African leaders must emulate Chinese celebrities to save elephants | Paula Kahumbu
|
16.5.2013 |
Guardian: Environment |
| Li Bingbing and Yao Ming are among the celebrities campaigning to save elephants – now African politicians must do the same
The world can no longer ignore the reality that elephants may be gone within decades, unless something drastic happens to stop the slaughter. Crushing the criminal cartels in Africa is only half of the challenge, demand in consumer countries must also be choked. The demand for ivory in the Far East is unprecedented and China alone consumes over 50% of the illegal ivory coming out of Africa.
Stepping up to the challenge, Chinese actress and UNEP Goodwill Ambassador, Li Bingbing has added her voice to the campaign to raise awareness about how the demand in China is fueling the killing of elephants in Africa. In an emotional press conference at UNEP headquarters in Nairobi recently, Li admitted that she had once purchased a beautiful ivory bracelet because she had no idea that it had come from a killed elephant.
Like many people in China, Li asserts that ignorance in ... |

Mackerel returns to the 'fish to eat' list
|
16.5.2013 |
Guardian: Environment |
| The surprise U-turn by the MCS comes after it told fish-eaters in January that the species should be consumed rarely
Mackerel has been put back on the "fish to eat" list in a surprise U-turn by conservationists.
The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) on Thursday upgraded its rating for British and European mackerel caught from the most sustainable fisheries to "yellow", meaning people can eat it occasionally without endangering the species.
The reversal comes after it told fish-eaters in January that mackerel should only be consumed rarely, like monkfish and plaice, due to overfishing in the north-east Atlantic.
The MCS said the best choice now is Cornish mackerel caught by "hand-line", with British, European or Norwegian mackerel that is "pelagic-caught" – caught in shoals – as the best alternative. Consumers are urged to avoid Icelandic and Faroese pelagic-caught mackerel, rated "red" on the charity's scale.
Some retailers were privately surprised by the move and ... |

Country diary: Canvey Wick, Essex: In a poor spring for moths, there's been a reasonable catch at the trap
|
16.5.2013 |
Guardian: Environment |
| Canvey Wick, Essex: Sitting on our egg boxes are about 20 moths from nine species, including the reed dagger and sloe carpet
Evening falls on this wildlife jewel of a brownfield site. The hazy southern horizon is crenelated with giant fuel storage tanks and chimneys, and dotted with sodium yellow lights. Metallic clanks and distant radio music drift over from an industrial estate. Close by a cuckoo calls enthusiastically from the birch scrub. Our little two-stroke generator is obstinate – coughing, spluttering, smoking and stalling. Eventually it comes to life and we plug in the moth trap; the big mercury vapour bulb flickers on and its glow builds from pink to brilliant white.
Despite the clear sky the air is still and reasonably balmy. We set off on a torch-lit bug hunt, stalking through soggy low-lying areas, striding over the broad asphalt discs where fuel tanks briefly stood in the 1970s, and sweeping nets through herbs growing in sandy areas. Where the vegetation is sparse and sand ... |
