According to scientists, a sixth planetary mass extinction is ongoing. The IUCN estimates that 30 percent of amphibians, 21 percent of mammals, and 12 percent of birds are extinct or gravely threatened. Habitat loss, climate change, over-harvesting, invasive species, and the wildlife trade are responsible for most biodiversity loss.  Full (Mongabay)

mothernaturenetwork: 5 breakthroughs that will make solar power cheaper than coalSolar technology charges forward despite Washington’s backward march. Just check out this solar cell printed on paper — MIT has found a way to print solar cells on just about anything, using low temperatures and vapor. The resulting printed paper cell is extremely durable and can be folded and unfolded more than 1,000 times with no loss in performance!

The REDD calculator includes a mapping function, which displays areas in Kalimantan protected under the moratorium. “The coolest feature of this tool is the ability to produce, on-the-fly, an indicative map of forest moratorium areas based on user-specified moratorium scenarios,” Koh added. “By raising public awareness of the opportunities and costs of implementing the moratorium, this tool can help inform future discussions and debates concerning future REDD+ strategies in Indonesia.” The REDD calculator is built on several layers of data including plantation and concession information from the World Resources Institute, Sekala, and the Ministry of Forestry of Indonesia; satellite imagery from NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), NASA Landsat, and the Daichi-Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS); and field estimates of carbon stocks.  See in full » | news.mongabay.com
