Deutsche-Welle: Researchers meeting in Cameroon have warned that Africa could lose up to 30 percent of its animal and plant species by the end of the century because of global warming, population growth and unregulated development. It is mid-afternoon in Lom Pangar in Eastern Cameroon. People are busy working, digging holes and cleaning up. Some are cutting down trees in preparation for the construction of a new dam that could generate up to 30 megawatts of hydroelectric power. Nformi Johnson works for one of...

Softpedia: Study on fish establishes a direct link between climate change and biodiversity loss A team of scientists claim to have directly linked climate change and biodiversity loss for the first time ever. Specifically, they say they found evidence that climate change fosters cross-breeding between native and invasive species inhabiting a given region. According to Click Green, this link between climate change and biodiversity loss was proven with the help of information collected while monitoring trout...

Scientists find surprising biodiversity between forests

Mongabay: The Theory of Island Biogeography, coined by Robert MacArthur and E.O. Wilson, helps describe why species are distributed as they are. The larger and closer an island is to another (or to the mainland), the more biodiverse it should be. This can be used to describe actual islands in the ocean, like the Galapagos, or even mountaintops, like the Madrean Sky Islands in southern Arizona and New Mexico. In human-dominated countryside areas, forests are often fragmented and scattered among a matrix...

Climate change major threat to biodiversity, study says
2014-05-02 11:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: New research has suggested that climate change effects on the environment would be so complex and varied that different regions would be threatened in different ways. Scientists have said that the level of complexity of this phenomenon is unprecedented in natural sciences. The team of researchers used 15 climate change models to assess how species would react in various regions of the planet to the consequences of climatic variations, such as changes in temperature and precipitation. They found...

Ecosystem Marketplace: This is the seventh in an ongoing series of articles developed in support of this year's two Katoomba Meetings, both of which are taking place in Latin America. The first meeting will take place on March 19 and 20 at Iguazú Falls, on the border of Brazil and Argentina, under the banner "Scaling Up Sustainable Commodity Supply Chains'. The second meeting will take place in Lima, Peru, over four days -- from April 22 through 25 -- and its working motto is "Climate, Forests, Water, and People: A...
