The Associated Press (AP), the American news agency formed in 1846 has had a checkered history filing reports ranging from The Alamo to the Battle of Little Big Horn, to Nazi Germany’s surrender to the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers in New York City.
On June 4th 2009, the AP filed a report entitled “Study finds potential profits in conservation”, an innocuous enough title, focusing on a study in the current issue of the peer-reviewed journal Conservation Letters, which recommends that selling credits for the billions of tons of carbon that are locked in Indonesia's tropical rain forests could be as profitable as converting these areas into palm oil plantations.
