	Florida's Exotic Freshwater Fishes
		Since nearly all of these exotic fishes are tropical species native to Central and South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, the most important factor limiting their range in Florida is their intolerance to low water temperatures.
		Even though the presence of many exotic species might be viewed as being more symptomatic than problematic, the potential for these fishes to detrimentally affect native species is and has been a major concern to the Division of Freshwater Fisheries for more than 40 years.
		In native range found in ponds, canals, ditches, rice-fields, and swamps and is reported to survive in moist mud during dry season.

	The Colonization of Hawaii
		Therefore, it is not surprising that the native Hawaiian discourse of tourism is different from the United States' capitalist discourse of tourism.
		Native Hawaiians continue to suffer the aftermath of colonization, a capitalist economy thriving on tourism being exemplary.
		Consequently, native Hawaiians had little to do with the growth of tourism and the development of the mythical paradise except for the symbols they produced.

		While all three species had multiple vectors of introduction, both accidental and intentional, the main pathways of kudzu and purple loosestrife were certainly intentional.
		More than 2200 different species introductions have been recorded in the survey areas, and the researchers note that is most likely an underestimate, since few of the territories have completed full inventories.
		The paperweights are an outreach effort of the 100th Meridian Initiative, a project with the goal of keeping zebra mussels and other invasive aquatic species from spreading west of the 100' longitude line that divides North America.

	Hong Kong
		It is estimated that the seizure is worth over $3.2 million and it is the largest seizure of live turtles in Hong Kong.
		Ades explained, ‘obviously the turtles were wild caught as many of them have fish hooks still attached to their mouths and we know that many of the species are not being farmed.
		With this huge number of different turtle species taken away from wild, the damage to the species’ wild populations and disturbance to the ecological balance have already been done.

		Hong Kong supposedly has restaurants serving all of the world's cuisines, but I never found or ate anything other than Chinese, Thai, and American fast food.
		Hong Kong is scaled ten times larger than San Francisco in population, with 6-7 million people in only 1100 sq.
		Hong Kong has so little land (people pay up to $12,000/sq.ft for it), that cemetery space is limited.

		Numerous other species impact the native plant communities by shading out desirable vegetation thereby decreasing native plant diversity and abundance, impeding water flow or drainage or forming impenetrable thickets which impede wildlife and human traffic and viewing opportunities.
		The primary method of control employed on the refuge is the safe application of herbicides that target the individual exotic plant species.
		Using this controlled method and by spraying individual plants, non-target damage to desirable plant species and wildlife is avoided.

	Migratory Bird Treaty Act under Attack
		Species such as the Nicobar pigeon and the Luzon Bleeding-Heart need global cooperation to survive.
		Bird species that are protected in other range states under their domestic laws could be killed when traveling through the U.S., undermining diligent efforts abroad to protect these same species at other times of the year.
		Further, no comprehensive, peer-reviewed study has been undertaken to conclude that any or all of the species that would be impacted by H.R. 4114 pose a threat to other species or the ecosystem in which they live.

	Kumquat
		They were described in Chinese literature in 1178 A.D. A European writer in 1646 mentioned the fruit as having been described to him by a Portuguese missionary who had labored 22 years in China.
		In 1712, kumquats were included in a list of plants cultivated in Japan.
		The trees differ also from other Citrus species in that they enter into a period of winter dormancy so profound that they will remain through several weeks of subsequent warm weather without putting out new shoots or blossoms.

	10,000 Birds - March 2005
		The female of the species is as predictably drab as any dame duck, but wields a wing bar of such flashing electric emerald that one suspects it might be battery powered.
		More specifically, rodent populations likely fluctuate across this species’ typical winter range, thus forcing birds south from areas where rodent populations are low, but allowing birds to remain farther north in areas where rodent populations are ample.
		The loss of even a single bird species is tragic, yet if there is any comfort, it may be that nature possesses secrets we've yet to learn and unfolds them passing slowly.

	Manson, Cites
		Although the terms of reference for the review of the listing criteria specifically called for a consensus report to be developed by the Chairs of the Animals and Plants Committees for COP12, the Chairs were unable to reach consensus on the revisions.
		Once a species is added to Appendix III, the countries that list the species are required to issue permits and ensure that specimens are legally acquired; non-listing range countries must issue certificates of origin; and importing countries are required to ensure that all shipments are accompanied by the appropriate CITES documents.
		Proposals to include this species in CITES Appendix II were submitted at COP8 and COP10 with the United States as a co-sponsor with Costa Rica and Bolivia, respectively, and at COP9 by the Netherlands.

		Hong Kong is a great place to hike.
		80% of Hong Kong's 400 square miles is too steep and mountainous to be developed so it has remained in a relatively wild state.
		Hong Kong also has an amazing fauna and flora, with dozens of native butterfly species, several strange mammals, and more tree species than in the United Kingdom.

		However, this extensive native population was mismanaged and trapped out--decimated by the 1930’s, with fewer than 40 river otters surviving.
		As with so many species, river otters played a critical role in the balance of nature in Missouri’s rivers and streams.
		The Missouri Department of Conservation instituted an annual, two-month trapping season (three-month in some parts of the state) where unlimited numbers of river otters are trapped and killed.

	IISD Linkages - Media Reports - Biodiversity and Wildlife
		UNEP, the Convention on Migratory Species and the African Eurasian Waterbird Agreement are launching a campaign to reverse the public perception, often supported by inaccurate media coverage, that migratory birds are responsible for the spread of avian influenza, and promote awareness on the importance of bird migrations for ecosystem functioning.
		This was the message of the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights and fundamental freedoms of indigenous people, Rodolfo Stavenhagen, during a meeting of the Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Committee (the “Third Committee”) of the General Assembly on 20 October 2005.
		Researchers argued that simply counting species numbers and assessing their risk of extinction does not give a detailed indication of how intact the natural world is as a result of human activities.

		When natives living further from the area made a trip to the farming community, they discovered that it had "vanished" together with 3 of its surrounding villages.
		The top virologists and epidemiologists from Britain, Hong Kong, Japan and the United States were scheduled to work with Vietnamese scientists until the middle of next week.
		In the weekly OIE report the 519 were again listed but the report indicated that the virus isolated from the birds was H5N1 and was highly pathogenic in laboratory infected chickens.
