Survival urges UN to end Andamans scandal

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 17/02/2012 - 7:50pm

SURVIVAL INTERNATIONAL, February 16, 2012 - - Five years after the UN first called on India to close the Andaman Trunk Road (ATR), Survival International is urging the organization to bring an end to human safaris by speaking out for a second time.

India ignored the UN’s call in 2007 to ‘implement the 2002 order of the Indian Supreme Court to close sections of the Andaman Trunk Road’; thereby allowing the exploitation of the Jarawa to continue.

However, in recent months, a series of articles by a British newspaper have put the issue under international scrutiny.

Top-down, bureaucratic neo-liberalism is threatening the Christchurch rebuild -

an ethical human rights is needed.

I consider an ethical, ‘bottom-up’ approach to human rights and development, emphasizing small/medium business development, would enable Christchurch to make the most of its opportunities (And I also think this should be extended to the rest of the country and the world).

I believe this approach will eventually replace neo liberalism.

The world takes action for Tasmania's forests

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 16/02/2012 - 7:24pm

An incredible show of world wide support saw over 70 actions across 14 countries in 24 hours calling for an end to the destruction of Tasmania's forests.

People gathered to hold banners in snow filled streets, images of the forest were projected onto town buildings, handmade signs were held up in backyards, some stood as silent statues dressed in green, while some took the action to their local area of forest destruction in solidarity and others asked passers-by to 'have a heart for Tassie's forests.'

Arctic emergency a global threat

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 16/02/2012 - 4:00pm

Seven out of thirteen climate tipping points are in the Arctic, says Dr. Carlos Duarte from the University of Western Australia. He leads off this Radio Ecoshock special look into a double-headed emergency frightening Arctic experts.

There is a growing wave of unease, even panic. Our fossil fuel civilization may be accelerating straight off the cliff of mass extinction.

Will the rapid rise in Arctic temperatures, and the disappearance of summer sea ice, trigger a runaway climate change, and a mass extinction event?
