US ecologist calls for satellite to monitor endangered migratory species. 

Dr. David Wilcove of New Jersey’s Princeton University has proposed a monitoring project called ICARUS for migratory species of insects, birds and marine animals. Because migratory species depend on several habitats around the world for their survival, they are more vulnerable to change than species that stay in one place. Dr. Wilcove further states that everyone can help migratory species survive by supporting government leaders who protect the environment as well as maintaining areas of forest in every community.

Egyptian scientists and government officials seek best approach to minimize risk of climate change. 

The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says the densely populated Nile Delta in Egypt is a hotspot vulnerable to climate change.  Mohamed Al-Raey, professor of environmental physics at the University of Alexandria, is one of a group of scientists calling for urgent action.  He says that as many as 1.5 million persons could be displaced from Alexandria alone, as global warming jeopardizes agriculture, industry and tourism in the area.

Greek scientists says their country’s climate could become like Egypt’s.

A study published in the Greek newspaper Ta Nea says that Greece’s higher temperatures relative to other regions mean that global warming will continue to affect the nation. Scientist Dimitris Lalas stated “We have seen an increase of temperatures during the summer by 6-7 degrees Celsius over the past few years, while the average increase in temperatures in other parts of the world have been 3-4 degrees Celsius.”
