(Earth) -- A new type of environmental news service launches this week, as "Earth's Newsdesk" will report upon ecological science, policy and advocacy from the Earth's perspective. Ecological Internet will begin regularly providing biocentric media releases and feature articles for publication elsewhere. This continues a long list of firsts from EI and its predecessors, including the web's first blog and environmental search engine.

The free service will build upon Ecological Internet's constant tracking of environmental science, policy and advocacy -- and years of deep green analysis and action -- and will report upon major threats and opportunities facing forests, climate, water and oceans. It will focus upon environmental sustainability and the needs of the biosphere, and her ability to continue maintaining a habitable Earth for all life.

"The emphasis will be upon fully and truthfully knowing the magnitude of global ecological crises, and reporting upon ambitious yet attainable ecological sustainability solutions," explains Ecological Internet's President, Dr. Glen Barry.

"There is something deeply wrong when foundation-fed environmental groups tell us logging ancient forests protects them, and governments fail miserably to promote adequate climate policies. 'Earth's Newsdesk' will be a fierce, independent voice for ecological sufficiency. No government or organization's greenwash will be safe from criticism."

This new news service, along with the soon to launch "New Earth Rising" e-zine, will substantially increase Ecological Internet's original content offerings. EI continues to recruit essayists and guest bloggers. These writings will compliment Ecological Internet's unmatched environmental search, news tracking, deep ecological analysis and action alerts.

Those subscribed to Ecological Internet's Climate and Forest News Today email lists, and extensive global media list, will already receive the releases. Subscribers belonging only to Ecological Internet's "Earth Action Network" will need to add Earth's Newsdesk to their subscriber settings at: http://www.ecoearth.info/shared/subscribe/
