Relationship between deforestation and fire in the Chaco

[8/8] L’étude montre que le climat n’est pas le moteur principal des incendies. Ce sont surtout les usages du sol qui expliquent leur intensité. Mieux réguler la déforestation et les pratiques agricoles apparaît donc central pour limiter les feux.

Wo Wälder die Erde kühlen - und wo nicht Wälder binden CO2. Aufforstung ist deshalb wichtig im Kampf gegen die Erderwärmung. Eine Studie zeigt jedoch: Nur am strategisch richtigen Standort funktionieren Wälder zusätzlich als Klimaanlagen. Von Margareta Holzreiter.

Aufforstung an der falschen Stelle kann das Klima erwärmen statt abkühlen.

From Scotland and California to Pennsylvania and Australia to Canada, golf courses are being rewilded, reaping some big rewards for biodiversity and local people. Many countries across the world, including the UK and the US, use far more land for golf courses than they do for wind or solar energy

Globally, golf courses are transforming into biodiverse havens for wildlife and local communities! 🌱 This inspiring movement across continents also highlights how much more land we dedicate to golf than to renewable energy. #Rewilding #EcoPositive #LandUse

Eagan places 1-year pause on new data center developments The Eagan City Council voted on Tuesday to pause new data center developments for one year to study the impacts of data centers. The moratorium may be the first-of-its-kind in Minnesota.

More Neighbors A2 is incredibly happy to see the comprehensive land use plan be approved by city council. We want to thank everyone for their support - whether you sent emails, made public comment, or cheered others on. Ann Arbor has a vision to provide more housing for more neighbors. Now, let's get to zoning.

We won.

Thank you to everyone who made it happen!

Take a breath, rest, and get ready for rezoning and more ways to support our community.

After the Housing Letter, the Vote Why a Rediscovered 1988 Housing Letter Was Only the Beginning

A few years after I wrote a 1988 housing letter, I was chairing a zoning commission and facing Residents Against Condominiums. I learned something for today’s housing debates : it is one thing to diagnose exclusion, and another to govern through it.

Commission keeps conditional‑use approach for roof‑height exceptions, approves code‑reference updates After debate over whether to replace conditional‑use permits for roof‑height exceptions with a permitted‑height standard, the commission voted to retain CUPs for height decisions but approved the unrelated update to state code references and other ordinance housekeeping.

In a heated debate, the Kane County Planning and Zoning Commission decided to keep conditional-use permits for roof-height exceptions, balancing flexibility against clear standards.

Deuel County Zoning Board approves waiver option for 2,000‑foot setback on high‑voltage lines At its Feb. 3 meeting the Deuel County Zoning Board amended an ordinance to allow landowners to accept reduced setbacks from high‑voltage transmission lines, after utilities warned a 2,000‑foot rule would lengthen routes and residents raised safety concerns. The board will forward the amendment to the County Commissioners for first reading on March 3, 2026.

The Deuel County Zoning Board has sparked a heated debate by allowing landowners to opt for reduced setbacks from high-voltage transmission lines, despite community concerns about safety and property value.
