A flock of pigeons equipped with tiny backpacks containing pollution sensors and GPS trackers flew out over the city Monday, charged with monitoring air quality and reporting back their findings. Curious residents can tweet to @PigeonAir for a reading around their home or office.

Their backpacks were created by air quality start-up Plume Labs and monitor nitrogen dioxide, ozone and volatile compounds. palomino backpack 550A vet was on hand to ensure the birds' welfare.nufc backpackThe first #PigeonAir patrol flies from Brick Lane, monitoring air pollution as we go! targus voyager ii 16 laptop backpack — Pigeon Air Patrol (@PigeonAir) March 14, 2016targus voyager ii 16 laptop backpack A number of birds make up the crew: Coco, a "maverick" from south London; Julius from east London; and Norbert from north of the river. Introducing the #PigeonAir patrol team: Norbert, Coco and Julius. The pigeons' three-day stint over the city is aimed at drawing attention to the quality of London's air, which has dropped at times in recent months.

Last March, London landmarks even appeared to vanish after they were obscured by pollutants. “It is a scandal. It is a health and environmental scandal for humans – and pigeons. We’re making the invisible visible,” Pierre Duquesnoy from DigitasLBI said, according to the Guardian. The birds were resting Monday night after a hard day's monitoring, ready to do it all again Tuesday. Our #PigeonAir patrol are all roosting and we're signing off for tonight.

Pombo takes on the Endangered Species Act ‘Critical habitat’ is likely a thing of the past For the 12th time in eight years, Rep. Richard Pombo, R-Calif., is attempting to reform one of the nation’s key environmental laws, the Endangered Species Act (HCN, 7/25/05: Will the real Mr. Pombo please stand up?). And this time, the chairman of the House Resource Committee, a strong advocate for private property and business interests, may get what he wants. On Sept. 29, the U.S. House of Representatives approved his "Threatened and Endangered Species Recovery Act," which proposes far-reaching changes to the law. Most significantly, Pombo’s bill repeals the requirement to protect "critical habitat" — the home territories of endangered or threatened creatures. It also allows the secretary of the Interior, a political appointee, to determine what science can be used to make decisions about a protected species.

And federal agencies and industry may now be allowed to harm imperiled species, through actions such as building roads, without first consulting with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or NOAA Fisheries. Pombo’s bill requires that recovery plans be developed within two years of a species’ listing; currently, no timeline exists for creating recovery plans. However, the bill says that recovery plans are now "non-regulatory," meaning that they’re no longer enforceable. For recovery on private land, the bill proposes voluntary agreements and federal payments to landowners. The bill further orders the federal government to compensate property owners who lose land value or potential profit because of the act’s requirements. Federal courts have previously limited compensation for property "takings" to cases where the owner lost all use and benefits of the property — not for partial loss. Critics have long argued that the Endangered Species Act encourages landowners to "shoot, shovel, and shut up," killing endangered species on their property to avoid potential land-use restrictions.

"The only way this is going to work is if we bring in property owners to be part of the solution and to be part of recovering those species," said Pombo during House floor debate. But the law already has incentives for property owners, says Bob Irvin, vice president of Defenders of Wildlife. Under the Safe Harbor program, for example, landowners who manage for species welfare can avoid more stringent requirements later. Still, Irvin and many other environmentalists acknowledge that some change is necessary. Shortly after Pombo introduced his bill, they threw their support behind an amendment crafted by Rep. George Miller, D-Calif. and Rep. Sherwood Boehlert, R-N.Y. Like the Pombo bill, the Miller/Boehlert amendment would have eliminated the critical habitat requirement. But the amendment also would have tightened one crucial aspect of the law, by prohibiting federal agencies from carrying out any actions that might make the recovery of a species less likely. The existing law prohibits only those actions that threaten a species’ existence.

"(The new rule) would have done more for species recovery than critical habitat ever did," says Michael Bean, an attorney for Environmental Defense. It almost worked: The Miller/Boehlert bill attracted northeastern Republican support and the endorsement of eight environmental groups, including the American Bird Conservancy, Trout Unlimited and The Wilderness Society. The amendment was narrowly defeated in the House, 216-206. The Pombo measure passed 229-193, with support from 36 Democrats, mostly from rural Western districts. The debate now moves to the Senate, where Sen. James M. Inhofe, R-Okla., and Sen. Michael D. Crapo, R-Idaho, are working on a bill similar to Pombo’s, which they hope to introduce later this year. However, Sen. Lincoln Chafee, R-R.I., has threatened to filibuster any Pombo-style endangered species bill. Chafee says his Fisheries, Wildlife and Water subcommittee will consider its own Endangered Species Act revisions next year, after getting a report on the subject from Colorado’s nonprofit Keystone Center.

On other fronts, Pombo floated draft legislation in September that included provisions to force the sale of 15 national parks and require the Park Service to raise $10 million annually by hawking advertising space on its maps and buses. Pombo spokesman Brian Kennedy says that those proposals were not meant to be taken seriously. Instead, they appear to be bargaining chips to get drilling access to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Nevertheless, "we view selling parks as a real threat," says Craig Obey, vice president of the National Parks Conservation Association. He fears that a parks sale may reappear in the future, as Congress becomes ever more desperate to fund big-ticket items like the Hurricane Katrina recovery effort and the Iraq war.
