SENATE KILLS WASTEFUL SPENDING ON CORN ETHANOL SUBSIDIES -- The 73-27 Senate vote today reflects a strong sentiment to end the wasteful $6 billion a year subsidy for corn ethanol and the tariff on imported ethanol -- http://www.nrdc.org/media/2011/110616a.asp
ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT PROTECTION REINSTATED FOR WEST VIRGINIA NORTHERN FLYING SQUIRREL -- As a result of a lawsuit brought by a coalition of conservation groups, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced today it is restoring endangered species protection to the West Virginia northern flying squirrel -- http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/news/press_releases/2011/west-virginia-northern-flying-squirrel-06-16-2011.html
ENDANGERED COOK INLET BELUGA WHALE GAINS NEARLY 2 MILLION ACRES OF PROTECTED HABITAT -- The National Marine Fisheries Service today put the endangered Cook Inlet beluga whale on the road to recovery by designating 1,928,320 acres (3,013 square miles) of critical habitat in upper Cook Inlet for the rare white whales under the Endangered Species Act. Today’s rule finalizes critical habitat first proposed in December 2009, following a notice of intent to sue by the Center for Biological Diversity. Once habitat is designated, federal agencies are prohibited from taking any actions that may “adversely modify” it — that is, affect its ability to support the species it’s intended to protect. Species with critical habitat have been found to be more than twice as likely to be recovering, and less than half as likely to be declining, as those without it -- http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/news/press_releases/2011/cook-inlet-beluga-04-08-2011.html
