Rental Tiger Program Started
When ministers from 13 nations sit down this week to talk about ways to save dwindling tiger populations, one proposal is sure to get lots of attention: Renting out tigers in order to raise money for conservation.
That's what Indonesia is planning to do with some its few remaining Sumatran tigers, but the idea has drawn scorn from environmental activists, who say it's the wrong approach to conservation.
Tiger "adoption" — where a pair can be rented out as pets in exchange for a 1 billion rupiah ($107,100) deposit — could help curb illegal hunting and trade, a forestry ministry official said.
Rent a tiger from Indonesia, rent a cell phone from Yoyoor :)
China Has Open Mind on Climate
China's lead climate change negotiator has said he was keeping an "open attitude" as to whether global warming was man-made or due to natural cycles.
Xie Zhenhua said climate warming was a "solid fact" and that mainstream scientific opinion held it was due to emissions of gases such as CO2.
He was speaking in Delhi at a meeting of envoys from Brazil, China, India and South Africa.
