Temat: Obama taps marine ecologist Jane Lubchenco to head NOAA
...a Pew Fellowship, eight honorary degrees, the 2002 Heinz Award in the Environment, the 2003 Nierenberg Prize for Science in the Public Interest, and the 2004 Distinguished Scientist Award from the American Institute of Biological Sciences." Lubchenco founded the Communication Partnership for Science and the Sea (COMPASS), an effort to bring together academics, scientists, and media types to communicate about marine conservation science. She also founded the Aldo Leopold Leadership Program, which selects 20 academic environmental scientists each year for training and networking in the interest of improving the communication of science to policymakers and the public, and she continues to chair program's advisory board. She was a participant in the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, co-chairing the business and industry subset. Lubchenco also co-chaired Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski's Advisory Group on Global...

Temat: The Biologist & the Sea: Lessons in Restoration
...Now 51, he has written three books on the rising human impact on seas once presumed boundless. The first was on fishing, the next on the travels and travails of albatrosses. His latest, “Voyage of the Turtle: In Pursuit of the Earth’s Last Dinosaur” (Henry Holt, 2006), follows the struggles of the ocean’s ancient leatherbacks and other sea turtles. His prime goal, he has said, is to develop a “sea ethic” similar to the land ethic of Aldo Leopold, and a scattering of success stories has convinced him that a balance is still possible between exploitation and conservation of marine resources. On this day, several bluefish were hooked and two were landed as he zigzagged over the North Rips, a series of shallow ridges that, like Long Island and Block Island, are deposits of sand and gravel left behind after the great ice sheets of the last ice age stopped their southward advance. The next stop was...

Temat: Dylemat głodnego barbarzyńcy
...lista wykracza znacznie poza żelatynę, skórzane obuwie czy choćby plastry opatrunkowe – w zasadzie ciągnie się niemal w nieskończoność. Kiedy analizowałem wnikliwie listy od czytelników, jakie ‟The New York Times” wydrukował w odpowiedzi na felieton, bardziej zdumiało mnie to, czego w całym tym sporze zabrakło. Niewypowiedziany koncept stojący za debatą nad weganizmem to ‟biocentryzm”. Każdy, nawet sam Aldo Leopold (za zasługi w dziedzinie ochrony dzikiej przyrody powinien zostać kanonizowany) w końcu okazuje się nikim więcej, jak zwykłym antropocentrykiem. Troszczymy się o naszą planetę tylko dlatego, że jesteśmy zbudowani z tych samych materiałów. Planeta c’est moi! Zwiedzeni tą ideą, niektórzy sądzą, że mogą być bezinteresownie ‟biocentryczni”, mając na uwadze zarówno dobro planety (i zwierząt innych od...
