China Is Destroying Ocean Life In South China Sea




China has been killing turtles, coral and giant clams in the South China Sea, tribunal finds
China struck back loudly and forcefully Wednesday after an international tribunal invalidated many of its claims in the South China Sea. But Beijing has largely been silent about some of the tribunal’s most damning findings: that its activities there have “caused devastating and long-lasting damage to the environment.” 
The Permanent Court of Arbitration investigated The Philippines’ claims that China has been doing grave harm to the region’s ecology, in violation of its commitments under the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea. 
The panel of five judges consulted numerous experts, and what they found shocked even them, the tribunal wrote in its final ruling of more than 500 pages. Damage to the coral reefs in the Greater Spratly Islands spread for 48 square miles, and China was responsible for 99% of that, they said.
The tribunal found that China not only failed to prevent Chinese fishing boats from harvesting endangered species – including sea turtles – but also provided armed protection for those vessels. And it concluded that China was “fully aware of” and “actively tolerated” a practice called propeller chopping to harvest endangered giant clams — an activity that basically kills coral reefs.

Palm Oil Firms Ditch 'No Deforestation' Pact in Indonesia

The country, home to the world's third-largest tropical forests, has been criticized on forestry policy and for failing to stop the region's annual smoke "haze" problem from forest-burning. A new study found that the carbon emissions released by the fires in September and October 2015 were higher than those of the entire EU over the same period. 



Dhaka, Istanbul, Fallujah - mapping a caliphate of Islamic State terror

Contrary to bringing a lasting peace, the liberation of Fallujah would more likely worsen the sectarian conflict in Iraq because of the dominant role in the country of neighbouring Iran, the region's Shiite superpower: "The Iranians and their proxies dominate the political arena as they do the battle space, and there will be no outreach to Sunnis".
