<a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/hurricane-harvey">Hurricane Harvey</a>'s record rains didn't just unleash a torrent of floodwaters into the Gulf of Mexico—this freshwater could be harming coral reefs which require saltwater to live, according to new research.
</p><p style="">
	After Harvey dumped more than 13 trillion gallons of rain over southeast Texas, researchers detected a 10 percent drop in salinity at the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary, located 100 miles off the coast of Galveston, Texas.
</p><hr><p style="">
	"The salinity at one buoy on the reef dropped from 36 to 32 on Sept. 28, but it rebounded to 36 by Oct. 4, and it has been between 35 and 36 since then," said Rice University marine biologist Adrienne Correa. "We don't yet know what impact the low salinity had on the reef while it was there."
</p><p style="">
	Globally, corals occur in a salinity range between 32 and 40, according to the 
	<a href="http://www.seos-project.eu/modules/coralreefs/coralreefs-c01-p03.html" target="_blank">SEOS Project</a>, which notes that the "sudden decreases in salinity due to high freshwater input by rivers or torrential rains ... is seen as a second factor for the disappearance of massive coral reefs in front of large river mouths."
</p><p style="">
	Similarly, the April 2016 "Tax Day Floods" in Houston also led to massive freshwater runoff that harmed coral reefs.
</p><p style="">
	"In late July 2016 there was a partial die-off on the East Flower Garden Banks," Correa said. "We didn't know it was happening until a recreational dive boat happened to go out there and see it. Because we didn't know about the risk ahead of time, we couldn't sample on a timeline that made it easy to figure out a mechanism for the die-off."
</p><p style="">
	This time, "with Harvey, we were able to catch the 'before' much better than we were in 2016," she noted.
</p><p style="">
	Correa hopes Harvey's floodwater plume continues to travel down the coast to the southwest so it will miss the fragile reefs, since direct hit of floodwater would likely devastate the reefs.
</p><p style="">
	However, she pointed out that even without a direct hit, it is possible that eddies and steering currents in the coming months could bring enough floodwater to the reefs to reduce salinity to dangerous levels.
</p><p style="">
	A destroyed reef can greatly disrupt the larger food chain, as a variety of fish and other marine life depends on it. A 
	<a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-i3720e.pdf" target="_blank">report by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization</a> shows that coral reefs are responsible for producing 17 percent of all globally consumed protein. Crucially, coral reefs <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-climate-oceans-idUSTRE65H0LI20100618" target="_blank">generate half of Earth's oxygen</a> and <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-climate-oceans-idUSTRE65H0LI20100618" target="_blank">absorb nearly one-third of the carbon dioxide</a> generated from burning fossil fuels.
</p><p style="">
	"When people look at the impact of hurricanes on coral reefs, they often look at physical damage or breakage of reef frameworks by waves and storm surge," Correa said. "Much less is known about the impacts of freshwater influx from the precipitation associated with a hurricane."

<a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/ewg-pfcs-drinking-water-2436908585.html">Perfluorinated chemicals</a>, also known as PFASs or PFCs, are used to make everyday items—such as food wrappers, textiles, pots and pans—repel water and grease. But these chemicals <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/perfluorinated-health-effects-2231217242.html">have been linked</a> to a host of <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/health-stories/">health</a> problems, including high cholesterol, hormone disruption and even kidney and testicular <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/cancer">cancer</a>.
</p><p style="">
	Now, researchers at Harvard University found 
	<a href="http://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1002502" target="_blank">evidence</a> that the <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/toxic-water-2473267362.html">environmentally persistent</a> chemicals—found in the <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/drinking-water">drinking water</a> of more than <a href="https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.estlett.6b00260" target="_blank">six million Americans</a>—may play a role in weight gain, especially for women.

                        &lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	PFAS are already a class of suspected &#34;obesogens,&#34; which the National Institutes of Health 
	&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.niehs.nih.gov/health/topics/conditions/obesity/obesogens/index.cfm&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;describes&lt;/a&gt; as endocrine disruptors that may increase fat storage capacity or the number of fat cells, thus making it more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	While obesogens have been linked with excess weight gain and obesity in animal models, human data has been sparse, explained senior author Qi Sun, assistant professor in the Department of Nutrition at Harvard University.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	&#34;Now, for the first time, our findings have revealed a novel pathway through which PFASs might interfere with human body weight regulation and thus contribute to the obesity epidemic,&#34; said Sun in a statement to EcoWatch.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	For the study, published Tuesday in 
	PLOS Medicine, the researchers examined the effects of energy-restricted diets on 621 overweight and obese participants aged 30 to 70 years. Body weight was measured at baseline and then at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	The participants lost an average of 14 pounds of body weight during the six-month weight-loss period and then regained an average of six pounds of body weight during the 18-month weight regain period.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	Blood examinations showed that the participants who gained the most weight after dieting had higher baseline levels of PFASs, especially women. Women with the highest PFAS levels re-gained about four pounds more than those with the lowest PFAS levels.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&#34;These chemicals may lead to more rapid weight gain after dieting,&#34; Sun told the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/feb/13/chemicals-in-packaging-carpets-and-non-stick-pans-may-contribute-to-obesity&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Guardian&lt;/a&gt;. &#34;It is very hard to avoid exposure to PFASs, but we should try to. It&#39;s an increasing public health issue.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&#34;The sex-specific difference did surprise us a little bit,&#34; he told &lt;a href=&#34;http://time.com/5156163/perfluoroalkyl-substances-pfas-weight-gain/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;TIME&lt;/a&gt;. &#34;But we also know that PFAS can interfere with estrogen metabolism and functioning, so this may be why we see this observation mostly in women.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	The study also found that higher blood concentration of PFASs were associated with lower resting metabolic rates.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	&#34;People with lower metabolic rates are more likely to accumulate a lot of fat in the body, so this may be a very important part of the problem,&#34; Sun explained to TIME.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	The findings suggest that overweight and obese individuals with relatively low PFAS exposures might potentially benefit more from weight-loss interventions.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	Despite some of the harmful health effects of PFASs, the paper notes that the production of some PFASs may continue or even increase, especially in developing countries.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	&#34;Given the persistence of these PFASs in the environment and the human body, their potential adverse effects remain a public health concern,&#34; the authors said.&lt;/p&gt;

                <p style="">All nine community water systems on <a href="http://www.lyttonfirstnations.com/" target="_blank">Lytton First Nation</a> land in BC have been under boil water advisories at one time or another. Now the First Nation is taking an innovative approach to resolving its drinking water problems. It's working with public and private organizations and universities in a "circle of trust" to identify challenges and test solutions in real-world conditions. The approach came about as the result of a partnership with <a href="http://www.reseauwaternet.ca/" target="_blank">RES'EAU-WaterNET</a>, a strategic research network under the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.</p>

            <div class="js-appear-on-expand">
                <script type="keep-reading-content">
                        &lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Because problems with drinking water systems vary, RES&#39;EAU-WaterNET works with communities like Lytton First Nation to gain insights early on in the process. With Lytton First Nation&#39;s water treatment operators at the center of an &#34;innovation circle,&#34; they and experts from government, universities, consulting firms, water companies and contractors identified and piloted several options for providing affordable, sustainable water treatment solutions. Community members, including elders and youth, were also included in discussions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;A lab at the University of British Columbia built a mobile, state-of-the-art water treatment plant that can fit on the back of a truck. With help from UBC students, it was up and running at the Lytton First Nation in 2016, providing filtration and disinfection for water from Nickeyeah Creek.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;It&#39;s one of several innovative, much-needed approaches to meeting the federal government&#39;s promise to end all long-term drinking water advisories in First Nations communities by 2021. As commendable as the government&#39;s commitment is, new research shows it&#39;s falling short on progress.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;A David Suzuki Foundation report, &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://davidsuzuki.org/science-learning-centre-article/reconciling-promises-and-reality-clean-drinking-water-for-first-nations/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Reconciling Promises and Reality: Clean Drinking Water for First Nations&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, finds the government failing on eight of 14 indicators developed to assess its progress.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Lack of clean water in Indigenous communities is astonishing in a country where many of us take that for granted. &#34;Right now, we have elders going down to the lake, chopping holes in the ice to bring water to their households. Right now,&#34; Assembly of First Nations Manitoba regional chief Kevin Hart &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/first-nations-gathering-in-vancouver-want-better-water-legislation-safe-drinking-water-1.4523943&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;said&lt;/a&gt; at a Vancouver symposium, Reconciliation through Sustainable Water Management, in early February.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;As of Jan. 23, there were 91 long-term drinking water advisories affecting First Nations communities on public systems. (Adding short-term advisories brings the number to 147, as of Oct. 31, 2017.) Over the past two years, the government has lifted 32 advisories, but 22 new ones were added over the same time, illustrating the complexity of the problem.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Part of the problem is inadequate funding. The 2016 federal budget included $1.8 billion in new funding to help resolve the crisis, but a December 2017 Parliamentary Budget Officer report found these new investments into waste and water infrastructure &lt;a href=&#34;http://nationalpost.com/news/politics/government-spending-only-70-of-whats-needed-to-end-boil-water-advisories-on-reserves-pbo&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;represent just 70 percent of what is needed&lt;/a&gt; to end all First Nations drinking water advisories by 2021.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Meeting the government&#39;s commitment will require a number of measures. Ensuring that First Nations lead the processes and have the tools, money and training needed to operate and maintain systems, and recognizing that a one-size-fits-all approach won&#39;t address the varying needs of different communities are among the first steps.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;The report recommends a number of ways to improve processes, including the 12 recommendations from the Foundation&#39;s report released a year ago, &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://davidsuzuki.org/science-learning-centre-article/report-glass-half-empty-year-1-progress-toward-resolving-drinking-water-advisories-nine-first-nations-ontario/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Glass Half Empty? Year 1 Progress Toward Resolving Drinking Water Advisories in Nine First Nations in Ontario&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, that still apply.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;It also recommends that government invest in and share successful models of First Nations-led approaches to resolving drinking water advisories, including developing and implementing source water protection plans. It should ensure systems are upgraded quickly and effectively, with adequate and transparent funding provided for operations and maintenance. Legislation and regulations should also be developed, with First Nations as equal partners, to hold the federal government accountable to First Nations for safe drinking water.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Support from provincial governments is also necessary, as is being done in Ontario.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&#34;A long history of colonialism has had disastrous effects on social, psychological and economic resilience in communities. Only a holistic approach that builds capacity and infrastructure throughout communities and across sectors will be successful,&#34; the report notes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Water is life. We all have the right to safe water for drinking, cooking and bathing. Reconciliation means many things, but access to clean water is an absolute requisite.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/hr&gt;

        <div class="body-description"><div class="widget__brief">
                <p style="">By Robin Scher</p><p style="">One of my resolutions this year is to eat less meat. As a lifelong carnivore, this task has already proven to be easier said than done. The major challenge comes down to changing my habits. After years of enjoying bacon with my eggs for breakfast, I now associate its comforting greasy taste with the feeling of fullness. So how do I—and others like me—overcome this obstacle? One big challenge is finding a way to stay motivated.</p>

            <div class="js-appear-on-expand">
                <script type="keep-reading-content">
                        &lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Enter the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.blitzresults.com/en/meat/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Meat Blitz-Calculator&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Major reasons for cutting down on meat have to do with the health, environmental and animal welfare impact of this dietary choice. It may be easy to understand the negative consequences meat-eating has for your heart, the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/climate-change/&#34;&gt;climate&lt;/a&gt; or animals on &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/factory-farming&#34;&gt;factory farms&lt;/a&gt;, but it&#39;s another matter when it comes to relating these impacts directly to your own consumption habits. This is where the calculator comes in.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first question the calculator asks is whether you eat meat. If you answer yes, the calculator displays three predetermined average values for the amount of poultry, pork and beef in ounces you consume in a week. These figures—based on information taken from a &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-availability-per-capita-data-system/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;USDA database&lt;/a&gt;—represent the national average for Americans and can be adjusted accordingly. The calculator then asks you to fill in what percentage of meat you would be willing to replace with vegetarian food in your diet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;This is where things get interesting. Based on further USDA statistics, the calculator displays the direct impact your dietary decision could have over the course of a decade. This information comes in two parts. The first set of figures shows how much water, CO2 and &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/antibiotics&#34;&gt;antibiotics&lt;/a&gt; would be spared by committing to your change in diet. The calculator also displays an infographic that represents the number of pigs, cows and chickens you would save from the slaughtering block.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;What difference can this make to your habits, you may wonder? It comes down to shifting perspectives. Using the averages of the calculator, I committed to a 60 percent reduction over the next decade. By crunching the numbers, the calculator revealed the full impact my dietary decision could have on both my own wellbeing as well as the environment and animals (the latter two often require an imaginative leap that our stomachs—and cognitive dissonance—help us overlook).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now the next time I&#39;m tempted to eat a burger or a steak, I will be able to picture the cumulative impact of my decision. It&#39;s easy enough to dismiss the choices we make on a daily basis, but it becomes a lot harder when you start to consider the difference your decisions alone can make over a long period of time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In order to do something I don&#39;t want to do, I need a good incentive. Ignorance might be bliss, but knowledge is power. Now that I understand the full impact of what I decide to eat for every meal, it has become a lot easier to avoid temptation. This change in behavior may not seem significant at first, but as the calculator helped me to realize, every little bit counts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Want to eat less meat?

	In car-obsessed <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/germany">Germany</a>, the government is considering free public 
	<a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/transportation">transportation</a> in some of its most polluted cities to reduce road traffic and <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/emissions">emissions</a> from private vehicles.
</p><p style="">
	"We are considering public transport free of charge in order to reduce the number of private cars," three ministers wrote in a letter to EU environment commissioner Karmenu Vella in Brussels.
</p>
            </div>
            <div class="js-appear-on-expand">
                <script type="keep-reading-content">
                        &lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	&#34;Effectively fighting &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/air-pollution&#34;&gt;air pollution&lt;/a&gt; without any further unnecessary delays is of the highest priority for Germany,&#34; the ministers added.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	A trial of the proposal is planned for the cities of Bonn, Essen, Herrenberg, Reutlingen and Mannheim &#34;at the end of the year at the latest.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	The letter was signed by German Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks, Agriculture Minister Christian Schmidt and Chief of Staff of the Federal Chancellery Peter Altmaier.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	According to 
	&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/feb/14/german-cities-to-trial-free-public-transport-to-cut-pollution&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;AFP&lt;/a&gt;, which first reported on the letter, other proposed measures include further restrictions on emissions from vehicle fleets like buses and taxis, low-emissions zones and support for car-sharing schemes.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.dw.com/en/germany-considering-free-public-transportation-to-take-on-air-pollution/a-42574053&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;DW&lt;/a&gt; reported that some of the cities selected for the free public transportation trials were unclear about the specifics of the proposal.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	&#34;It&#39;s not in the planning phase yet,&#34; a spokeswoman with the city of Bonn told DW. Rollout dates have yet to be announced and the federal government did not specify about how it will subsidize the free public transportation.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;But Bonn Mayor Ashok Sridharan, who was informed about the government&#39;s plans over the weekend, said he was happy his city was selected as one of the &#34;lead cities.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	&#34;We also have one or two ideas that we can also propose, since we&#39;ve been working on this topic for some time,&#34; Sridharan told DW.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	As the AFP noted, the proposal comes just over two years after 
	&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/volkswagen&#34;&gt;Volkswagen&#39;s&lt;/a&gt; &#34;dieselgate&#34; &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/the-volkswagen-scandal-we-have-been-here-before-1882102255.html&#34;&gt;emissions cheating scandal&lt;/a&gt;. The German company was forced to pay billions in fines and helped prompt its plans to &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/volkswagen-electric-2484839450.html&#34;&gt;electrify much of its fleet&lt;/a&gt;. Other carmakers, including fellow German brand Daimler, have since faced their own emissions scandals.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	Last year, Volkswagen, Daimler and BMW announced a €500 million ($593 million) plan to upgrade more than 5 million newer diesel cars in Germany and offer trade-in rebates on older models. They have also agreed to pay into a public transit fund to reduce diesel pollution.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	The government &#34;should make sure that the car manufacturers finance the emergency measure&#34; of free transport, 
	&lt;a href=&#34;http://greenpeace.org&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Greenpeace&lt;/a&gt; told AFP.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	Environment ministry spokesman Stefan Gabriel Haufe 
	&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.reuters.com/article/us-germany-emissions-autos/free-public-transport-no-substitute-for-vehicle-changes-germany-says-idUSKCN1FY1EN&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;clarified Wednesday&lt;/a&gt; that the measure is not intended to help the car industry pay for cleaning up its polluting cars already on the road.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	&#34;In the long run, you can&#39;t reduce excess emissions levels in cities unless you cut nitrogen emissions from diesel engines,&#34; he said at a news conference. &#34;We have seen speculations that we would like to reduce the burden on the car industry. That is absolutely not the case.&#34;

	By Rajesh Rajaselvam
</p><p>
	The <a href="https://www.conservation.org/How/Pages/Hotspots.aspx" target="_blank">tropics</a> are home to the greatest diversity of plants and animals on Earth. Yet many of these <a href="http://www.grid.unep.ch/FP2011/step1/pdf/036_Hanson_2009.pdf" target="_blank">hotspots are in war zones</a> that disregard the rules of democracy and nurture an indefinite influence of corruption.
</p><p>
	During the 10 years I've worked in tropical countries, I have seen the human toll on <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/biodiversity">biodiversity</a> both <a href="http://www.nature.com/articles/430141a" target="_blank">exaggerated and underplayed by scientists and media</a>. Rare road kills of leopards in Sri Lanka have been mistakenly exaggerated as "organized <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/poaching">poaching</a>," and the systematic smuggling of reptiles in South America and Africa has been distorted as "random attempts."
</p>
            </div>
            <div class="js-appear-on-expand">
                <script type="keep-reading-content">
                        &lt;p&gt;
	Preserving biodiversity in these areas is a real challenge for scientists and conservationists. They collect reliable data, create robust models and project the fate of biodiversity hot spots, but without real access to these locations, practical &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/conservation&#34;&gt;conservation&lt;/a&gt; strategies remain out of reach.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Only an effective network of scientists, local governments and people, conservation groups and honest media can create a clear picture of this biodiversity crisis and work towards a solution.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can humans and nature coexist?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Instead of spending enormous amounts of money on &#34;&lt;a href=&#34;https://nypost.com/2016/11/29/the-federal-government-keeps-wasting-money-on-absurd-things/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;absurd research&lt;/a&gt;&#34; and &lt;a href=&#34;https://conservationbytes.com/2008/07/30/wasting-precious-money-on-the-conservation-irrelevant/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;conservation-irrelevant&lt;/a&gt; work, let&#39;s put the dollars towards supporting those living in these bio-diverse hotspots. This would allow them to improve their living conditions and to serve as guardians who keep a watchful eye on poachers.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Already some local governments rely on their villagers to stop &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/wildlife&#34;&gt;wildlife&lt;/a&gt; crimes. For example, Tibetan villagers assigned to protect local wildlife have &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.rfa.org/english/news/tibet/poachers-01152016154558.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;captured poachers&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	But elsewhere, local people are being evicted in the name of wildlife conservation. More than 200,000 people are to be relocated so that &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.bbc.com/news/world-south-asia-38909512&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Kaziranga National Park in India&lt;/a&gt; can expand its boundaries to give its &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/tigers&#34;&gt;tigers&lt;/a&gt; and endangered Indian &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/rhino&#34;&gt;rhinos&lt;/a&gt; more space. The government says this will help forest rangers deal with poachers and keep innocent villagers from being caught up in the conflict.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	But hard-line approaches like this should be directed towards the poachers—not forest dwellers. For the most part, those who live in wild areas harvest only the resources they require. &lt;a href=&#34;https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/12/131222-amazon-kayapo-indigenous-tribes-deforestation-environment-climate-rain-forest/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;They look after the forest&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	This coexistence between people and land is necessary to conserve nature. Governments shouldn&#39;t oust people to conserve nature, but involve them in ecotourism, the conservation decision-making process and proposed management strategies.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Rural Hindus and Buddhists in South Asia consider &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/r/rhesus-macaque/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;monkeys sacred&lt;/a&gt; and protect them. If not, even the hardy species like &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/12560/0&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;macaques&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.worldwildlife.org/species/asian-elephant&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Asian elephants&lt;/a&gt; might go extinct.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sincere effort is vital.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	The political leaders and governments of tropical nations should be encouraged to keep their international reputations by respecting conservation obligations. This can be guaranteed if developed countries provide adequate and performance-based financing. When forest-dwellers can support themselves, they&#39;ll be more willing to help conserve the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/forests&#34;&gt;forests&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Nature&#39;s ecosystem services, such as water purification, pest control and storm buffering, must be more greatly valued than the cash crops that destroy forests and other habitats.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.iied.org/markets-payments-for-environmental-services&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Paying farmers and land owners&lt;/a&gt; for managing their lands to provide ecosystem services definitely pays off. When local communities have confidence in practical strategies, such as &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.iied.org/paying-local-communities-for-ecosystem-services-chimpanzee-conservation-corridor&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;incentives for conserving and restoring&lt;/a&gt; forest habitats, then corruption can be minimized and eventually eliminated.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	When coupled with regulations, market-based strategies can also help local residents conserve nature.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	In Indonesia, Malaysia and Myanmar, land-owners are tempted to clear land to plant oil palm to meet the high demand for &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/palm-oil&#34;&gt;palm oil&lt;/a&gt;. Some have suggested that high-yielding varieties might remove the pressure, but others argue that, in the absence of regulation, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nature.com/news/a-makeover-for-the-world-s-most-hated-crop-1.21634&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;it will only become more attractive to farmers&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	This coupling has worked elsewhere. For example, &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.nature.com/news/stopping-deforestation-battle-for-the-amazon-1.17223&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;the moratorium&lt;/a&gt; signed between the local soybean exporting companies in Brazil and the foreign supermarket chains in 2006 significantly reduced clearing forest lands.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spread the word.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Finally, governments, environmental NGOs and research institutes should introduce outreach activities that teach children about conservation.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	The principles of biodiversity conservation should be made compulsory in all schools, especially in the countries where it&#39;s a serious concern. This will positively impact students to form strong commitments towards conservation, thus creating a positive atmosphere to nature.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Conservation cannot exist only on paper—it must be translated into practical tasks that can be embraced by those most affected by its future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed&#34;&gt;

Will The Atlantic agree to host a &#34;transforming health&#34; event sponsored by Phillip Morris or a &#34;transforming climate&#34; event sponsored by ExxonMobil?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maybe. In 2015, The Atlantic &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.theatlantic.com/live/events/food-summit/2015/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Food Summit&lt;/a&gt; was underwritten by Elanco, a division of Eli Lilly that makes ractopamine, a growth-promoting chemical used in meat production that is &lt;a href=&#34;http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debate/2015/03/30/if-you-eat-meat-in-the-united-states-buyer-beware/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;banned in 100 countries&lt;/a&gt; due to health concerns, but still used here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As Tom Philpott &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.motherjones.com/food/2015/11/pharma-exec-meat-industry-critics-youre-lunatic-fringe/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;reported in Mother Jones&lt;/a&gt;, Elanco&#39;s President Jeff Simmons delivered a sponsored speech at the event, in which &#34;he complained that a group he labeled the &#39;fringe 1 percent,&#39; agitating for increased regulation on meat producers, is driving the national debate around food.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Simmons&#39; &lt;a href=&#34;https://youtu.be/BHc7q8YBZFQ?list=PLwj46yNDLyTUeT0KBp3TZtb-TXXt9YJV4&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;15-minute speech&lt;/a&gt; featured an emotional video of a mother who attended an Elanco/American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics program and learned about &#34;the importance of protein&#34; and eating more meat as a way to improve her family&#39;s health.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Purchasing the Food Narrative&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;With its rent-a-food-summit model, The Atlantic is helping corporations shape how we think about our food system. That is fundamentally incompatible with The Atlantic&#39;s guiding commitment to &#34;look for the truth.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;All the brands participating in this week&#39;s &#34;Transforming Food&#34; event—Food Tank, Land O&#39;Lakes and New Harvest, too—are giving DowDuPont cover to present themselves as champions of science while framing the food debate around the technologies they sell.&lt;/p&gt;

                <p>By Dan Nosowitz</p><p>The <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/trump-watch/">Trump</a> administration has waged <a href="https://modernfarmer.com/2017/07/trump-snap-benefit-cuts/" target="_blank">war on SNAP</a>, better known as food stamps, since taking office, but a program buried in the 2019 budget proposal is the most brazen attack yet.</p><p>SNAP is the largest program funded by the USDA, with about half of the organization's $141 billion budget going to the program that feeds about 14 percent of the country. The Trump administration <a href="https://modernfarmer.com/2018/01/usda-chief-signals-new-snap-restrictions-early-farm-bill-discussions/" target="_blank">has already implied</a> that it will begin making it harder for people to get aid for <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/food/">food</a>, but this is … something else.</p>
            </div>
            <div class="js-appear-on-expand">
                <script type="keep-reading-content">
                        &lt;p&gt;Buried in the 2019 budget proposal is &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-12/trump-budget-swaps-food-stamps-for-100-percent-american-food&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;a barely-baked plan&lt;/a&gt; to replace half of the money that would normally go to SNAP benefits, which recipients can use at the grocery store or farmers market, with a &#34;&lt;a href=&#34;https://modernfarmer.com/2016/11/meal-kit-blue-apron-meal-delivery-service/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Blue Apron-type&#34; box of food&lt;/a&gt;. Each &#34;America&#39;s Harvest Box,&#34; as they&#39;re being called, would include exclusively non-perishable items, like cereal, powdered milk, canned fruits and vegetables, and tinned meat and fish. The proposal says that these shelf-stable foods will be &#34;100 percent U.S. grown and produced,&#34; and that it would save $129 billion over the next ten years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where do we start?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For one thing, there&#39;s been no discussion of how these boxes would be distributed, nor has the USDA included any estimates of delivery costs. The USDA released a statement saying simply that &#34;States can distribute these boxes through existing infrastructure, partnerships, and/or directly to residences through commercial and/or retail delivery services.&#34; There are also no details on whether states would receive additional funding to cover these costs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The proposal would also completely remove the macroeconomic benefits of SNAP. SNAP is &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/food-nutrition-assistance/supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program-snap/economic-linkages/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;one of the most efficient economic stimulus programs&lt;/a&gt; in the entire government; every dollar spent via SNAP begets about $1.73 in economic value. (Put simply, giving people money to spend on food triggers a favorable chain reaction: they spend that money at stores and farms, who hire employees, who in turn spend more money in the community.) Additionally, the SNAP program has a fraud rate of just 1.5 percent—&lt;a href=&#34;http://time.com/4711668/history-food-stamp-fraud/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;an all-time low&lt;/a&gt; that can mostly be attributed to the move from physical food stamps to an electronic system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most importantly, this is a not-even-thinly veiled attack on the poor, completely removing their ability to control even the most basic parts of their lives. Currently, SNAP benefits can be used to buy fresh produce, meat and dairy, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/eligible-food-items&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;even food-producing seeds and plants&lt;/a&gt;. Exactly what to buy is up to the person in question: those with allergies, religious dietary restrictions, picky kids—or just someone who wants to make their own choice about what to have for dinner—can choose their own groceries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Additionally, relying on shelf-stable products and claiming it&#39;s a better way to ensure SNAP recipients are getting nutritious meals is insulting. &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.doubleupfoodbucks.org/national-network/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;There are plenty of programs&lt;/a&gt; that get healthy, fresh products to those in need, and this proposal instead replaces good, real food—and the economic benefits that come from supporting small producers—with packaged, commodity foods.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Farmers markets, and the small growers who sell there, have been huge beneficiaries of the SNAP program; the number of markets that accept SNAP &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.fns.usda.gov/pressrelease/2013/fns-000813&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;has quadrupled&lt;/a&gt; over the past few years, and USDA data shows that SNAP is a highly efficient way to provide economic stimulus to small &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/farming&#34;&gt;farms&lt;/a&gt;. All of that would go away with this plan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;About the only good thing about this proposal is &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/12/food-stamps-trump-administration-343245&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;the total thud with which it landed&lt;/a&gt;; it not only seems impossible to achieve in terms of infrastructure and cost, but it&#39;s incredibly unpopular.&lt;/p&gt;

                <p>
<a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/scott-pruitt">Scott Pruitt</a>, the administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (<a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/epa">EPA</a>), has a "blanket waiver" to take taxpayer-funded first-class flights due to unspecified security reasons.
</p><p>
	"Due to security concerns he has a blanket waiver to fly in first or business class," an EPA spokesman told 
	<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/epas-scott-pruitt-got-waiver-to-fly-business-class-on-non-u-s-carrier-from-italy-to-u-s/" target="_blank">CBS News</a>. When he travels, the agency follows "the recommendations of security personnel."

            <div class="js-appear-on-expand">
                <script type="keep-reading-content">
                        &lt;p&gt;
	The 
	&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/first-class-travel-distinguishes-scott-pruitts-epa-tenure/2018/02/11/5bb89afc-0b7d-11e8-8b0d-891602206fb7_story.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Washington Post&lt;/a&gt; reported earlier this week that during a two-week stretch in June, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/trump-watch&#34;&gt;President Trump&lt;/a&gt;&#39;s EPA head racked up at least $90,000 in taxpayer-funded travel. One of Pruitt&#39;s short domestic trips from Washington, DC to New York was booked first class for $1,600—six times the amount spent on the two media aides who came along and sat in coach.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Pruitt regularly flies first class and brings his 
	&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/epa-pruitt-bodyguards-2500198933.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;infamous 24/7 security detail&lt;/a&gt; along with him. While the costs of their travel have not been made available, their salaries alone cost at least &lt;a href=&#34;https://edition.cnn.com/2017/10/23/politics/epa-pruitt-security-costs/index.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;$2 million per year&lt;/a&gt;. No other administrator has needed &#39;round-the-clock security but Pruitt has reportedly received more death threats than any other EPA chief.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Federal regulations call for government travelers to &#34;consider the least expensive class of travel that meets their needs&#34; but can use first class for security or medical reasons.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Meanwhile, President Trump&#39;s 
	&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/trump-budget-proposal-2534464104.html&#34;&gt;latest budget proposal&lt;/a&gt; would slash EPA funding to its lowest level since 1990. As House Democrats noted in a &lt;a href=&#34;https://twitter.com/HouseDemocrats/status/963172345828593666&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;tweet&lt;/a&gt;, &#34;The Trump administration wants to cut EPA&#39;s budget by 34 percent, including cuts to &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/climate-change/&#34;&gt;climate change&lt;/a&gt; initiatives and the Office of Science and Technology. But first-class flights apparently are a &#39;core activity&#39; for Scott Pruitt.&#34; &lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed&#34;&gt;
&lt;iframe class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;DQ2HF01518620986&#34; frameborder=&#34;0&#34; height=&#34;150&#34; id=&#34;twitter-embed-963172345828593666&#34; scrolling=&#34;no&#34; src=&#34;/res/community/twitter_embed/?iframe_id=twitter-embed-963172345828593666&amp;amp;created_ts=1518473156.0&amp;amp;screen_name=HouseDemocrats&amp;amp;text=The+Trump+administration+wants+to+cut+%40EPA%E2%80%99s+budget+by+34%25%2C+including+cuts+to+%23ClimateChange+initiatives+and+the+Of%E2%80%A6+https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2FavjZVjoeUH&amp;amp;id=963172345828593666&amp;amp;name=House+Democrats&#34; width=&#34;100%&#34;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Previous EPA administrators usually refrained from such premium bookings. Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana also questioned Pruitt&#39;s expensive flights.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	 &#34;I&#39;m sure there&#39;s some situations in terms of security where an upgrade may be appropriate,&#34; Kennedy told CBS News. &#34;But I think as a general rule, except for the president and the VP or if you&#39;re paying for it yourself, you ought to fly coach.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Pruitt confirmed to the 
	&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.unionleader.com/politics/epas-scott-pruitt-blames-security-concerns-for-costly-first-class-flights-20180213&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;New Hampshire Union Leader&lt;/a&gt; that he flew first class from the Washington metro area to Boston to reach New Hampshire on Tuesday.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	He explained that the waivers for the more expensive flights were the result of security concerns.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&#34;Unfortunately ... we&#39;ve had some incidents on travel dating back to when I first started serving in the March-April timeframe,&#34; he told the newspaper.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&#34;We live in a very toxic environment politically, particularly around issues of the environment,&#34; Pruitt continued. &#34;We&#39;ve reached the point where there&#39;s not much civility in the marketplace and it&#39;s created, you know, it&#39;s created some issues and the (security) detail, the level of protection is determined by the level of threat.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&#34;I&#39;m not involved in any of those decisions&#34; to fly first class, he said. &#34;Those are all made by the (security) detail.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed&#34;&gt;
