The Trump administration finalized a rule that changes how agencies enforce the Endangered Species Act. It eliminates a key protection for imperiled wildlife against logging, oil drilling and other activities. Environmentalists warn the move could cause some species to go extinct. Industry representatives and their Republican allies have long argued the 1973 environmental law is wielded too broadly.

Environmentalists warned the move could cause some species to go extinct by opening the door to habitat destruction.
Scott Ritchie of Cairns, Oz, gave me permission to steal photos from his Facebook page. Scott went to Melbourne during the middle of January to visit friends. This report cover a visit to the WTP, Western Treatment Plant, at Werribee, Victoria. WTP is a series of large, secondary sewage treatment ponds, and lagoons abutting the Southern Ocean.
"Super El Niño" is affecting fishing in Peru, India, California and Peru. Fishermen are worried about the impact of El Niño on their livelihoods. El Niño is a weather phenomenon that happens every two to seven years in the tropical Pacific Ocean. It can create winners and losers in fishing industry, decimating some species while making others easier to catch.

Almost all living things on the planet died in a mass extinction 252 million years ago. A working group led by J. Andres Marquez from Stanford University has deciphered the “kill mechanism’ and why some animal species survived. A peculiarity in the metabolism was probably crucial. The organisms that survived the catastrophe triggered by gigantic volcanic eruptions reacted less sensitively to a lack of oxygen at high temperatures. Ocean acidification played a significantly smaller role.
