Climate change is likely to further the spread of a "deadly dozen" diseases that are transmitted from animals to humans, says a new report from the Wildlife Conservation Society. The nasties: avian flu , babesiosis, cholera, Ebola, Lyme disease, parasites, plague, red tide, Rift Valley fever, sleeping sickness, tuberculosis, and yellow fever. Whee! "The term 'climate change' conjures images of melting ice caps and rising sea levels that threaten coastal cities and nations," says WCS head Steven Sanderson, "but just as important is how increasing temperatures and fluctuating precipitation levels will change the distribution of dangerous pathogens." The spread of disease could impact human, wildlife, and economic health, says the report, which suggests that wildlife be better monitored to track the spread of disease. Tasmanian devils and amphibians are, sadly, currently providing excellent case studies. sources: National Geographic News , Reuters , ScienceDaily , Agence France-Presse , BBC News ...

The 'Afghanistan: hidden treasures from the National Museum, Kabul' website was published to accompany an exhibition of the same title, held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC from 25 May to 7 September, 2008, in association with the National Geographic Society and the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco. The exhibition explored the cultural significance of over 200 artefacts that were discovered in a vault under the Presidential Palace in Kabul in 2004, and which are now the property of the National Museum of Afghanistan. Drawn from four archaeological sites and "ranging in date from 2200 BC to AD 200, the objects present a rich mosaic of Afghanistan's cultural heritage." The website features an introductory video, maps with images and video clips of sculpture and jewellery, a timeline of treasures, and extensive related material from National Geographic. The timeline divides the objects by the following archaeological sites: Tepe Fullol (2200 BC-1900 BC); Balkh (600 BC-300 BC); Ai Khanum (300 BC-146 BC); Tillya Tepe (100 BC-1st century AD); and Begram (1 AD-200 AD). ...

(Photo by Kolby ) In 1888, 33 explorers and scientists gathered in Washington, D.C., with a mission to create "a Society for the increase and diffusion of Geographic knowledge." The result of that meeting was the National Geographic Society , which celebrates its 120th anniversary this year. National Geographic is near and dear to my heart for a variety of reasons, but mostly for the realms of discovery it's provided for me since childhood. Not only was the Society's magazine the sole delight I could look forward to while visiting various doctors' offices, but its photography , cultural travel , and science articles have been a never-ending source of eye candy and brain manna. The periodical opened up the entire world for Western populations, long before mass media and the Internet were available. Today it has blossomed into dozens of publications and news channels across the planet -- including the glorious National Geographic Channel in HD . But, not to forget the original intent of this organization -- to explore and discover -- here are but a few fruits of the Society's myriad labors: Discovery of Canada's highest peak, Mount Logan Support of the first successful expedition to the North Pole Excavations of Machu Picchu NGS flags flew along with John Glenn on America's first orbital space flight, as well as to the moon on Apollo 11 And in what may have provided the inspiration for my own college aspirations, the National Geographic ...

A federal judge in Washington has ordered the National Marine Fisheries Service to reinstate rules aimed at protecting right whales, humpbacks and fin whales from becoming fatally entanged in fishing gear. The court issued a preliminary injunction Friday in a lawsuit brought by Defenders of Wildlife and the Humane Society of the United States. For details on the groups' lawsuit and their concern about fishing gear trapping and killing whales, go here. Right whales were hunted almost to extinction for their oil and their baleens, which once provided the support in corsets. For more background on right whales, which migrate along our Atlantic coast, I recommend an article by Douglas Chadwick in this month's issue of National Geographic . The photos by Brian Skerry are not to be missed, either. The one at right is not his, but from NOAA. ...
