Scientists, who examined data for 350 kinds of mammals, birds, reptiles and fish, also found the numbers of many species have more than halved. >Martin Jenkins, senior adviser for the World Conservation Monitoring Centre in Cambridge, which helped compile the report, said: 'It seems things are getting worse faster than possibly ever before. Never has one single species had such an overwhelming influence. We are entering uncharted territory.' > >Figures from the centre reveal that black rhino numbers have fallen from 65,000 in 1970 to around 3,100 now. Numbers of African elephants have fallen from around 1.2 million in 1980 to just over half a million while the population of tigers has fallen by 95 per cent during the past century. > >The UK's birdsong population has also seen a drastic fall with the corn bunting population declining by 92 per cent between 1970 and 2000, the tree sparrow by 90 per cent and the spotted flycatcher by 70 per cent. >Experts, however, say it is difficult to ascertain how many species have vanished for ever because a species has to disappear for 50 years before it can be declared extinct. > >Attention is now focused on next month's Earth Summit in Johannesburg, the most important environmental negotiations for a decade. >However, the talks remain bedevilled with claims that no agreements will be reached and that US President George W.

It found the average US resident consumes almost double the resources as that of a UK citizen and more than 24 times that of some Africans. > >Based on factors such as a nation's consumption of grain, fish, wood and fresh water along with its emissions of carbon dioxide from industry and cars, the report provides an ecological 'footprint' for each country by showing how much land is required to support each resident. > >America's consumption 'footprint' is 12.2 hectares per head of population compared to the UK's 6.29ha while Western Europe as a whole stands at 6.28ha. In Ethiopia the figure is 2ha, falling to just half a hectare for Burundi, the country that consumes least resources. > >The report, which will be unveiled in Geneva, warns that the wasteful lifestyles of the rich nations are mainly responsible for the exploitation and depletion of natural wealth. Human consumption has doubled over the last 30 years and continues to accelerate by 1.5 per cent a year. > >Now WWF wants world leaders to use its findings to agree on specific actions to curb the population's impact on the planet. >A spokesman for WWF UK, said: 'If all the people consumed natural resources at the same rate as the average US and UK citizen we would require at least two extra planets like Earth.' > > >_____________________________________________________________ >---/ k4 is coming! /--- >http://kandieland.com > >_____________________________________________________________ >Promote your group and strengthen ties to your members with email@yourgroup.org by Everyone.net http://www.everyone.net/?btn=tag - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: Click Here ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 Jul 2002 13:09:08 -0700 From: "nata lie" Subject: Re: NPR-Fwd: i just read this article, and thought i'd spread the word it just made me glad that i recycle. :-D ~tali - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail.

How are y'all's summer? I do hope fine. Usually being a lurker, I had a notion brewing in my head. When will Poe's videos be released on vhs---- or dvd for that matter? I mean they could have all of her videos, plus throw in some live show materials... The majority of artists have their videos released, and I just thought if Poe was going to do this....
