One-Fourth of All Mammals Face Extinction |
{Nature_and_Environment.101.1}: Dan Raphael {dravazed} Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:06:39 EDT (HTML)
Nearly a quarter of the world's land mammal species are at risk of extinction, and many others may vanish before they are even known to science, according to a major annual survey of global wildlife

While the plight of mammals and birds commands the world's attention, insects are quietly but rapidly disappearing.

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn16065-gallery-a-colourful-glimpse-into-the-rainforest.html?DCMP=OTC-rss&nsref=online-news Gallery: A colourful journey into the rainforest 15:30 18 November 2008 by Lucy Dodwell For similar stories, visit the Galleries Topic Guide A beautiful book out this month takes readers on a mosquito-free tour through the tropical rainforest, which, as E O Wilson reminds us in the foreword, is rapidly disappearing. Tropical rainforest covers an area roughly equal to the US, and human activity is destroying an area equivalent to South Carolina each year - that's a football field per second. Entitled Nature of the Rainforest: Costa Rica and Beyond, the book is by Adrian Forsyth (published by Cornell University Press) The colourful and striking photographs by Michael and Patricia Fogden that adorn almost every page serve as a reminder of the sheer diversity of rainforest animals - and how we should be doing all we can to preserve them. See a gallery of the photographs [ http://www.newscientist.com/gallery/dn16065-nature-of-the-rainforest/1 ]
