Ecoversity: Case Focus

In the Case Focus area we present dossiers on events and issues that reveal both the problems we face as well as, if possible, solutions to these problems, or at least a new way of understanding them. If you or your organization would like to submit a Case Focus dossier for publication, use this email.

Ocean
The Ocean Planet
This is an ocean planet, and this ocean, like the atmosphere, is a single thing, one biological broth from Asia to the Caribbean; and the ocean creates the atmosphere we breath and play in, wherever we live. But we have been treating this ocean like a cesspool, dumping garbage and wastes and toxins into its waters of life, while strip-mining the ocean's own life systems which might have helped keep it clean and healthy... recent updates and reports on ocean health.

Arctic Melting
Arctic Warming Speeding Up; Large-Scale Methane Releases Detected
Updated, February 22 2009 with new videos...
"The situation at the top of the world has taken a sharp turn for the worse just in the last few weeks."

Biocosm
Biocosm: A Universe Alive With Life? We May Soon Find Out..
With the launch of the Kepler planet-finder satellite, we may soon be seeing some answers to a great riddle: is Earth and it's vigorous biosphere a biochemical accident, a statistical fluke in a vast dead universe? Or does life, and intelligent life, arise naturally in our cosmos?
"That's 500 billion planets out there, and bear in mind there are 100 billion other galaxies. To think this [Earth] is the only place where anything interesting is happening, well, you have got to be really audacious to take that point of view." - Seth Shostak, SETI senior astronomer (...read on)

Shipibo people
Report From the Forest
A special report on the Shipibo-Conibo forest people of the Amazon at the dawn of the 21st century
The Shipibo-Conibo are living with one foot in the 21st century and one foot in an unfathomably deep past, spanning many millenia in the Amazonian rain forest. They still practice many of their own unique traditions such as the Anisheati ceremony and ayahuasca shamanism. They have a very distinct artistic tradition; their decorative and geometric designs, inspired by shamanic songs (icaros), are found in their clothing, pottery, tools, and traditional textiles...

Severe weather
Global Warming and Climate Chaos
Updated, February 20 2009
Following one of the the hottest years of the last century, this winter has seen extremely severe storms, record cold, and record snowfalls from China to Wisconsin; global-warming skeptics are all abuzz. But the danger we face from our modifications to the atmosphere is not a gradual increase in temperature, but climate chaos. Record cold spells and snowfall, to the extent they represent something more than transient weather extremes, may be a sign of growing instability, rather than counter-indications of a simplistic linear warming.

Algae for Food and Oil
Algae: Not Only The Best BioFuel...
The biofuels boom, subsidized by government and the source of expected lucrative profits for agro-industry, turns out to be disastrous for the climate and for the food supply. But there is hope- biofuel from algae. What's more, the process also rapidly produces food. We take a closer look at this promising technology which we are demonstrating at Ecoversity this year, and give you references for further research. (...read on)
