Germans Look to Offset Emissions Outside Their DoorstepsCarbon offsetting programs are becoming widespread as a way to mitigate global warming. Programs that help people and companies pay off their carbon sins are also coming under scrutiny because of a lack of transparency. In Germany, more and more people are sponsoring projects closer to home.The bigger players in the carbon market are meeting in Cologne this week for the 4th annual Carbon Expo. The Carbon Expo is becoming the world?s major fair for the carbon market. Individuals are also increasingly active, especially in the western world. They buy credits to cover the carbon created by their seats on a long distance flight or to make up a portion of the electricity they use. Now, some carbon offsetting programs are sponsoring projects closer to home under the idea of thinking globally but acting locally. Living Planet visits a reforestation project in the German county of Rhein-Erft-Kreis. Report: Alison HawkesMigratory Birds Are Ambassadors For Biodiversity, Says UNThe 9th Conference of the Parties to the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD/ COP9) is taking place May 19th-31st. Living Planet talks to Bert Lenten, Executive Secretary of the African Eurasian Waterbird Agreement (UNEP/ AEWA) and initiator of the World Migratory Bird Day (May 10/11).The United Nations try to draw people?s attention to species under threat all year around. The Executive Secretary of the African Eurasian Waterbird Agreement, or AEWA, is Bert Lenten. He initiated World Migratory Bird Day, which was celebrated in 2006 for the first time . The event draws attention to the threats migratory birds face. The event's first theme was "Migratory birds need our support now!". This year the event is celebrated under the theme "Migratory birds- ambassadors for biodiversity". All around the globe people have organised activities that take place on the 10th and 11th of May. Migratory birds usually receive considerable ? mostly negative -- media coverage when Avian influenza is around. Living Planet speaks to Bert Lenten about the negative publicity of migratory birds, abuot the threats they face, and about what he hopes will be achieved for migratory birds during COP9. Interview: Nina HaaseBiodiversity Series (5): The Black GrouseDrawing attention to the threats more and more of our planet?s species are facing, is obviously something that might be achieved through events like World Migratory Bird Day. And more and more people seem to realise that conservation efforts are important in our changing environment.Ahead of the United Nations conference starting in a few days? time, Living Planet brings you a special series on efforts in Germany and beyond to preserve our wealth of species. In this instalment, we take a look at efforts to preserve the Black Grouse in the L�neburg Heath. The Luneburg Heath is a region in Northern Germany and is covered by a heathland landscape. But the idyllic vacation area came under threat in the nineteen seventies and eighties. Animals like the famous black grouse have almost disappeared from the region. This has caused alarm with authorities, who have declared the area a natural conservation area. Since then the population of the Black Grouse has gained new strength -- with a little help from man.
