When it comes to protected areas, less really can mean more
Thomas Brooks, a biologist with NatureServe, a conservation group based in Arlington, Virginia, has long been fighting to preserve biodiversity in the Philippines. Quite often it can feel like a lost cause. Conservation efforts in the country have struggled against ever greater deforestation and decades of environmental neglect. You might think that, when Mr Brooks heard that the Philippine government is considering opening some of its protected areas to mining, it would have been the last straw. Instead, it was an occasion for hope.
According to Theresa Mundita Lim, Director of the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau of the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources, who made the announcement at a meeting of the Convention on Biological Diversity in Nairobi, the move on mining is part of a larger strategy to improve how much biodiversity the government protects. By cutting spending on areas that are lower-priority and instead putting the money where it will be more effective in protecting nature, she hopes to get more impact out of the limited conservation funds available. …

A setback for Chris Dodd and other Democrats in America’s Senate is only that
“HERE we are 17 months after someone broke into our house, in effect, and robbed us, and we still haven’t even changed the locks on the doors,” says Chris Dodd (pictured above), the architect of the Senate’s financial reform bill. For the time being, it appears that the Senate will delay hiring a locksmith. On April 26th senators voted against debating the financial reform bill, with Republicans opposing debate until revisions are made. This is disappointing for Democrats, who were hoping to pass financial reform before moving on to other issues, such as immigration and energy.
Financial reform may be delayed for now, but the bill is sure to pass in some form. Republican hostility to financial reform is waning. Voters generally support action to curb what they see as Wall Street’s excessive risk-taking. Richard Shelby, the highest-ranking Republican member on the Senate’s Banking Committee, says Republicans are trying to “tighten language” and improve “two or three things” in the bill, which hardly sounds like a man clearing his throat for a filibuster …
