Climate Change is Causing Species to Shift Faster Towards Poles, Says New Study
A new study published in Science magazine, shows that species are moving toward the poles three times faster and climbing higher twice as fast as previously reported in 2003. The study looks at how over 1,500 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, plants and insects have responded to a warming climate over the past 40 years.
NASA Reports Third Warmest June-August on Record Globally as Dramatic Videos are Released Showing Consequences for Walruses
NASA has just released global temperature data for June-August 2011, showing that it was the third warmest June-August on record, with the largest temperature departures from normal concentrated at the poles. In the Arctic, where sea surface temperatures in some areas reached record levels in August, sea ice declined to record or near-record levels. The U.S. Geological Survey and videographer Dan Zatz released today (13 September 2011) dramatic videos of walruses hauled-out along the Alaska shoreline of the Chukchi Sea -- leaving little doubt of the epic proportions of the disruption being felt in the region as it rapidly warms.
Number of Walruses Hauled Out near Point Lay, Alaska, Swells to over 20,000
Just weeks before Arctic sea ice extent reaches a record or near-record annual low, observers estimate that over 20,000 walruses have hauled-out near Point Lay, Alaska. The aerial observers also have spotted dead walruses on their flights over the Chukchi Sea.

Please Save The Rhinos - World Wildlife Fund
Did you know there are only three species of Rhino's left in the world?
Please call in and support this appeal to save the rhino's. There are fewer Javan Rhino's 40 left, due to poaching and disease, and the Krakatoa Volcano. Crime Syndicates have provoked people into thinking that Rhino horn can cure cancer, among other various miraculous health cures.
These final remaining Javan Rhinos, less than 40 need to be moved to a protected area. There are no Rhinos in captivity now to work with, none at any of the zoo's around the world. Like many of the species such as the buffalo in these our United States original buffalo these Rhinos have been hunted into extinction in less than two decades. These animals need to be moved and it costs 5-70 Thousand of Dollars, due to the three T's: Tracking, Tranking and Trans-locating. Rhino Horn is now world more per ounce than Gold.
