E ‘official: China can legally buy the ivory. The decision came a few hours ago in the meeting of CITES underway Monday in Geneva and which Ecoblog there had given account. As told to ‘AdnKronos Marco Valentini official of the Ministry of Environment has participated in the work:

With nine votes in favour, four against and two abstained the Standing Committee of CITES has admitted China, now next to Japan, purchase of ivory after the showing by the Beijing authorities, measures which prove the traceability of material .

In practice, China can thus buy ivory from South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Botswana comes from elephants that died naturally and can not be sold retail and only in the internal market.

The two magic words of the future without oil: auto electricity and renewable energy. And the Mitsubishi Corp.. and TIT., Tokyo Institute of Technology, have announced that assist in the development of infrastructure systems for charging electric vehicles with renewable sources of energy. In short, are studying distributors of energy that are fed by the wind or sun. The thing but apparently it seems easy, but hides several points complex.

This sort of energy distributors that will form a network of facilities throughout Japan, will use as sources both the light is the sun’s heat, both the wind and that will feed into precisely the new distribution network for vehicles.

In Japan, a young primary school pupil Hinagiku of Moriyama, has found a rare example of a two-headed turtle while playing in the garden. He immediately christened Takara, same name as a model toy turtle on the market for 1300 yen, about 8 euros.

Not realised of having in hand a rarity of nature, a finding similar has happened in Cuba. Fortunately is not a mutation pollution but rather a strange animal in the world.
