WWF - LATEST NEWS

An update to our supporters
WWF - Latest News / 1d
As announced last week, WWF has commissioned an Independent Review into concerns relating to our work in some countries. We do not tolerate any human rights abuses, and we are taking each of these allegations seriously. A subcommittee of the WWF-International Board has been established which will appoint an Independent Panel of experts, with expertise in human rights, development, conservation an
World leaders fail to address plastic crisis
WWF - Latest News / 4d
The Fourth United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-4), which took place from 11-15 March, ended with no agreement on starting a process towards a global, legally binding deal on marine plastics pollution - a solution advocated by WWF. A WWF report launched on 5 March warned that without a drastic change in approach, global plastic pollution will continue to worsen, with 104 million metric tons
WWF calls for a New Deal for Nature and People at the Fourth UN Environmental Assembly
WWF - Latest News / 8d
It is clear we are failing to address nature loss; Biodiversity continues to decline, with devastating consequences. Global wildlife populations have declined on average by 60 per cent in the past 40 years. This is a warning sign that nature is in a state of emergency. Each year, around US$125 trillion worth of ecosystem services are provided to the global economy. Urgent, decisive, global action
Accountability can reverse plastic pollution crisis, says WWF report
WWF - Latest News / 14d
GLAND, Switzerland (5 March 2019) – The global plastics pollution crisis will only worsen unless all actors across the plastics value chain are made more accountable for the true cost of plastics to nature and people, warns a WWF report published today. The new study, Solving Plastic Pollution Through Accountability, finds that too much responsibility for reducing plastics pollution is currently
Tanzania's Court Sentences Chinese National Charged with Ivory Trafficking to 15 Years in Prison
WWF - Latest News / 27d
Yang Fenglan was regarded as the 'ivory queen' because of her role in smuggling ivory out of Tanzania to international ivory buyers supplying consumers in Asia. The long-awaited verdict follows a new approach by Tanzanian authorities of using intelligence-led law enforcement work implemented by the National and Transnational Serious Crimes Investigation Unit that targets all levels of wildlife cr

Curse of Oak Island - Dan Blankenship Has Died
A Different Perspective / 1d
There is sad news for those of us who watch Curse of Oak Island . Dan Blankenship, the man who inspired so many treasure hunters and who was the “go to” guy when the Laginas had questions, has died. He was 95. Dan Blankenship I had wondered where he was this season and was delighted when he showed up in that golf cart recently. He had a chance to see what the Laginas had found in Smith’s Cove, an
Project Blue Book - The Washington Nationals - Season Finale
A Different Perspective / 4d
I know some of my colleagues are delighted that we’ve seen the season finale of Project Blue Book , not because they like the show but because it is over… for a while. I confess that I don’t understand their hostility. Project Blue Book is not a documentary but a drama that has a historical background and a loose, very loose, interpretation of some of the sightings that are found in the Blue Book
Project Blue Book and Lt. Col. Robert Friend
A Different Perspective / 21d
Many of my colleagues in the UFO community are unhappy with History’s Project Blue Book. While it is true that it is very loosely based on the Blue Book files and that it takes great liberties with the stories, it is also true that many of those who were involved with Blue Book in some capacity are not as offended. I have talked with Paul Hynek who gave me the family’s opinion of the show. I have
Curse of Oak Island - Nearing the Solution? (March 2019)
A Different Perspective / 11d
I believe the mystery of Oak Island has been solved. The Laginas boys have provided many hints that have been overlooked and Joy Steele provided the history that brings it all together. The sad thing is that there is no treasure and there probably never was any treasure, regardless of what the breathless narrator tells us every week and season after season. Let’s look at some of the evidence. Sev
Project Blue Book Episode Seven - Sonny Desvergers, The Florida Scoutmaster
A Different Perspective / 27d
Last night we were treated to the Florida Scoutmaster case which was moved to Ohio for some unknown reason. The drama, as it played out did follow, to some extent, the true events on which the episode was based. We did have scouts and a scoutmaster except in this case he was armed because he liked to hunt. When they saw lights out among the trees, the scoutmaster advanced, fired a shot or two, an

A Devourer of Souls
A Very Public Sociologist / 4h
Twitter is such an innocent-sounding word. Yet in the dystopic social media landscapes of 21st century late capitalism it is a crusher of spirits and devourer of souls.

That makes it ground zero for, well, everything. For folks not p

Dust rings in the Solar System are of interest because they offer clues about the formation of the planets, as well as allowing us to contrast our own circumstellar dust with what we see around other stars in varying stages of planetary development.

Again we discover the comedy team from Seinfeld teaming up to present cabalistic messages. Observe the V in Michael Richards' ("Kramer") leg and in Julia Louis-Dreyfuss' ("Elaine") arm; the circle that Richards makes with the fingers of his left hand, the "X" made by the intersecting hands and wrists of Richards and Louis-Dreyfuss; the descendant triangle sign of Jason Alexander's ("George") hand
