Here's the last month's worth of stories from the Plenty magazine web site: Three years, more than 750 entries, and coverage of more than 1,000 endangered species ... and yet I feel my work is just beginning. Hey folks -- starting today, Extinction Blog will be published by Plenty Magazine, a great environmental news and commentary magazine for people interested in living a greener life. Not counting a few administrative posts (like this one), Extinction Blog posted its 600th entry earlier today. That's a lot of species at risk, and it barely scratches the surface. Thanks for reading, and thanks for taking action. Keep up to date on the latest news of endangered species with Extinction Blog. New postings almost daily. (Which is unfortunate, if you think about it.) One great thing about moving new Extinction Blog entries to TypePad: I can now track not only how many visitors hit the site every day, but what search string led them to the site, if they came from a search engine. It's amazing how many people are visiting looking for information on the "world's largest snake." (Hey, as long as they're reading...) Whoops. It's been a while since the last post here. That's because we've everything to a new level and made Extinction Blog 2.0 our official new site. According to the World Conservation Union, the West African black rhino (Diceros bicornis longipes) is likely extinct, after recent efforts to find the species in its last refuge of Cameroon proved fruitless. Just ten of the animals were left in 2000, but their distance from each other made further breeding unlikely, if not impossible. Give 'em a look. Then take action. We're posting over on the beta test of Extinction Blog 2.0 this week, so here a few important stories you may have missed: This week's posts will appear over at Extinction Blog 2.0 (beta) on TypePad. Let me know what you think and which site you prefer! 1) Global warming leads to 2) longer warm seasons meaning 3) less ice leading to 4) less food for polar bears which could now lead to 5) them eating each other, according to a new study. |
