"Between a quarter and a third of the world's wildlife has been lost since 1970, according to data compiled by the Zoological Society of London. Populations of land-based species fell by 25%, marine by 28% and freshwater by 29%, it says. Humans are wiping out about 1% of all other species every year, and one of the "great extinction episodes" in the Earth's history is under way, it says. " "Reduced biodiversity means millions of people face a future where food supplies are more vulnerable to pests and disease and where water is in irregular or short supply"- James Leape Director general, WWF UK (Source: BBC, 16th May 2008) Animals Eco |

| "Israel has drawn international criticism for its latest series of
onslaughts against the 'prison' of Gaza, the crowded home to 1.4 million Palestinians.
Since last Wednesday (February 27), 112 Palestinians have died under Israeli air attacks
and 'incursions' by Israeli troops. The dead include many women and children, such as four
boys who had been out playing football and even babies killed in their homes. Last
Saturday alone saw the deaths of 60 Palestinians under Israeli attacks. Three Israelis
have died - one a civilian killed during a rocket attack by Hamas last Wednesday and,
since then, two Israeli soldiers." (Source: Media Lens, 3rd March 2008) |
