The Connection Between Species Extinction, Organized Crime, and the Spread of Disease - Poaching

The Connection Between Species Extinction, Organized Crime, and the Spread of Disease - Poaching | Biodiversity IS Life -- Conservation,Ecosystems,Wildlife,Rivers,Water,Forests | Scoop.it
From www.huffingtonpost.com - December 8, 2012 8:02 PM

Dec. 8, 2012 - Huffington Post Green

There is no lack of reasons to join efforts to stop wildlife trafficking. Together, we need to protect the source, break the chain and stop demand.

This year alone (2012), we anticipate that 30,000 African elephants will be killed for their ivory. It is estimated that 448 black rhinos were poached in 2012 in South Africa to meet the demand for their horns in Southeast Asia and China. Today, only 3,200 tigers remain in the wild because so many have been killed for their parts. More than 25 million individual sharks will be killed this year for their fins, including many from endangered species.,,

AFRICA: The Constant Gardeners - Sowing Seeds right where they are

AFRICA: The Constant Gardeners - Sowing Seeds right where they are | Biodiversity IS Life -- Conservation,Ecosystems,Wildlife,Rivers,Water,Forests | Scoop.it
From www.onearth.org - January 24, 2012 6:36 PM

Confronting climate change and poverty, a new crop of city farmers comes of age in Africa

Some 15 million Africans abandon the countryside every year in pursuit of better lives in the city. Climate change and further desertification will only exacerbate that trend. How will these ballooning urban populations survive? The best strategy, they're finding, is to begin sowing seeds right where they are.
