Italy Pompeii Probe .JPEG-00a17.jpg
FILE - In this Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2010 file photo, Carabinieri police officers walk off after reviewing the damage of a collapsed wall in the 2000-year-old archeological site of Pompeii, near Naples, Italy. Collapses of some of the ruins in the ancient city near Naples have plagued the popular tourist site for the last several years. Now finance investigators say they suspect perhaps millions of euros were improperly spent by officials who were supposed to save Pompeii from further deterioration. Naples-based finance police seized, as a precautionary measure, nearly 5.8 million euros ($6.4 million) in assets from a former official tasked with rescuing Pompeii. Nine other officials were also requested to explain spending decisions. The seizure followed a probe by prosecutors from a court monitoring public spending. Investigators suspect there were "exorbitant" expenditures in 2010 for a show at Pompeii's Great Theater. They contend public bidding wasn't held, and the spending went beyond the officials' mandate.

"The lowest-hanging fruit in terms of addressing climate change is forests and land use," said Michael Jenkins, president of the Washington-based nonprofit Forest Trends, referring to the vast amounts of carbon absorbed by the world's forests. This is just one example of benefits that conservation can provide, including small-town farming, agriculture and local economic growth. (Forest Trends)
