A science writer for the New Yorker known for his ‘dark biology’ series of books about biological warfare and killer viruses, Richard Preston has written extensively about the fearful power of nature, especially when unleashed by human ignorance, arrogance and greed. ‘The Wild Trees,’ which began as a story in the magazine, is also a cautionary tale, about the destruction of the forests, and especially forest canopies, where half of all species on earth are thought to exist. But really it’s a love story — about love of nature and discovery, of tree climbing, and of botanists for each other. It’s so beautifully written that I found myself reading it out loud...

Indonesia's rainforests - especially those on Borneo island - are being stripped so rapidly because of illegal logging and palm oil plantations for biofuels that they could be wiped out altogether within 15 years, some environmentalists say.

Die Stadt Bonn ist Mitglied im Klimabündnis und in vielen Bereichen bemüht, sich für Klima- und Umweltschutz zu engagieren. Trotzdem will Bonn jetzt Gabunsperrholz für das Theater kaufen, das mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit aus Raubbau stammt und noch nicht einmal FSC-zertifiziert ist. Satellitenfotos belegen, dass industrieller Holzeinschlag in Zentralafrika die Hauptursache für großflächige Regenwaldzerstörung ist. Bitte protestieren Sie bei Oberbürgermeisterin Bärbel Dieckmann und anderen Verantwortlichen in Bonn! (Start: 04.06.2007)
