Scientist addresses Nature Conservancy
CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Protecting the environment is as important as a nation's health care plan and its foreign policies, M.A. Sanjayan said Thursday at the West Virginia Nature Conservancy's Corporate Council for the Environment.
Natural resources are many times the cause of major conflicts, including the ongoing war in Darfur, said Sanjayan, a lead scientist with the Nature Conservancy.
"A major part of our work is about human well-being and social development," said Sanjayan, who has been featured on the Discovery Channel, National Geographic and Today Show.

Report AbuseI am really sick of hearing about wind turbines. They are not the answer to mountain top removal. All of those touting them as the saving grace of southern west virginia need to really do some research and learn what they are talking about. Furthermore, let Indiana and Illinois build them there and all the others that WV's coal produces electricity for. Don't heap anymore scars on our mountains. Quite frankly tearing up the top of the mountain is not different regardless of who is doing it.

Report AbuseThe Nature Conservancy: don't let the article fool you into thinking there was any serious talk about alternative energy. The Nature Conservancy is working with other groups in states to oppose wind farms, the thing that some recent discussions here have called for building (again, only on land the landowner wants Massey to mine).
