Some cut the red tape, some go on the Red list

Hello world,
I have good news and bad news from Sweden. The good news is that some native species have gotten off the Swedish Red list, and the bad news is that some have gotten on. The Red list is a compilation of all the species in Sweden that are considered not viable populations. The most receint edition was published by the Swedish Species Information Centre. Happily, the wolf, lynx wolverine, wels catfish, and asp have been given a less critical standing, while the brown bear, fire bellied toad, European tree frog and the edible frog have viable populations now. Sadly, the whiting, lumpfish, burbot, eel, piked dogfish, Swedish freshwater crayfish, ash tree and elm tree are on the List. Hopefully, the conservation tactics that worked to get some species off will work for the rest.

AWOOOGA! AWOOGA! Dead Zone in the making!

Hello world,
As we all know, an oil well off the coast of mexico began leaking oil recently. The oil is spreading into the gulf and wildlife conservationists are worried about the life in the area. They're especially worried about the microlife. They think the oil spill will kill it all off, creating a dead zone, where there is no life. It may also kill off the wetlands which keep america from wearing away. There's some hope for the plankton, though; the last time this happened, the plankton were back in a couple of years. The dead zone is still possible though.
