Biodiversity

Article Abstract:

Increased funding for the Endangered Species Act to at least $100 million by 1996 is needed so that all species in the endangered list must be reviewed and protected. In addition, the worldwide Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) should be ratified. The CBD has been signed by 153 countries including the the industrialized North but with the exception of US. It is expected, however, that US will eventually sign and make improvements in the CBD.

Guess what's coming to dinner?

Article Abstract:

The US Food and Drug Admin is now receiving public commentary regarding the approval of genetically engineered salmon, due to protests by Greenpeace and more than 60 environmental, consumer and fishing organizations. The altered salmon can grow to as much as four times the size of unaltered salmon, posing a threat to sustainable fishing and placing a strain on salmon habitat.
