Study Shows Low-emission Cars Less Expensive than Polluters
As electric and hybrid cars steadily become more popular, MIT thought they would double check the numbers and see just how economic low-emission cars are.
Since these scaly creatures are poached for their hide and meat, the government is stepping up to prevent any further harm to the pangolin.
Delegates at a U.N. wildlife convention have voted to ban the trade of all eight species of Asian and African pangolins.
Yesterday at the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora meeting, delegates voted to protect the ant-eating mammal, which is heavily poached for its scales and meat.
The decision will likely be approved at a plenary session next week.
Previously, the delegates required control on the Asian pangolin trade, but now commercial trade will be prohibited entirely (Christopher Torchia, AP/Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Sept. 28).
