• Ifaw Investigation: Illegal Trade in Endangered Animals Flourishes On Web

YARMOUTH PORT, Mass., Aug. 16 /U.S. Newswire/ -- An investigation by IFAW (the International Fund for Animal Welfare) released today reveals that vast quantities of wildlife products and live animals are bought and sold illegally on the Internet -- a lucrative trade that is driving the world's most endangered species to the brink of extinction. Every single day thousands of wild animals and animal parts -- from live chimpanzees and huge ivory tusks to tiny dried seahorses - - are illegally traded in cyberspace. IFAW conducted a three-month investigation which showed that, in a single week, over 9,000 live animals or products were for sale on English-language websites, chat rooms and the popular auction site eBay.

• State's Endangered Animals Face Another Hurdle As Temps Rise

To the already full plate of threats faced by endangered species in New Mexico, add one more: climate change. As if habitat fragmentation, development, predators and dwindling genetic diversity weren't enough to make some species freak out over their survival prospects, consider the warming temperatures scientists attribute to greenhouse-gas emissions such as carbon dioxide. The Ro Grande cutthroat trout, Jemez salamander and doe- eyed Goat Peak pika are among the New Mexico species that will need to adapt or die, according to a new report from the Nature Conservancy.

• Proposal Could Threaten Endangered Species: ; Federal Agencies Would Decide for Themselves If; Projects Would Harm Animals and Plants

WASHINGTON - Just months before President Bush leaves office, his administration is antagonizing environmentalists by proposing changes that would allow federal agencies to decide for themselves whether subdivisions, dams, highways and other projects have the potential to harm endangered animals and plants. The proposal, first reported by The Associated Press, would cut out the advice of government scientists who have been weighing in on such decisions for 35 years. Agencies also could not consider a project's contribution to global warming in their analysis.
