  • Lost Edge Amphibian Now Found!

    Updated: 2010-09-22 16:12:08
    Conservation International’s “Lost Frogs” campaign  (see EDGE blog) has found the elusive Cave splayfoot salamander (Chiropterotriton mosaueri) during its hunt for the world’s Missing In Action amphibians! The rediscovery was hailed today, meaning that this is the first time anyone has seen the cave-dwelling salamander since 1941…nearly 7 decades ago! This missing lungless salamander was located in [...]

  • A Dose of Leopold

    Updated: 2010-09-21 00:31:51
    I like all my metaphors for bureaucracy to be in the language of game hunting. I had a bird dog named Gus. When Gus couldn’t find pheasants he worked up an enthusiasm for Sora rails and meadowlarks. This whipped-up zeal for unsatisfactory substitutes masked his failure to find the real thing. It assuaged his inner frustration. - We conservationists are like that. [...]

    Updated: 2010-09-16 09:54:43
    When Kenyan EDGE Fellow Grace Wambui was awarded an EDGE Fellowship to study the golden-rumped elephant-shrew, she had little idea that she would discover a mammal that is potentially new to science. The golden-rumped elephant-shrew (also known as the golden-rumped sengi) is the most threatened of the four currently recognised species of giant elephant-shrew. It is [...]

    Updated: 2010-09-09 02:36:04
    It may seem like birds have the freedom to fly wherever they like, but scientists at the University of Missouri have shown that what's on the ground has a great effect on where a bird flies. This information could be used by foresters and urban planners to improve bird habitats that would help maintain strong bird populations........

  • A Question for You

    Updated: 2010-09-02 18:42:53
    In the mid- to late-90s, there were a slew of papers (e.g. Costanza et al. 1997; Pimentel et al. 1997) estimating the economic value of global biodiversity. Estimates ranged from about $16 to $54 trillion. At that time, world GDP was about $30 trillion. So, a question: has human economic output finally exceeded natural economic [...]
