Collecting saliva sample from false killer whale  

Full Text:

Jeff Pawloski, a researcher at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, part of the University of Hawaii, collects a saliva sample from the mouth of Kina, a false killer whale (Pseudorca crassidens). Kina has been trained to allow samples to be taken, which researchers will use to determine the composition of the saliva and to measure the hormone levels of the animal.

The Queen and David Attenborough urged to cut ties with charity linked to Finland mining plans  

Flora and Fauna International has been hired by a British mining firm to assess the environmental value of a national park in the Arctic circle

Environmentalists and indigenous reindeer herders are calling on the Queen, Sir David Attenborough and Stephen Fry to disassociate themselves from a charity contracted to help a mining operation in a national park in Finland.

Fauna and Flora International (FFI), whose patron is the Queen, has been hired by the British-listed mining company Anglo American to assess the environmental value of Viiankiaapa, a stunning 65 sq km (25 sq mile) habitat for 21 endangered bird species in the Arctic circle.

'We have to stop the bulldozers': swaths of koala habitat lost, say activists  

Queensland's relaxed land-clearing laws have allowed 84,000ha of habitat to be destroyed and must be rolled back, say WWF and Australian Koala Foundation

A relaxation in Queensland's tree clearing laws led to the destruction of 84,000 hectares of critical koala habitat in the two years after the national icon was listed as vulnerable, according to new mapping by conservationists.

That koala habitat made up about 14% of all land cleared between mid-2013 and mid-2015 was an alarming revelation, WWF and the Australian Koala Foundation said.

Carmaker announces plans to make self-driving vehicles for companies such as Uber and Lyft by 2021, saying automation of cars will define the next decade

The robot car wars moved up a gear on Tuesday when Ford announced it would produce a fleet of driverless cars for ride-sharing services, such as Uber and Lyft, by 2021.

Mark Fields, Ford's president and chief executive, said the next decade would be “defined by automation of the automobile” and the switch to driverless travel would affect society as much as the introduction of the assembly line, allowing mass-produced cars, did a century ago.
