Insecticide spraying will be expanded to control pest caterpillar
|
9.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| A new £1.5m fund will be spent on a pilot project to increase pesticide spraying to control the oak processionary moth
Spraying of insecticide on oak trees will be increased to eradicate a pest moth that causes health problems and can strip the trees bare, under a new £1.5m government fund announced on Thursday.
The escalation of efforts to control the oak processionary moth ( Thaumetopoea processionea ) follows the Forestry Commission announcement this week that it will use a helicopter in May to blanket-spray a woodland in West Berkshire, the first time aerial spraying will have been used .
The extra funding will be spent on a pilot project to expand spraying in and around areas where the moth's caterpillars have been found around south and south-west London, and on trees where infestations are less obvious.
Lord de Mauley, parliamentary under secretary at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), said: "Tree health is a priority for us and this pest not ... |

Climate changes could bring malaria to the UK
|
5.5.2013 |
Guardian: Environment |
| Health experts warn of growing threat from 'exotic' diseases
Leading health experts are urging the government to take action against the growing threat that mosquito-borne diseases, including potentially fatal malaria, could soon arrive in the UK.
The disturbing recommendation to "act now before it is too late" is being made as a growing body of evidence indicates that what were once thought of as tropical diseases are being found ever closer to the UK.
Health experts meeting at the annual public health conference of the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health later this week will hear that rising incidences of a growing list of pest-borne diseases are now a "serious" cause for concern in the UK.
The conference will be told that it would be complacent to think that diseases such as dengue fever, malaria and Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever, now present on the European continent but once considered "exotic and confined to faraway places", will not emerge in the UK.

| A new movement has erupted demanding divestment from fossil fuel polluters – and Big Green is in their sights
The movement demanding that public interest institutions divest their holdings from fossil fuels is on a serious roll. Chapters have opened up in more than 100 US cities and states as well as on more than 300 campuses, where students are holding protests, debates and sit-ins to pressure their to rid their endowments of oil, gas and coal holdings. And under the " Fossil Free UK " banner, the movement is now crossing the Atlantic, with a major push planned by People & Planet for this summer. Some schools, including University College London, have decided not to wait and already have active divestment campaigns.
Though officially launched just six months ago, the movement can already claim some provisional victories: four US colleges have announced their intention to divest their endowments from fossil fuel stocks and bonds and, in late April, 10 US cities made similar commitments, ... |

Understanding body clock can pave the way for better health
MOST heart attacks occur in the morning. Depression and suicidal thoughts peak in the middle of the night. Travelling across time zones makes people feel out of sorts. While these appear to be different observations, there is one interesting phenomenon common to them all: a clock that constantly ticks inside of us. |

Climate change compounds rising threats to koala

30.4.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Australia's iconic marsupial is at risk from shrinking habitats, road traffic and dog attacks – and increasingly, global warming
Australia's iconic marsupial is under threat. Formerly hunted almost to extinction for their woolly coats, koalas are now struggling to survive as habitat destruction caused by droughts and bushfires, land clearing for agriculture and logging, and mining and urban development conspire against this cuddly creature.
In the past 20 years, the koala population has significantly declined, dropping by 40 percent in the state of Queensland and by a third in New South Wales (NSW). The Australian Koala Foundation (AKF) estimates that there are between 45,000 and 90,000 koalas left in the wild.
Shrinking habitat and climate change is compounding the risk of disease, while attacks from feral and domestic dogs and road accidents add to a long list of risks that this arboreal mammal faces as it moves across the landscape in search of food.
It is estimated that around ... |
