Tiger Bronx ZooBudget cuts force Bronx Zoo to ‘fire’ animals
Layoffs for sea lions? Furloughs for frogs? Is there no job security, anywhere?

The recession may be coming to a zoo near you. State budget cuts mean many zoos, aquariums and botanical gardens will lose crucial state funding for their exhibits. New York’s 76 zoos, aquariums and botanical gardens will lose $9.1 million in state funds next year.
"We’re faced with this very difficult problem of firing the animals, as it were," said Steve Sanderson, the CEO of the Wildlife Conservation Society, which manages the Bronx Zoo and the New York Aquarium. They will lose $3 million to budget cuts.

Birdstrikes Dolbeer Birds | Biologist: Birds competing for airspace with planes

Richard Dolbeer says "bird strikes that would disable both engines on an aircraft is fortunately a rare event."Biologist: Birds competing for airspace with planes
The problem of planes hitting birds comes down to a key fact: "We’re competing for airspace," says Richard Dolbeer, a biologist who spent 20 years studying the problem at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Populations of large birds have increased dramatically since the 1970s, when environmental regulations were instituted in the United States. Birds have become more accustomed to living in urban environments near airports and the number of airline flights has risen sharply, according to Dolbeer.
Dolbeer, who retired in September 2008 and is now a consultant on the issue, spoke with CNN hours after a US Airways plane crash-landed in the Hudson River in New York after an apparent bird strike. He retired as National Coordinator for the Airport Wildlife Hazards Program and was chairperson of Bird Strike Committee-USA from 1997-2008.
