Cunningham, University of Minnesota Mary Ann Cunningham, Vassar College ISBN: Book Preface Needed: A Science of Sustainability When world leaders and delegates from 190 nations met in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2002 for the World Summit on Sustainable Development, a host of urgent issues filled their agenda. Among the pressing problems they debated were global climate change, freshwater shortages, dwindling forests, biodiversity losses, food insecurity, over-exploited fish stocks, emergent ecological diseases, dependence on fossil fuels, and the role of social, political and economic factors in environmental degradation. Underlying these issues was a division between the world's rich citizens, who want to protect nature and the 80 percent of the world's population living in the poorest countries who insist that they can't be concerned with safeguarding natural resources until they achieve simple survival. This division was highlighted by South Africa's President Thabo Mbeki who said in his opening comments: "A global human society based on poverty for many and prosperity for a few, characterized by islands of wealth, surrounded by a sea of poverty is unsustainable. The tragic result of this is the avoidable increase in human misery and ecological degradation."

Sea Grant Extension Service, West Hawaii, 808-329-2861, peck@hawaii.edu DESCRIPTION: Manta rays are commonly seen along the Kona Coast and have been a major component of the local dive industry for many years. Despite their abundance in Hawaii, their large size and pelagic nature have made them difficult to study. Consequently, little is known about their basic ecology. Fisheries for manta rays in Indonesia, Baja, and the Philippines have increased our need for information on their population structure and habitat use. Tim Clark, a Ph.D. student at the University of Hawai’i, has been studying manta rays for over ten years. He will be presenting findings from his research on the site fidelity and habitat use of mantas in Hawaii, on the global population structure of manta rays, and on conservation issues affecting mantas today.

Why is this site different? This isn't a typical science site. It's actually based on a four-credit graduate course at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland, one of the finest universities in the world. The site is packed with colorful photos, animations, maps, charts, graphs-even a musical excerpt-with links to trustworthy resources. The site is a research and classroom teaching tool. It is quickly applicable to a wide range of subjects and lessons that you have planned for your classroom. It offers actions that you and your students can take together to make a difference in your own health and the health of the world around you. Why is GECOH special? The site shows how changes to the environment can affect human health. We all know that disasters loom large in the news these days: West Nile virus. Flash floods. Extreme storms. Heat waves. Hole in the ozone layer. Epidemics. El Nino. Global warming. Biodiversity. Urban sprawl. Air quality alerts. You may find yourself asking hard questions. What is really happening, why does it matter, and what can we do about it? This site will help you and your students see how events on the other side of the world or in your own backyard can matter. How this project became a reality.

MASS EXTINCTION UNDERWAY The World Wide Web's Most Comprehensive Source of Information on the Current Mass Extinction THE CURRENT MASS EXTINCTION: Human beings are currently causing the greatest mass extinction of species since the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. If present trends continue one half of all species of life on earth will be extinct in 100 years. (For details see links below.) Scroll Down For Hundreds Of Links: Following the article below are more than 200 links to authoritative reports and updates about the current mass extinction. New articles are added regularly. (Most recent update: June 1, 2004) Mass Extinction Underway, Majority of Biologists Say Washington Post Tuesday, April 21, 1998 Page A-4 By Joby Warrick Staff Writer A majority of the nation's biologists are convinced that a "mass extinction" of plants and animals is underway that poses a major threat to humans in the next century, yet most Americans are only dimly aware of the problem, a poll says. The rapid disappearance of species was ranked as one of the planet's gravest environmental worries, surpassing pollution, global warming and the thinning of the ozone layer, according to the survey of 400 scientists commissioned by New York's American Museum of Natural History.
