HUMAN IMPACTS AT DANGEROUS LEVELS: A new report released at a
conference of world environment ministers has found the "human impact
on natural ecosystems has reached dangerous levels" says BBC News 9/15.
The collaboration between the World Resources Institute, U.N. and World
Bank found human activity has begun to "significantly alter the Earth's
basic chemical cycles" by destroying "half the world's wetlands," up to
50% of the forest cover, and by degrading two-thirds of the planet's
agricultural lands, and over fishing "70% of the major marine fish
stocks."
