Thanos Davelis caught up with Larry Notheis, the Chief Deputy Director at the California Conservation Corps, on the sidelines of the "Our Ocean" conference in Athens to look at how the California Conservation Corps model can be applied in Greece, and how these partnerships can make a difference in protecting the oceans, preventing and fighting wildfires, and more.

An endangered weasel has been released back into its natural habitat after being treated by locals in Turkey's eastern province of Siirt.

Believed to have been hungry and fallen exhausted due to heavy snowfall in the region a while ago, the weasel was found by Nureddin Yeşilfidan, a villager living in the province's Baykan district.

Within the scope of a two-year project, the Environment and Urbanization Ministry will implant chips in some 500 endangered reptiles to monitor them from second to second through the satellite.

Wildlife protection groups say authorities are failing to enforce a seven year-old ban on hunting, leaving a number of endangered species perilously unprotected.
