According to projections from Brazils environment ministry, the tide is expected to spread along 5.5-mile (9km) stretch of the coastline, threatening the Comboios nature reserve, one of the only regular nesting sites for the endangered leatherback turtle. I dont know what to say. Its awful; its a calamity, Joca Thome, the national coordinator of the marine conservation organisation Tamar, told the press after flying over the area. It looks like brown gelatin spreading out to sea.

Canada Mining Company Spills Tons of Cyanide in Argentine River The Canadian Barrick Mining Company admitted Tuesday that it spilt 224,000 liters of cyanide into a local river from its Veladero gold mine located in the western province of San Juan, but assured it represented no threat to residents or the environment. However, it has been labeled the 12th most unethical company in the world.

The companys report did not, however, explain why the gutter's lock-gate was opened, but Barrick Gold claimed that the small quantity of cyanide that leaked into the river does not represent any danger to the health of local residents. http://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/Canada-Mining-Company-Spills-Tons-of-Cyanide-in-Argentine-River-20150923-0043.html

Scientists say the discovery of the 337 beached whales is one of the biggest strandings ever recorded. Using aerial and satellite photography, biologist Vreni Haussermann and other scientists counted 305 bodies and 32 skeletons in the area between the Gulf of Penas and Puerto Natales in June.

Ms Haussermann told AFP it was an apocalyptic sight, adding that she expected to find more dead whales as the team had not yet reached every area. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/337-whales-wash-up-on-chilean-coast-in-one-of-the-largest-mass-strandings-ever-a6756746.html
