FoA to FWS: Giraffes need ESA protections or face extinction

DARIEN, Conn, Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Habitat loss, trophy hunting, poaching, climate change, mining and the bushmeat trade have placed giraffes in danger of extinction and they should be placed on the Endangered Species list, Friends of Animals said in comments filed with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

FoA to FWS: Giraffes need ESA protections or face extinction

Giraffes currently have no protection under U.S. law. In 2019, the UN Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species listed giraffes on Appendix II, which regulates trade in the species but doesn’t ban it.

The species has declined nearly 40 percent to under 100,000 in the past three decades from 150,000.

Although animal advocacy groups filed a petition ibn 2017 urging FWS to list giraffes as endangered it hasn’t.

Meanwhile, trade in their parts continues to thrive with the U.S. being a major importer.

«It is widely recognized that the U.S. market and American trophy hunting culture are driving factors contributing to both legally targeted hunting and illegal hunting of giraffes. More than 40,000 giraffe parts and products were imported into the U.S. over one decade’s time,» FoA said in comments filed by its Wildlife Law Program.

Between 2006 and 2016, the U.S. imported 21,402 bone carvings, 3,008 skin pieces and 3,744 hunting trophies and 3,000 pelts and skin products and 825 jewelry pieces. Body parts are being turned into Western boots, knives, pillows, rugs and furniture.

«As soon as you put a price tag on vulnerable, threatened and endangered animals, you send a mixed message about whether or not they need to be protected at all, and that’s detrimental to actual conservation,» FoA President Priscilla Feral said. «There is urgency for the U.S. to act fast to protect giraffes.»

In addition to urging FWS to list giraffes on ESA, FoA is also working to protect them from trophy hunters by supporting legislation in New York – the nation’s largest importer of trophies— and Connecticut that would ban the importation, possession, sale or transportation of the trophies of African giraffes as well as leopards, lions, elephants, and black and white rhinos.

The legislation known as the Big 5 African Trophies Act, has twice passed the state senates in New York and CT. FoA is working to move the bill to law in this upcoming legislation session in both states.

Friends of Animals, an international animal advocacy organization founded in N.Y. in 1957 and headquartered in Darien, CT, advocates for the rights of free-living and domestic animals. FoA is proud to be a woman-founded and -led organization for more than 60 years.

Covalent Taps IBM Blockchain to Help Track the Carbon Impact of its AirCarbon®-based Fashion Goods

ARMONK, N.Y., Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Covalent, a fashion brand recently launched by Newlight Technologies, today announced that Covalent is using IBM Blockchain technology on IBM LinuxONE so consumers can track the carbon footprint and supply chain of its sustainable, AirCarbon-based fashion accessories, from…

Purchasing sustainable products is a growing motivation for consumers. A recent study by IBM showed 57% of consumers surveyed were willing to change their shopping habits to reduce environmental impact.

Covalent’s products, which can be purchased on its website, are made with AirCarbon, a biomaterial made by microorganisms that is meltable and can be used as an alternative to fiber, plastic and leather. Because it is made using renewable power, AirCarbon is certified as carbon-negative by the Carbon Trust, meaning it reduces the amount of carbon in the air.

In addition to being part of a new category of «regenerative» products emerging that can have a positive impact on the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, Covalent’s AirCarbon-based products provide a new level of traceability through the application of IBM Blockchain technology. Often, when consumers buy products labeled as sustainable fashion, they cannot see a verified record of how the product was made or how it affects the environment. Covalent’s products bridge that gap with a blockchain-based number that can be used to show the steps in the production process for that specific product as well as its third-party-verified carbon impact so customers can view impact the product is having on the environment.

A unique 12-digit number printed on each Covalent product, known as the «Carbon Date,» represents the time when the AirCarbon used to create that specific product was created. The number can be entered into Covalent’s website to trace the steps that went into creating the product. The supply chain journey that brought each product to life is stored in an immutable record on the blockchain and stretches from when the AirCarbon was formed and molded into a handbag to who independently verified its carbon footprint and when it was moved to a stockroom.

«Our goal was to give people the information they need to decide what kind of impact they want to make,» Newlight CEO Mark Herrema said. «With IBM Blockchain and LinuxONE technology, we can now provide visibility into not only the steps used to make each Covalent product, but also the carbon impact that each specific product has on the environment. For us, that’s important, because it helps make tangible the unique pathway that led to the creation of that product.»

By working with IBM Business Partner Cognition Foundry, a services provider and systems integrator, Covalent is able to host its IBM Blockchain solution on IBM LinuxONE, a highly secured server for mission critical workloads and that provides scalability and resiliency, including the industry’s first and only FIPS 140-2 Level 4 certified Hardware Security Module (HSM).^[1]

«Blockchain’s ability to foster trust gives Covalent’s customers a better understanding of how their products were made,» said Alistair Rennie, General Manager of IBM Blockchain. «In turn, Covalent can create a better customer experience, and a better opportunity for consumers to understand how their choices impact the environment. This is another great example of how blockchain is supporting our mission of using technology for good.»

About Newlight Technologies

Founded in 2003, Newlight Technologies is a biotechnology company in Huntington Beach, California dedicated to producing materials that help improve life. After over ten years of research, Newlight developed AirCarbon: a regenerative material made by natural ocean microorganisms that is being used to replace synthetic plastic and fibers to help solve plastics pollution and climate change. AirCarbon was named «Biomaterial of the Year» by the Nova Institute and «Innovation of the Year» by Popular Science. Newlight was also recognized as a «Technology Pioneer» by the World Economic Forum and awarded the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Supported by title sponsors including Dana, Meritor, and Shell, the Run on Less—Electric (RoL-E) demonstration vehicles will include electric vans, medium-duty box trucks, and heavy-duty trucks moving freight in a variety of conditions and geographic areas. In order to increase electric truck adoption and deployment, RoL-E will help fleets, charging infrastructure companies, utility companies, and policymakers better understand the current benefits and challenges of hauling freight with electric trucks.

«Supply chain disruptions during the pandemic have shown all of us how essential freight movement is to our daily lives. We also know that this industry has an important journey ahead to decarbonize. The surest road to zero-emissions goods movement, and a 1.5° C future, is with battery-powered vehicles,» said RMI CEO Jules Kortenhorst.

To complement the RoL-E demonstration and data collection components, RMI and NACFE will also host a series of virtual educational events (E-series) to convene industry stakeholders to discuss the why and how of electric truck deployments. An opportunity to learn from leaders in fleet electrification beyond the formal Run participants, the public E-series will include discussions with fleet managers, charging providers, utilities, engineering firms, policymakers, and more.

«Rather than a typical webinar where experts teach what they already know, the E-series will bring together stakeholders from across the industry to support innovation, collaboration, and the acceleration of zero-emissions goods movement,» says NACFE Board Chair and Schneider EVP & Chief Administrative Officer Rob Reich.

RMI and NACFE are currently seeking applications from fleets interested in participating in the Run. Sponsorship opportunities are also available for the event.

Honeywell Launches Next-Generation Digital Cabin Pressure Control And Monitoring System For Aircraft

PHOENIX, Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Honeywell (NYSE: HON) has introduced the next generation of its Cabin Pressure Control and Monitoring System with applications in both commercial and military aircraft. This new version of the system is all-electric, lighter-weight, and available now for business and regional aviation as well as tactical or military trainer-sized aircraft.

…

The Cabin Pressure Control and Monitoring System (CPCMS) helps maintain and monitor the air pressure inside an aircraft. It can be found onboard any aircraft that flies high enough to require air pressurization, including commercial and business jets as well as military aircraft. It regulates the air that is pumped into the cabin of an aircraft to maintain a safe and comfortable environment while flying at high altitudes. It also manages the rate of pressure change to avoid passenger discomfort during climb and descent.

«After listening to our customers, it was clear the industry required an update because most systems being used today rely on decades-old technology,» said Tom Hart, vice president and general manager, Air & Thermal Systems, Honeywell Aerospace. «We acted quickly and developed a new digital system that is significantly lighter, more reliable and less costly to certify than products on the market today.»

This new fourth-generation version of the system is all-electric and has built-in test capability to detect and report any failures or issues, including for the back-up manual portion of the system. Along with the improved system reliability, there is also less system maintenance for the airplane operator. This system further improves sensor accuracy and response rate performance, resulting in more comfortable pressure control.

The system can serve a wide variety of aircraft, offering customers the ability to customize the control software to best fit their needs. The entire system weighs less than six pounds, is 30% lighter than its predecessor and has a new and smaller digital controller that allows it to be fit for future upgrades.

Honeywell has won a contract with Piaggio Aerospace to provide the new CPCMS for its integration into the new P.180 Avanti Evo aircraft configuration, currently under development. The products will start delivery in the third quarter of 2021 and the first planes with the new system are expected to enter service in the first half of 2022.

From the first cabin pressure regulator on the Boeing B-29 until now, Honeywell has over 75 years of experience with pressure control systems, with over 20,000 systems flying globally on aircraft today. Honeywell’s legacy as an avionics manufacturer and integrator also helps ensure proper system operation and a smoother path to aircraft certification.

On this foundation, we are committed to a positive, diverse and inclusive culture, and make it a priority to provide a supportive work environment operating with integrity, trust and respect for each other. This recognition underscores that commitment, and we are honored to be recognized as a best place to work for all of our employees.»

The listing of the Best Places to Work was determined using company reviews from U.S.-based employees between October 2019 and October 2020 who elected to share anonymous feedback by completing a review about their job, work environment and employer on Glassdoor. In order to be considered for the annual list, employers were required to meet a minimum positive score for overall company rating on Glassdoor and meet a minimum number of ratings in eight separate workplace categories.

Based on feedback shared during the year-long period, the final list of 100 employers was compiled using Glassdoor’s proprietary awards algorithm, and employer ratings were determined based on the quantity, quality and consistency of reviews across workplace attributes including career opportunities, compensation and benefits, culture and values, senior management, work-life balance, likelihood to recommend the employer to a friend and the six-month business outlook.

The ranking as a Glassdoor Best Place to Work is the most recent in a series of recognitions earned by Carnival Corporation, including honors in 2020 from Forbes based on the publication’s annual listings of America’s Best Employers for Diversity and America’s Best Employers for Women. Most recently, the company was recognized for its commitment to corporate social responsibility leadership by Newsweek on its second annual list of America’s Most Responsible Companies, in addition to being named to 3BL Media’s listing of 100 Best Corporate Citizens for 2020.
