BANNER YEAR FOR VIRGINIA EAGLES:

The number of bald eagle pairs
"jumped to 435 in 2003," continuing growth trend from 1977 when surveys
showed "just 33 eagle nests in Virginia" says Fredrickburg.com, AP
10/20. The 20% increase over 2002 was "the biggest jump since the
eagle survey began," although a cool, wet spring was cited as the
reason for a 9% drop in number of chicks produced, the first since
1994.

COCKROACH PROPOSED FOR LISTING:

The NSW Scientific Committee has
recommended that the native-wood feeding cockroach be added to
Australia's endangered species list says the Sydney Morning Herald
10/24. The rare roach is found only on two tiny islets off of Lord
Howe Island and desperately in need of "an image overhaul in a last-
ditch attempt to save it from extinction." "This is really a nice-
looking sort of cockroach" said a threatened species officer, many
people do not "appreciate the need to protect the less telegenic
members of the food chain" but "99% of the creatures out there are
forgotten invertebrates that keep the wheels turning on the whole
ecosystem."
EPA Biologist Resigns in Protest of Wetlands Study

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) biologist, Bruce Boler, has resigned in protest of his agency's acceptance of a developer-financed study concluding that wetlands discharge more pollutants than they absorb, according to a recent statement released by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). EPA's approval of the study gives developers credit for improving water quality by replacing natural wetlands with golf courses and other construction. "In the Bush Administration's bizarre world of 'sound science,' wetlands cause pollution," commented PEER Executive Director, Jeff Ruch

The devastating forest fires raging across Southern California this
week could initiate a change in environmental policy as sweeping --
but probably not as desirable -- as those ushered in by the Exxon
Valdez oil spill and the Three Mile Island nuclear disaster.
Forest-management experts say blame for the fires is widespread, but
the most recent act of neglect lies at the door of the Bush
administration: While (successfully) pushing its Healthy Forests
initiative as a way to prevent forest fires, the White House
simultaneously denied an emergency request by Gov. Gray Davis (D) for
$430 million to remove dead trees from fire-prone areas. The
rejection was issued Oct. 24, six months after the request was made
-- and just hours before the area burst into flames. Now, with two
of the region's most popular destinations threatened by fire, public
sentiment could veer sharply toward more logging and less faith in
environmental groups, which sometimes oppose thinning projects.
