Keystone XL is still in the process of getting a permit from the Nebraska Public Service Commission, which will decide whether or not it will be built. However, an incident on November 16 has some environmentalists issuing greater warnings against it. As you may have heard by now, the Keystone pipeline leaked 210,000 gallons of oil due to an improperly installed connection on a pie (according to TransCanada). Although it has not polluted groundwater, we believe, like other environmentalists, that this incident foreshadows the potential disasters of Keystone XL if it were built.

Today, we at BABCE are celebrating 4 years of raising awareness about our Indiana species, as well as becoming more aware of local, national and global events that affect the environment. We give many thanks to people who have looked at our website over the years, and to those who learned just a little bit more about environmental issues facing us today from our website. Here's to another 4 years of educating ourselves and others!One of our favorite YouTube channels, thebrainscoop, released a video titled "The Case for Saving PARASITES." In it, Emily Graslie discusses the conservation of parasites. Specifically, she talks about the overall lack of knowledge about parasites, despite them being a larger group than all vertebrates, and the information about them that may be lost.
