Dosar: Romania trebuie sa recicleze 55% din deseuri pana in 2013
Publicat: 3 Iulie 2008 @ 06:26
Colectarea, reciclarea si tratarea deseurilor reprezinta o prioritate si se regaseste si in angajamentele asumate de Romania fata de Uniunea Europeana. Legea 27 din 2007 este actul normativ care obliga romanii sa sorteze deseurile. Problema este ca, deocamdata, nu a fost pus la punct sistemul de colectare selectiva pe intreg teritoriul tarii. Toate autoritatile publice locale au obligatia sa infiinteze, cat mai rapid, un sistem de colectare a deseurilor sortate unde populatia sa poata depozita deseurile menajere.

Hola – stiu ca nu tzine de subiectul postat de tine, mi se pare nostima treaba:) Am citit acum in nature ca niste cercetatori au gasit o specie de reptila care are cel mai ciudat ciclu de viatza in lumea vertebratelor…
Articolasul se poate citi in “Nature” din 3 Iulie, 2008, pagina 4.
The Madagascan chameleon Furcifer labordi has an
annual life cycle, and spends most of its short life in
the egg.
Kristopher Karsten of Oklahoma State University
in Stillwater and his colleagues monitored
individuals from the time of hatching until death
during several cycles. They found that they hatch
in November; grow at astonishing rates; reach
maturity by January; battle fiercely over mates,
breed and lay their eggs by February; and then
promptly drop dead. For the next nine months, the
entire species is represented by eggs.
This is the shortest lifespan ever recorded for a
four-legged vertebrate animal

The genetics of anarchy
Genetics doi: 10.1534/genetics.108.087270 (2008)
A study of honeybee ‘anarchy’ has uncovered
several regions of the genome that influence
cheating behaviour.
Honeybee (Apis mellifera; pictured
right) queens emit a pheromone to ‘switch
off ’ the ovaries of female worker bees, but
some individuals are more sensitive to the
pheromone than others. Those who fail to
respond are branded anarchists because they
disrupt the social order of the hive.

Entomologists jailed for
illegal specimen hunt
Indian scientists are being asked to
help facilitate the release of two Czech
entomologists who have been detained in an
Indian jail since 22 June.
Petr Švácha, of the Institute of
Entomology at the Biology Centre of the
Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic
in České Budějovice, and his colleague Emil
Kučera were arrested for collecting beetles
and butterflies without permission from a
national park in West Bengal, in violation
of the Indian Biodiversity Act. Arguments
are set to be heard on the case on 7 July in
Darjeeling.
Although the Indian media has accused
them of collecting insects for the Chinese
medicine market, the Czechs claim that they
were unaware that collecting insects was
illegal in India. “These people are sincere,
genuine entomologists, and the specimens
that they have collected are of no commercial
value,” says Max Barclay, a senior curator
at the Natural History Museum in London,
who is calling for their release.
Jan Sula, director of the Czech institute,
told Indian authorities that “we believe the
incident resulted from misunderstanding
as both men did not realize that they had
entered the national park”.
Leading invertebrate scientists in India
are planning to submit a joint petition to the
Indian prime minister and the chief minister
of West Bengal to free the researchers.
buna tibi!
bun venit pe blog! prezenta ta – si nu numai – e ff binevenita, asa ca, posteaza cat vrei!
buna idee cu acest ecoblog. E bine ca acesti entomologi cehi nu au savarsit aceasta fapta in Romania, pentru ca interventia directorului institutului Jan Sula ar fi creat mari probleme de pronuntie…prezentatorilor nostri de stiri
