"Bleak picture painted for world's mammals; Researchers say one-quarter at risk of extinction" by Juliet Eilperin, Washington Post | October 7, 2008
BARCELONA - One-quarter of the world's wild mammal species are at risk of extinction, according to a comprehensive global survey released here yesterday.
The new assessment - which took 1,700 specialists in 130 countries five years to complete - paints "a bleak picture," leaders of the project wrote in a paper being published in the journal Science. The overview, made public at the quadrennial World Conservation Congress of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, covers all 5,487 wild species identified since 1500. It is the most thorough tally of land and marine mammals since 1996.
"Mammals are definitely declining, and the driving factors are habitat destruction and over-harvesting," said Jan Schipper, the paper's lead author and the conservation union's coordinator for the assessment of global mammals.

The findings come as other researchers are documenting new ways that human-generated emissions of greenhouse gases affect marine mammals. In a paper published Thursday in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, a team at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute found that ocean acidification spurred by carbon emissions will cause sounds to travel farther underwater, because increasingly acidic seawater absorbs less low- and mid-frequency sound.
By 2050, the researchers predicted, sounds could travel as much as 70 percent farther in parts of the Atlantic Ocean and other areas, which might improve marine mammals' ability to communicate but also increase the amount of background noise, which could prove disorienting.
Yup, we are supposed to believe this agenda-pushing crap in the lying War Daily, yup!
"It comes down to protecting habitats effectively, through protected areas, and preventing hunting and other forms of exploitation," Conservation International President Russ Mittermeier said. --more--"
More for THEM and NOTHING but DEATH for YOU, 'murka!!!!
