipFactory transcoding automation technology for the ARKive endangered species project. When the ARKive online library launched in Bristol, UK on May 20, 2003, Telestream's FlipFactory software was working behind the scenes converting video and audio into streaming formats for global access by Web audiences. ARKive is an initiative of The Wildscreen Trust, whose mission is to promote the conservation of nature through natural history imagery. ARKive has been developed to gather and conserve important sounds and images of endangered species before they, like the species they depict, are lost forever. The project uses technology to provide more than just an on-line reference library. The free website at www.arkive.org allows users to access a vault containing wildlife films, photographs, sound recordings, facts, and memories for audiences ranging from students to educators and scientists. Hewlett-Packard Laboratories Europe, in Bristol, UK, a, ARKive backer, is the project's chief technology architect. HP has contributed hardware, software, and technical services to develop ARKive's complex technical infrastructure. FlipFactory is also used to insert visible watermarks and logos for copyright protection. Telestream UK distributor, Boxer Systems Ltd., supplied FlipFactory to HP Labs and The Wildscreen Trust. The heart of ARKive is a vast Digital Media Vault where all the high-resolution ARKive assets are stored for posterity. This vault provides 74 Terabytes of data storage, linked to an optical network running at 2Gbps, that can be accessed and turned into dynamic Web pages. The Accessions Systems was designed and developed by HP Labs to capture and catalog the images and recordings. It is based around a Microsoft SQL Server, Exchange and Windows 2000. The ARKive Web site is organized into three subsites. Each site repurposes ARKive's core information for different user groups: adults, children, and educators. The Web sites are Java-based, hosted on Linus, and co-located at the University of the West of England.

|Not a bad course for $9.50. Only 3 holes which are good for long drives. The rest of the holes are good for your short irons. Great course to get some practice in, constant movement of the tee boxes and pin placement keep things interesting with certain placement of tree's. Greens need a good fixin' but you cant expect too much for under 10 dollar play.

Bus shelter idea revisited
Relevant offers
A bus shelter rejected by the former North Shore City Council because it would be hazardous to traffic is back on the agenda.
Auckland Transport is proposing to put in a 4.6 square-metre bus shelter at 187 Bayswater Ave.
Tom Wong-Kam has lived next door for 48 years and says he is concerned that when he's driving the bus shelter will obscure his vision of children who shoot past his property on scooters and bikes.
Auckland Transport says the shelter will be 1.5m from 185 Bayswater Ave - Mr Wong-Kam's driveway.
In 2004 a bus shelter for the same spot was mooted, Mr Wong-Kam says.
It was rejected by a North Shore council traffic engineer because of the "impact on pedestrians using the footpath and on drivers exiting the adjacent property".
Ten years later, Mr Wong-Kam has been asked to make a submission about the proposed bus shelter - again.
He says a shelter is is needed in winter but the spot is wrong.
Further down, towards Bayswater Primary School's sports fields, would be more appropriate, he says.
The shelter is still being reviewed, with feedback from Devonport-Takapuna Local Board due mid-March.
The board requested the shelter last term, Auckland Transport says. Despite paperwork supplied by affected residents which documents safety concerns with the 2004 proposal, "there are no plans showing what the actual shelter location was".
"Consequently, Auckland Transport cannot comment on the similarities or differences between the two proposals," spokesman Mark Hannan says.
"The stop is well-located to provide a connection point between bus passengers transferring from Lake Rd services to bus services that connect to the Bayswater ferry, because it is only a short distance for them to walk."
If the stop was located further towards the school it would be too close to the next bus stop.
Auckland Transport's traffic engineers say the shelter would be in a safe and appropriate location.
It will not obstruct visibility "because the end of the driveway . . . is more than 2m in front of the proposed shelter".

tag:www.worldwildlife.org,2005:/press-releases World Wildlife Fund Press Releases The latest press releases from the World Wildlife Fund, the world's leading conservation organization. Copyright 2016 http://worldwildlife.org/assets/structure/unique/logo.png 2016-06-24T00:00:00-04:00 WWFPressReleaseshttps://feedburner.google.com tag:www.worldwildlife.org,2005:PressRelease/1412 2016-06-24T00:00:00-04:00 2016-06-24T00:00:00-04:00 WWF Study: Ivory Trade in Hong Kong Could be Banned Within Two Years, while Government Proposes a Closure by 2021
Just days after the Hong Kong government published its draft five-year timetable to end the domestic ivory trade, WWF today published a legal research report confirming that an ivory ban could be put in place within two years under current Hong Kong law.

Commissioned by WWF and conducted by Hong Kong barrister Tim Parker and international consultancy Global Rights Compliance LLP, the Feasibility Study on the Ban of Hong Kong's Ivory Trade concludes that the government could within 6 months halt the practice of issuing new licenses to sell ivory and follow this with legislation to end the trade completely by 2018 – earlier than the government's proposal to outlaw the trade by 2021

"WWF welcomes the government's draft timetable but we believe that an ivory ban in Hong Kong could be legally enacted sooner," said Gavin Edwards, Conservation Director at WWF Hong Kong. "WWF understands that the government's 'five year plan' has been adjusted out of concern for ivory traders and legislatures and that a rushed legislative plan could risk backfiring, while our legal analysis shows that it can be completed within two years."

Apart from the speed of the legislative process, WWF's legal analysis is largely consistent with the government's draft proposal and agrees with the key principle that the authorities do not need to compensate ivory traders for their remaining stocks – finding that the proposed ban does not infringe the "right to compensation for lawful deprivation of…property" as protected by Article 105 of the Basic Law of the Hong Kong SAR.

Traders who chose to speculate over the past 26 years ago – since the international ivory trade started to come under regulation in 1976 and was banned in 1990 – by buying up elephant ivory on the grounds that it was a good investment have no legal grounds to claim compensation. Worse, it may even create a perverse incentive to smuggle ivory into Hong Kong to try and 'cash in' on any compensation scheme, thus creating further challenges for Hong Kong customs authorities.

Back in 1990 when the ban on international ivory trade came into force, the Hong Kong government successfully re-trained hundreds of ivory carvers and workers. One of Hong Kong's ex-ivory crafters "Uncle Lee", explains that "there are barely any ivory crafters left in Hong Kong". Mr Lee was a full-time ivory carver in the 1970s who exited the profession in the 1990s. The authorities should explore suitable assistance measures for the few remaining ivory carvers who might be affected by the proposed ban.

"The Hong Kong government has listened to the people and legislators of the city who both want the ivory trade banned, and we hope this legal analysis will encourage them to speed up the process," said Cheryl Lo, Senior Wildlife Crime Officer at WWF Hong Kong. "We are also encouraged by the government's plan to increase penalties in future for the illegal sale and trafficking of ivory, but with around 30,000 African elephants being poached each year for their tusks there is no time to lose."

The publication of the proposed timetable follows the announcement by Hong Kong Chief Executive CY Leung in January to "take steps to ban totally the sale of ivory". The decision followed the release of a major WWF report entitled The Hard Truth, which revealed fundamental weaknesses in the regulation of Hong Kong's ivory market, as well as an ivory ban campaign that was backed by over 90,000 Hong Kongers and members of the Legislative Council.

The announcement also comes just a month after the US government issued new regulations to impose a near-complete ban on its domestic ivory trade. The Chinese government is also planning to announce a timetable before the end of 2016 to close its ivory market.

In response to a new zero deforestation sustainability policy from Michelin, a global tire maker headquartered in France, WWF issued the following statement from Jean Bakouma, Head of the Forest Program at WWF-France.

"WWF commends Michelin for developing the first major global policy for sustainable natural rubber. As the world's largest buyer of natural rubber, Michelin's policy, which was developed in partnership with WWF-France, will, when implemented, help address one of the leading causes of deforestation in Southeast Asia, the source of most of the world's natural rubber. Rubber has been a major driver of deforestation in the Mekong region over the last few years, especially after global prices peaked around 2011.

"More generally, WWF and Michelin decided to address that threat and, in 2015, began collaborating to eliminate deforestation from global rubber production.

"Michelin's policy focuses on eliminating deforestation and addresses human and labor rights, supply chain transparency, community farm development and tire efficiency. The company has begun tracing its whole supply chain and advising its suppliers of natural rubber to get in compliance with its new policy. An important first step to making natural rubber production sustainable is to develop responsibly-managed plantations on degraded land with full consent by tenure-holding local communities, instead of grabbing land and clearing high quality natural forests.

"WWF urges the world's biggest users of natural rubber, tire manufacturers, car makers and vehicle fleet operators to procure deforestation free and ethically produced natural rubber and tires."

For 10 days in April, Apple and 24 developers worked together to launch Apps for Earth, a global campaign to help the planet, one app at a time. Through interactive and educational content created exclusively for Apps for Earth, the campaign gave participants an opportunity to actively engage in conservation and contribute to WWF's mission.

With 100% of the proceeds from participating apps and In-App Purchases going to support WWF's conservation work, Apps for Earth raised awareness among hundreds of millions of people and generated more than $8 million in total proceeds. In response to the campaign's achievements, WWF issued the following statement from Carter Roberts, president and CEO:

"Apps for Earth proved small actions really can equal big change. This campaign boosts our efforts to protect the world's forests, oceans, fresh water and wildlife, and combat the dual threats of climate change and unsustainable food production.

"Our work rests on engaging hundreds of millions around the world - to understand our profound reliance on the Earth and to act to protect the natural world that supports all of us.

"I was blown away by the devotion that Apple and the 24 developers brought to this campaign. Their creativity and heroic effort brought our mission and our work into people's lives at an enormous scale. It is our hope that Apps for Earth has left a permanent mark on everyone who participated and inspires a new wave of conservationists."

In response to new domestic ivory trade regulations finalized today by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), World Wildlife Fund (WWF) issued the following statement from Ginette Hemley, senior vice president of wildlife conservation:

"The United States is setting the bar in the global effort to stop wildlife crime.

"Strong ivory laws here in the US help protect elephants globally. By implementing a near complete ban on commercial ivory trade, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just made it much harder for criminals to use the US to launder illegal ivory.

"Elephants are among the hardest-hit victims of a global poaching epidemic that is emptying the world's forests, savannas, rivers, and oceans of precious wildlife. As many as 30,000 elephants are killed each year across Africa to feed a lucrative, global black market for ivory. This trade threatens the survival of entire elephant populations, endangers the lives and livelihoods of local communities, and finances criminal syndicates that undermine national and regional security.

"The Obama administration has made it clear that the US will not tolerate this senseless slaughter. We urge the administration to continue working with China, Thailand, and other consumer countries to close ivory markets and make desire for elephant ivory a thing of the past."

 Elizabeth Davis firstname.lastname@example.com http://www.worldwildlife.org/press-releases/wwf-statement-on-new-usfws-ivory-regulations tag:www.worldwildlife.org,2005:PressRelease/1407 2016-06-01T00:00:00-04:00 2016-06-01T00:00:00-04:00 World Heritage Site in Tanzania Risks Losing Elephants, UNESCO Status if Rampant Poaching isn't Addressed
Ivory poaching syndicates have reduced the elephant population in Tanzania's largest protected area by 90 percent in fewer than 40 years, a threat that has also put at risk local livelihoods and the World Heritage Site status of one of Africa's oldest wildlife reserves.

Selous Game Reserve, named a World Heritage Site in 1982, was home to one of the greatest concentrations of African elephants on the continent. Nearly 110,000 elephants once roamed the savannas, wetlands and forests of Selous, but now only about 15,000 remain in the ecosystem, according to a new World Wildlife Fund (WWF) report.

Saving Selous: African Icon Under Threat, produced for WWF by Dalberg Global Development Advisors, shows how the complete loss of Selous' elephants would damage Tanzania's nature-based economy, putting the livelihoods of local communities in the area at risk. Travel and tourism in Selous generate US$6 million annually, and the industry represents a combined yearly contribution of US$5 billion to the GDP of Tanzania, home to world-renowned assets such as Mount Kilimanjaro and Serengeti National Park.

"Selous is the one of the largest wilderness areas left in Africa. Its value to Tanzania – and indeed to the rest of the world – is dependent on its large wildlife populations and pristine ecosystems," said WWF-Tanzania Country Director Amani Ngusaru.

In 2014, UNESCO placed Selous on its List of World Heritage in Danger due to the severity of elephant poaching. At the recent peak of the crisis, an average of six Selous elephants were being gunned down by criminal syndicates each day. Tanzania is preparing an emergency action plan to address the poaching threat.

"Selous has been ground zero for elephant poaching for far too long," said Bas Huijbregts, Manager, African Species Conservation, WWF-US. "It is imperative that Selous rangers and village game scouts in the surrounding wildlife management areas are properly trained and equipped; the judiciary system is strengthened leading to arrests and prosecution of wildlife criminals, and incentives are created for communities to protect their wildlife."

UNESCO also has expressed concerns about other potentially harmful industrial activities threatening the reserve, such as mining, oil and gas exploration, and dam construction. Selous' status will be on the global agenda again at the annual meeting of the World Heritage Committee next month.

In order for Selous to be removed from UNESCO's In Danger list, WWF is calling for greater efforts in combatting wildlife crime, an assessment of the impacts of proposed industrial activities, investment in sustainable tourism infrastructure, and an equitable distribution of benefits to nearby communities.

"Achieving zero elephant poaching is the first step to setting Selous on a path toward fulfilling its sustainable development potential. Together, we must ensure that this natural treasure is protected from harm," Ngusaru said.

Discovery Channel announced a new family-friendly series from some of today's hottest recording artists; it was announced today by Rich Ross, Group President of Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, and Science Channel.

Presented in association with World Wildlife Fund (WWF), HELLO WORLD! is a six-part series taking a look at the wonders of the natural world through the eyes of some of today's most celebrated musicians. The series brings out the universal themes of the artists' music by using it as a soundtrack for the stories of animals in the wild. HELLO WORLD! debuts Saturday, July 9 with two back-to-back episodes for three weeks. The series is produced by RadicalMedia on behalf of Discovery Channel.

"It's a thrill to have six Grammy®-winning or -nominated artists working on HELLO WORLD!" says Ross. "All of these artists bring a powerful love for wildlife and the environment, and we cannot wait to share these films with families across the world."

HELLO WORLD! takes viewers deep into the environments of animals as varied as sea turtles, jumping spiders, rhinos, and hawks as they live their daily lives. Whether they are searching for water, looking for love, or caring for their families, these animals all have a singular way of surviving. Each episode features the artist's vibrant storytelling and one of their well-known songs, as well as a lush musical score.

Episodes Include:

• It's a big, tough world out there, where animals face harsh environments and voracious predators. Usher's new track "Stronger," also the title of the episode, provides the backdrop as the sea turtle and red fox demonstrate how adversity only makes them more resilient.

• In "Crazy Love," Goulding uncovers the amazing (and hilarious) lengths some animals go to to attract a mate. Her hit, "Something in the Way You Move," sets the mood for animals as diverse as polar bears and garter snakes.

• Just about every animal needs water. Yet each creature's search for it is unique. With "Save Me," Matthews follows the stories of three very different species—rhinos, spadefoot toads, and manatees—as they search for the fresh water on which all life on Earth depends.

• A mother's love is something so fierce that anyone who gets in her way better beware. In "Don't Mess with Mama," Aguilera uses "Light up the Sky," to showcase the strategies of such strong maternal caregivers as a mountain goat and a cheetah, as each protects her young.

• Tyler's recently released country song "RED, WHITE & YOU," is a perfect backdrop to "Summer Wild." This episode shows how several North American critters–prairie dogs, hawks, and wild mustangs—like to spend their summer vacation.

• Our favorite bad girl, Jett, highlights the stories of many of the creatures we love to hate. Featuring wolves, alligators, and sharks, "Bad Reputation," featuring the hit song of the same name, makes the case that for all the fear they put into the world, these guys might just be getting a bad rap. And more than that, they each are really a crucial part of their native ecosystem.

"Not many people may know of my strong affinity for animals and nature," comments Grammy®-winning artist Usher. "HELLO WORLD! gave me an opportunity to not only look cool to my boys, but also help introduce a new and modern way of learning about the world and the animals living within it."

"I was thrilled when I was asked to come aboard to be part of HELLO WORLD as I had never done voiceover work prior and the experience was amazing!" says Grammy®-winning artist Aguilera. "Discovery does such great work in educating people in an entertaining way and I know I will enjoy watching the series with my kids."

Comments Grammy-nominated artist Joan Jett, "It is important for us to learn about misunderstood animals and how they affect the ecosystem and support human life."
"Discovery's HELLO WORLD! provides a compelling new platform to engage people about wildlife and wild places," said Terry Macko, senior vice president of communications and marketing at WWF. "As we're faced daily with news and information about the declining state of our natural world, this series brings a hopeful message that bridges generations to inspire conservationists of any age."

"The wonders of our planet never cease to amaze and there's no better way to capture the joy, drama, fear and love all species experience than with our oldest form of storytelling, music," comments John Hoffman, EVP of Documentaries and Specials, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, and Science Channel. "We're blown away by how these great artists' music and voices lend themselves to telling stories of the natural world and by their commitment to WWF and animal conservation."

HELLO WORLD! is produced by Discovery in association with RadicalMedia. The series is a co-presentation with WWF. Christina Aguilera, Ellie Goulding, Joan Jett, Dave Matthews, Usher, and Steven Tyler each narrate one episode; executive producers, Joe Killian, Dave Sirulnick, Jon Kamen, Justin Wilkes; producer and director, Sara Enright; writer and supervising producer, Andy Yerkes; original score by Bill Sherman; music producer, Scott Seviour.

Battling a global poaching crisis, wildlife rangers believe they lack the necessary equipment, training and support from their governments to protect themselves and the world's threatened wildlife from poachers, according to a new WWF study released today at the World Ranger Congress in Colorado, USA.

Ranger Perceptions: Africa surveyed 570 rangers across 12 African countries and found that 82 percent had faced a life-threatening situation while on duty. But 59 percent felt they were insufficiently equipped and 42 percent felt they lacked sufficient training to do their jobs safely and effectively.

These results echo the findings of a similar survey of Asia's rangers, the majority of whom had also risked their lives in the line of duty and felt equally ill-equipped to perform their critical frontline tasks. Preliminary results from a third survey suggest that rangers in Latin America face similar challenges.

"Africa's rangers are doing an incredibly dangerous job with one hand tied behind their backs: putting their lives and the continent's wildlife at even greater risk," said Fredrick Kumah, WWF Africa Director. "Bravery is not enough: we must provide these heroic men and women – and their counterparts in Asia and Latin America – with the best available tools and training to give them the upper hand against the poachers."

Last year alone, around 30,000 elephants and a record 1,338 rhinos were killed in Africa, while countless other animals were poached and trafficked, feeding an illegal wildlife trade that is increasingly being driven by international organised crime. Scores of rangers are also injured or die each year, with six killed on duty in the Democratic Republic of Congo and India in the past two months.

"The growing influence of organised criminal networks means governments must rapidily professionalise their ranger force, but many seem quick to promise action but slow to provide the necessary investment," said Elisabeth McLellan, WWF Head, Wildlife Crime Initiative. "Poaching threatens communities and economies as well as species: investing in better equipment for rangers and the establishment of new training centres is a price worth paying."

In many cases, African rangers lack not only sufficient weapons and vehicles, but also more basic necessities like boots, shelter and clean water supplies. Across the continent, there are only a few specialised ranger training centres. But it is not just a question of better tools and training, rangers also deserve improved conditions of employment and greater recognition of their work.

The survey found that many African rangers have a poor work/life balance with 47 per cent seeing their families for just five to ten days a month, while rangers ranked low or irregular pay as one of the worst aspects of their job – findings that were also shared by rangers in Asia and Latin America.

A separate WWF ranger insurance study of 33 countries across the globe, which was also released at the World Ranger Congress today, found that rangers are often not adequately covered by insurance. Despite the dangers of their jobs, many rangers lack health insurance (18 percent of countries surveyed), life insurance (36 per cent) and long-term disability cover (45 per cent).

"It is critical that we have a well-supported, skilled and motivated ranger corps in order to reduce the risk to rangers and their families," said Chris Galliers, Chairman of the Game Rangers Association of Africa (GRAA). "We must invest in rangers by putting in place the right support systems as it is this investment that will secure our wild places and wildlife assets for all, forever."

In response to today's introduction of the Food Date Labeling Act of 2016 by Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-ME) and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), World Wildlife Fund (WWF) issued the following statement from Pete Pearson, director, food waste:

"In the US it's estimated that 30-40 percent of our food supply is lost or wasted. At the same time, the footprint of agriculture continues to expand, threatening the last remaining biodiverse regions on our planet; places like the native grasslands of the Northern Great Plains.

"When we waste food, we waste the land, water, and energy used to produce it. We need to conserve these vital resources to ensure future generations inherit a planet where food production and consumption exist in balance with nature. In this context, preventing food waste becomes one of the most impactful acts of conservation.

"The Food Date Labeling Act will help ensure more food reaches people who need it, it will help to heighten consumer awareness on food waste, and it will help consumers navigate confusing expiration dates so that we can all waste less and save more. This is a win-win for consumers and the environment."

 Audrey Payne firstname.lastname@example.com http://www.worldwildlife.org/press-releases/new-port-state-measures-agreement-support-boosts-efforts-to-end-illegal-fishing tag:www.worldwildlife.org,2005:PressRelease/1401 2016-05-13T00:00:00-04:00 2016-05-13T00:00:00-04:00 World's Smallest Porpoise Nears Extinction; Fishing Closure and International Action are Last Hope
MEXICO CITY – Mexican authorities must immediately and indefinitely close all fisheries within the habitat of Mexico's critically endangered vaquita porpoise – or we will lose the species forever.

The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources of Mexico, referring to data from the International Committee for the Recovery of the Vaquita (CIRVA), said on Friday that only around 60 vaquitas remained in the upper Gulf of California -- the only place the species exists -- as of December 2015. This is a nearly 40 per cent decline from the 97 vaquitas that remained in 2014.

"We can still save the vaquita, but this is our last chance," said Omar Vidal, CEO of WWF-Mexico. "The Mexican government must ban all fishing within the vaquita's habitat now and until the species shows signs of recovery. Anything else is just wishful thinking."

The vaquita is the world's smallest cetacean – the group of mammals that includes porpoises, dolphins and whales. It is also the world's most endangered marine mammal species.

The biggest threat to the vaquita is the use of fishing nets that inadvertently catch and drown them, most notably gillnets used to illegally catch the critically endangered totoaba fish. The totoaba's swim bladder is a highly-prized delicacy in Asia that follows an illegal trade route from Mexico, through the United States, to China.

"Despite all the best efforts, we are losing the battle to stop totoaba fishing and save the vaquita," said Vidal. "In addition to a fishing ban, Mexico, the United States, and China need to take urgent and coordinated action to stop the illegal fishing, trafficking and consumption of totoaba."

Having declined over 90 per cent in just 20 years, the vaquita continues to plummet toward extinction despite a two-year ban on gillnet fishing that began in May 2015, as well as surveillance efforts by Mexico's government, environmental authorities and military.

Millions of dollars have been spent compensating local fishermen for not fishing and to increase efforts to implement vaquita-safe fishing gear. Such equipment is critical to protecting the species and bringing sustainable livelihoods to impoverished fishing communities.

A surge in illegal totoaba fishing, undermining of compensation schemes and resistance to the use of the smart fishing gear are all contributing to the vaquita's demise and create the need for a fisheries closure with stringent, year-round enforcement.

"We are on the brink of driving the fifth marine mammal species to extinction in modern times," said Vidal. "For years, WWF has supported efforts to save the vaquita by working with the Mexican and US governments, local fishing communities, and other partners to implement sustainable fishing options. We will continue to do all we can to save this unique porpoise."

Fishermen affected by any closure must be compensated accordingly and efforts must continue to develop fishing gear to ensure that fishermen and their families can have a more sustainable way of life. Once the vaquita is shown to be on a path to recovery, and sustainable vaquita-safe fishing methods can be fully adopted and enforced, fisheries should be reopened only to vaquita-safe gear.

In response to commitments announced as part of the Peru's National Pact for Legal Wood, World Wildlife Fund (WWF) issued the following statement from Amy Smith, Manager, Wood Sector Engagement:

"Home to one of the world's most threatened forests, Peru's Pact is a powerful and innovative tool, driving the country towards a future where responsible forestry and trade is celebrated across the public and private sectors.

"From the sourcing to processing to trade of wood – today's commitments bring the Pact to life and will transform Peru's forest sector and make a significant impact on the health of Peru's forests."

In response to Kenya's destruction of more than 100 tons of elephant ivory and one and half tons of rhino horn today – the biggest ever event of its kind – World Wildlife Fund (WWF) issued the following statement from Ginette Hemley, senior vice president of Wildlife Conservation:

"Destroying such a vast stockpile of ivory and rhino horn sends a powerful signal that Kenya is committed to saving Africa's most iconic species. At the same time, it's a jarring reminder of the scale of the poaching epidemic that is emptying Africa's forests and savannahs of precious wildlife.

"This dramatic action indicates that Kenya will take every possible step to safeguard its elephants for future generations, and highlights that it is on the right track in the fight against wildlife crime. Even as poaching across Africa hovers near record levels, the number of elephants and rhinos illegally killed in Kenya dropped almost by half from 2014 to 2015.

"But much more needs to be done, both in the places these animals are being killed, as well as in those countries where wildlife products are in high demand. The US, China, and Hong Kong recently stepped up with commitments to eliminate their own domestic ivory markets. Now all eyes are on these demand countries to show increasing leadership in the global fight against the illegal killing and trafficking of wildlife.

"Ultimately, it is through unified commitment and collaboration that we will make the most progress toward ending wildlife crime. Only by together addressing the poaching, trafficking, and demand will we be able to secure a future for elephants, rhinos, and countless other species threatened by this scourge."

In response to today's remarks from Secretary of State John Kerry at the United Nations Signature Ceremony for the Paris Agreement, World Wildlife Fund (WWF) issued the following statement from Lou Leonard, vice president, climate change:

"Climate apathy is now officially in the rearview and the momentum from Paris remains strong. After today's signing ceremony, governments need to quickly take the last steps to bring the Paris Agreement into force and get down to business meeting and beating their commitments.

"Secretary Kerry importantly reminded us that leadership from governments, cities and companies is needed to realize the potential of the Paris Agreement. Increasing our reliance on clean energy and shifting investments away from dirty fossil fuels will put the US closer to a zero-carbon future. If we want to prevent the most significant effects of climate change, ramped-up efforts must start now, which means delivering on the Clean Power Plan, as over 100 US companies called for this week.

"For the Obama administration, that also means keeping their French sharp, but shifting attention from Paris to Montreal, where climate negotiators will meet in October to create a plan to cut emissions from international aviation, the fastest growing source of global emissions. In Montreal, the US can ensure the Paris momentum continues and help rally nations to forge another agreement that brings us closer to the zero-carbon path that both people and the planet need to prosper."

In response to a new study released today by WWF and eleven international and Indonesian NGOs, finding new risks associated with Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) mega-scale pulp mill project, World Wildlife Fund issued the following statement from Linda Walker, Director of Responsible Forestry and Trade:

"The study highlights a concern that APP could default on its 'zero deforestation' commitment and resume destroying rainforests. This would be yet another example of a broken promise in a long line of APP broken promises.

"For APP to build a new mega-mill in one of the 11 most threatened forest regions on the planet—where the sustainable supply of plantation fiber was already in question and where APP has been responsible for so much forest destruction—is disheartening to say the least. That's not the kind of leadership we want to see from Indonesia and China's largest pulp and paper producer.

"The move by APP would spell disaster for Sumatra's wildlife. Sumatra is the only place where tigers, orangutans, elephants and rhinos co-exist. The region has already had to deal with tremendous haze-related problems last year associated with devastating fires, including many on APP supplier concessions.

"As questions about APP's ability to meet its deforestation-free commitments continue, WWF encourages businesses and consumers to use their purchasing power to protect forests in Indonesia and beyond by looking for the Forest Stewardship Council label when buying paper and other forest products."

(New Delhi, India) -- The 3rd Asia Ministerial Conference on Tiger Conservation concluded today with tiger countries adopting the New Delhi Resolution on Tiger Conservation. The Resolution aligns tiger conservation and economic development, inspired by the inaugural speech of the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, who spoke of the need to see tiger landscapes as "natural capital".

"Guided by the Honourable Prime Minister's speech, this resolution is a positive game changer for conservation," said Mr. Ravi Singh, Secretary General and CEO, WWF-India. "Framing development policies and programs with a conservation lens can lead to a win-win situation for tigers and people."

The 13 tiger range countries committed to:

• Accelerate implementation of the Global and National Tiger Recovery Programmes
• Align economic development and tiger conservation
• Leverage global and national funding and technical support
• Recognise the value of tiger habitats for ecosystem services and climate change
• Emphasise recovery of tiger populations in areas with low tiger densities
• Strengthen co-operation at the highest levels of government
• Increase knowledge sharing and use of technology including smart tools

"I am happy with the commitment shown by the 13 tiger range countries," said Dr. Rajesh Gopal, Secretary General, Global Tiger Forum. "We look forward to working together in the new paradigm to double wild tiger numbers with renewed energy and resources."

The Minister for Environment, Forest & Climate Change for India, Mr. Prakash Javadekar, presided over the closing ceremony and spoke of the need for sustained efforts and mutual cooperation amongst tiger range countries.

The Resolution, which sets the pathway for the next six years of the Tx2 goal to double wild tiger numbers by 2022, builds on the former commitments of tiger range countries in Hua Hin, St. Petersburg, Thimphu and Dhaka. It also recognises the Global Tiger Forum and the Global Tiger Initiative Council as the coordinating bodies for the Tx2 goal over the next six years, formally taking over from the role previously held by the Global Tiger Initiative.

The Conference opened with news that global wild tiger numbers have increased for the first time from 3,200 in 2010 to 3,890. This updated minimum figure, compiled from IUCN data and the latest national tiger surveys, can be attributed to multiple factors including increases in tiger populations in India, Russia, Nepal and Bhutan, improved surveys and enhanced protection.

The National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) hosted this conference on behalf of the Government of India, in collaboration with the Global Tiger Forum (GTF), WWF and other partners.

(New Delhi, India) -- The number of wild tigers has been revised to 3,890, based on the best available data, said WWF and the Global Tiger Forum (GTF) ahead of a major tiger conservation meeting tomorrow in New Delhi to be opened by India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

This updated minimum figure, compiled from IUCN data and the latest national tiger surveys, indicates an increase on the 2010 estimate of 'as few as 3,200', and can be attributed to multiple factors including increases in tiger populations in India, Russia, Nepal and Bhutan, improved surveys and enhanced protection.

"For the first time after decades of constant decline, tiger numbers are on the rise. This offers us great hope and shows that we can save species and their habitats when governments, local communities and conservationists work together," said Marco Lambertini, Director General of WWF International.

The meeting of tiger range governments at the 3rd Asia Ministerial Conference on Tiger Conservation this week is the latest step in the Global Tiger Initiative process that began with the 2010 Tiger Summit in Russia. Governments at that meeting agreed to the Tx2 goal to double wild tiger numbers by 2022.

"This is a critical meeting taking place at the halfway point in the Tx2 goal," said Dr Rajesh Gopal, Secretary General, Global Tiger Forum. "Tiger governments will decide the next steps towards achieving this goal and ensuring wild tigers have a place in Asia's future."

Over the three day meeting, countries will report on their progress toward the Tx2 goal and commit to next steps. Prime Minister Modi will address the conference on the essential role tigers play as a symbol of a country's ecological well-being.

"A strong action plan for the next six years is vital," said Michael Baltzer, Leader of WWF Tx2 Tiger Initiative. "The global decline has been halted but there is still no safe place for tigers. Southeast Asia, in particular, is at imminent risk of losing its tigers if these governments do not take action immediately."

Tigers are classified as endangered by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, threatened by poaching and habitat loss. Statistics from TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network, show that a minimum of 1,590 tigers were seized by law enforcement officials between January 2000 and April 2014, feeding a multi-billion dollar illegal wildlife trade.

In order for countries to protect their tigers, it is essential that they know their tiger populations and the threats they face.

In 2014, tiger range governments agreed to announce a new global tiger estimate by 2016, based on full, systematic national surveys. However, not all countries have completed or published these surveys. The new minimum estimate of close to 3,900 tigers is based on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species account for tigers, updated for countries where national tiger surveys have taken place since the IUCN assessment.

WWF and the GTF commend the tiger range countries that have updated their population figures since 2010 and encourage the remaining countries to complete and publish their population surveys as soon as possible.

BACKGROUND
World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the Global Tiger Forum (GTF) announced today that the number of wild tigers has increased for the first time after more than 100 years of constant decline.

Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation (LDF) and WWF committed in 2010, along with partners around the globe and all 13 countries with wild tigers, to doubling the number of tigers in the wild by 2022.

WWF has been working to conserve tigers for more than 50 years, and currently works to protect tigers and their critical habitat across the 13 tiger range countries. LDF is among the most significant contributors to WWF's tiger conservation efforts, with $6.2 million committed since 2010.

STATEMENTS
"We've watched tigers decline for decades and have dreamed of bending that curve in the other direction," said Carter Roberts, president and CEO of World Wildlife Fund (WWF). "In a sea of bad news on the environment, we're now seeing an increase in the global wild tiger population for the first time in 100 years. This is a big deal. Together with the generous support of our partners like LDF and so many others, we are making significant progress on one of the greatest comeback stories in conservation.

"We see that leaders matter. Communities matter. And coalitions matter. Now is the moment to amplify these efforts and achieve our shared dream to double the wild tiger population by 2022."

///

"Tigers are some of the most vital and beloved animals on Earth," said Leonardo DiCaprio, LDF chairman and WWF board member. "With our partners at WWF, my Foundation has supported major efforts to double the number of tigers in the wild. In Nepal, our efforts have produced one of the greatest areas of progress in tiger conservation, which is helping drive this global increase in population. I am so proud that our collective efforts have begun to make progress toward our goal, but there is still so much to be done. I am optimistic about what can be achieved when governments, communities, conservationists and private foundations like ours come together to tackle global challenges," added DiCaprio.

In response to today's announcement by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) that it will improve the regulation and monitoring of the U.S.'s large captive tiger population, World Wildlife Fund (WWF) issued the following statement from Leigh Henry, senior policy advisor for wildlife conservation and co-author of the first study to look at the connection between these cats and illegal trade:

"The U.S. just threw a lifeline to tiger populations fighting to make a comeback in the wild. By tightening regulations around captive tigers, the U.S. is making it harder for captive-bred tigers to filter into and stimulate the black market that threatens wild tigers in Asia.

"More tigers exist in captivity in the U.S. than remain in the wild globally. Astonishingly, there is no system in the U.S. to monitor how many captive tigers there are, who owns them, when they're sold or traded, and what happens to their parts when they die.

"The new regulations by USFWS are a critical first step toward ensuring that tigers bred in the U.S. aren't helping fuel the illegal trade that drives poaching of wild tigers overseas. It's also another sign that the Obama administration takes wildlife crime seriously.

"But there is more to be done. The U.S. must continue to improve its regulation of the estimated 5,000 tigers within its borders and work with other countries with large captive tiger populations, most notably China, to map a way forward so that these animals aren't a threat to the conservation of tigers in the wild. The U.S. and China recently stepped up with joint commitments to end the trade of elephant ivory. This collaboration should serve as a model for protecting other threatened wildlife, and with only a few thousand left in the wild, tigers should be among the highest priorities."

Nearly half of all natural World Heritage sites are threatened by harmful industrial activities, according to a new WWF report. These sites provide vital services to people and the environment, but are at risk worldwide from activities including oil and gas exploration, mining and illegal logging.

The report, produced for WWF by Dalberg Global Development Advisors, shows how natural World Heritage sites contribute to economic and social development through the protection of the environment, but also details global failures to protect these areas of outstanding universal value.

According to the study, 114 natural and mixed World Heritage sites out of 229 either have oil, gas or mining concessions overlapping them or are under threat from at least one other harmful industrial activity.

"World Heritage sites should receive the highest levels of protection, yet we are often unable to safeguard even this important fraction of the Earth's surface," said Marco Lambertini, Director General of WWF International. "We all agree that these are some of the most valuable and unique places on the planet, now we need to work together to let these sites provide for the well-being of people and nature."

More than 11 million people – greater than the population of Portugal – depend on World Heritage sites for food, water, shelter and medicine, and could be negatively affected by the impacts of harmful industrial activities conducted at large-scale.

World Heritage sites could play a key role for these people and communities worldwide in achieving the global sustainable development goals agreed last year by UN member states. According to the report, 90 percent of natural World Heritage sites provide jobs and benefits that extend far beyond their boundaries.

"We need to wake up to the fact that people don't just protect these sites, these sites protect people. Governments and businesses need to prioritize long-term value over short-term revenue and respect the status of these incredible places," said Lambertini. "We need to turn away from harmful industrial activities and focus on sustainable alternatives that enhance World Heritage sites, their values and the benefits they provide."

The study, Protecting People through Nature: Natural World Heritage Sites as Drivers of Sustainable Development, also shows that over 20 percent of natural World Heritage sites face threats from multiple harmful industrial activities.

In one example cited in the report, the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System is shown to be at risk from unsustainable coastal construction, large-scale mangrove clearance, harmful agricultural run-off and the potential of dangerous oil exploration. These threats put the well-being of 190,000 people – half of Belize's population – at risk.

"Conserving the environment does not hurt economic opportunities, it allows us to build sustainably on these irreplaceable assets," said Roberto Troya, WWF's Director for Latin America and the Caribbean. "Threats to World Heritage sites in places as diverse as Belize, Spain and Tanzania demonstrate how widespread the risks run and should unite us in our effort to protect these essential areas."

Among other measures listed in the report, WWF is asking the private sector to make no go commitments to refrain from activities that threaten to degrade World Heritage sites. Financing should also be withheld from projects involving harmful industrial activities in World Heritage sites or the companies conducting them.

National governments should ensure that no harmful industrial activities are permitted in World Heritage sites or in areas that could negatively affect them. Governments should hold multinational enterprises headquartered or operating in their territories to the highest standards of corporate accountability and stewardship.

World Heritage sites cover approximately 0.5 per cent of the Earth's surface. These sites support some of the planet's most valuable ecosystems and contribute to economies through tourism, recreation and the export of resources while also providing homes to threatened species and helping counter global climate change.

The WWF report establishes five global principles that are fundamental to well-managed World Heritage sites. These principles – valuation, investment decisions, governance, policymaking and enforcement – can help decision makers achieve an appropriate and equitable balance between conservation, sustainability and development and reduce the threats to our shared World Heritage.

Coral bleaching on Australia's Great Barrier Reef appears to be far worse than originally thought, according to one of the world's leading coral reef scientists.

The Reef's most pristine northern section now has been 95% bleached, according to a survey undertaken by Professor Terry Hughes. Professor Hughes has said that huge levels of bleaching have occurred in the top 1,000 kilometers of the World Heritage-listed Reef.

"This will change the Great Barrier Reef forever," Professor Hughes told the ABC. "It's too early to tell precisely how many of the bleached coral will die, but judging from the extreme level even the most robust corals are snow white, I'd expect to see about half of those corals die in the coming month or so."

"Imagine the public outcry if the Amazon rainforest turned snow white because of climate change. That's essentially what we are seeing on the Great Barrier Reef," said World Wildlife Fund Senior Scientist Gabby Ahmadia. "It's just that it's taking place underwater."

"Widespread bleaching events like this one are an ominous reminder that the effects of climate change are already here," Ahmadia added. "When you lose large parts of the foundation of the reef ecosystem, you're bound to see biological repercussions across a huge swath of the local aquatic community."

"We call on Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to travel to the Great Barrier Reef, so he can see for himself why his government needs to show real leadership on climate change," said WWF-Australia CEO Dermot O'Gorman. "The Prime Minister cannot allow his Government to continue its complacency on climate change, or on action to protect the Reef from pollution."

|Check-in before
Great place to stay during Alp days in Swiss. Charming apartment in a wonderful village with all comfort and home tools. Besides, Patricia the owner is really helpful and make you feel like home. I would recommend this apartment to any traveller.
This apartment is very well designed and the owner was very friendly. We spend a very good time in Brugge. I will recommend this apartment. But we had a problem with Wimdu because they gave us a wrong telephone and address and we couldn´t contact with the owner and Windu. Finally we could contact with Interhom and they gave me the right telephone and address. It was a very stressful situation.
We stayed in the appartment during Christmas.The appartment itself is fabulous and located in a wonderful, but quite village. All rooms, big kitchen, furniture and facilities were well taken care of. A practical space for a family, like ours with two young children. Forests for walking is near. Shops and cities are further away. A good option is to drive to the closest train station to catch one of the trains that take you through the whole country, with its nice towns and to Luxemburg city for just 4euro a day, children under 12 yrs travel free. Food and wine in Luxemburg are nice, so we enjoyed Christmas very much.
The place was very clean and big. It had a nice garden that we could use whenever we wanted, which is great if you go with kids. The only problem was that it said the beach was 400m away, which is true but it was 400m of steps, which is a problem when you are coming back and have to go up (with kids, baby and a lot of stuff).
Apart from that, everything was great.
Nice apartment as advertised
Very nice accommodation
Fantastic views - just like in the pictures.
Would go back anytime!
Located in central Supetar with walking distance to beaches and the ferry, this accommodation is a perfect hub for a Brac vacation.
The view from the terrace is scenic with a clear view of Split from the other side of the strait. The beds are comfortable and not as hard as a lot of beds are in these kind of accomodations. The kitchen, though small, works well to cook in. We cooked one meal a day here for almost two weeks without getting swamped. The host is nice and very helpful and sometimes unexpectedly gave us treats such as fresh lemonade or home baked cookies. We traveled with a 1 1\2 year old, which worked really well here, she had a crib of her own and loved both the host and the house cat!
Every was beautiful: house, service, neighborhood, environs, region - all was the best, but unfortunately the one thing disturbed our stay.
Very unpleasent strong smell of animal (cat, dog?) in living room.
It was really unpleasant.
