A raven perches on one, the only object more than three feet above the ground on this pancake-flat plateau. Cattle, dead or alive, qualify as good news in Buchanan's line of work.

These declines, he told a news conference, mean the polar bear is a species likely to be in danger of extinction in the near future.Kempthorne also said, though, that it would be "inappropriate" to use the protection of the bear to reduce greenhouse gases, or to broadly address climate change.Reflecting views recently expressed by President Bush, Kempthorne said the Endangered Species Act was "never meant to regulate global climate change."He said the decision to list the bear includes administrative actions aimed at limiting the impact of the decision on energy development and other climate related activities."This listing will not stop global climate change or prevent any sea ice from melt</description><pubDate>Wed, 14 May 2008 20:00:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Protect and survive: The importance of biodiversity</title><link>http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/05/05/es.conservingbiodiversity/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/05/05/es.conservingbiodiversity/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>When someone says they can "put an end to extinction," you tend to listen to them. </description><pubDate>Tue, 06 May 2008 04:13:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Will the Polar Bear Survive?</title><link>http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1737249,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topics</link><guid>http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1737249,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topics</guid><description>U.S. Fish and Wildlife must decide on the polar bear this month.
