Australian environmentalist fears global decline of coral reefs
An Australian scientist and environmentalist reported that there has been a great amount of degradation of coral reefs, especially in the famous Great Barrier Reef in Australia. The loss is primarily attributed to acute mortality events from crown-of-thorns starfish, coral bleaching and strong catastrophes, said the Director of the Australian Research Council Center of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies of James Cook University in Australia Dr. Terry Hughes, as he briefed a group of researchers, teachers, graduate students and representatives of local government units and government agencies in Negros Oriental, Siquijor and Cebu in the orientation-briefing on “Scale, Stock-recruitment Dynamics and the Global Decline of Coral Reefs” held recently at Silliman University in Dumaguete City.

Remembering environmentalist David Brower
To commemorate David Brower’s legacy, Kenneth Brower and his sister Barbara, and many of the organizations that Brower founded, have put together a year-long celebration of the environmentalist’s life. The commemoration kicked off May 17 with the opening of a stunning wilderness photography show, Thinking Like a River: Art, Advocacy, and the Legacy of David Brower, co-curated by Kenneth and Barbara Brower and now on display at the David Brower Center in Berkeley. The show features many of the covers of Brower’s large-format nature books, as well as deep-sea photos by Bill Curtsinger and landscape photos by Joseph Holmes.
