Contact Thousands protest police violence in Cincinnati Compiled by Shawn Gaynor June 2— Despite intermittent rain, more than 2,000 protesters marched in Cincinnati to protest the police treatment of black communities and the fatal shooting of 19-year-old Timothy Thomas by police in April. Thomas’ mother, Angela Leisure, led the procession that stretched five city blocks. Before the march began, Leisure thanked the demonstrators gathered at Fountain Square for “standing up for what is right and just.” “I pray every day. I pray my son will be the last one to die. But I don’t think he will be. They have not made any changes to ensure that this will not happen again,” she said. “Who will be the next parent to lose their child?” The multiracial crowd made its way through the Cincinnati streets chanting, “No justice, no peace! No racist police!” Banners were carried on the edges of the crowd reading, “Amnesty! Release all prisoners from the mutha fuckin’ rebellion!” and “Stop police brutality, Shoot back!”. Willard Clark, 41, of Cincinnati, watched the protesters as he waited for a bus outside the public library. “This ain’t gonna change nothing. It’s a joke. It’s a circus,” he said, shaking his head. “What we need is a different system to live under, and this is not going to make that happen.”

Department of Defense Regional Environmental Coordinator Concept In order to build better coordination and communication with area regulators and public on environmental issues, the Department of Defense (DoD) formally established the DoD Regional Environmental Coordinators program through the issuance of DoD Instruction 4715.2, "DoD Regional Environmental Coordination," dated May 3, 1996. This document outlines policy, roles, and responsibilities for the DoD regional environmental coordination program. Although there were some existing Military Service environmental regional offices, this program established a lead Military Service as an Executive Agent to represent DoD on environmental issues at the 10 Federal EPA regions of the United States. These DoD regional environmental coordinators are known as DoD RECs. The various Military Services established and located regional offices and DoD RECs based on the standard federal EPA regions for which the DoD Instruction assigned them executive agent responsibility (see areas of responsibility below). The Army established their regional offices in 1995, including their four DoD REC offices in Regions 4, 5, 7 and 8.

Environmental issues across the Basin dryland regions rivers and wetlands irrigated regions Development of water, land and other environmental resources has made the economy and society of the Murray-Darling Basin as it exists today. However, the use of these resources has also caused significant degradation (see Land Degradation ). This is a summary of some of the key issues facing land managers and communities which are being addressed as part of the Murray-Darling Basin Initiative Across the Basin Sustaining communities People have been living in the Basin for at least 50 000 years. The last 200 years have seen an enormous amount of environmental change through human activity. It is clear that the future of the Basin depends on our ability to use its natural resources in a sustainable way. To do this we need to know not just about the condition of land and water, but also how social, cultural and economic activities impact on natural resources, so we can integrate human needs with the needs of the environment for a sustainable future.

IETC Project Topics Resources ... Reference Background At IETC we pay specific attention to urban environmental problems such as water supply, sewage, solid waste, energy, loss of green and natural spaces, urban sprawl, land contamination, traffic, transport, air pollution and noise. The present state of these problems will be introduced and discussed by topic. The urban environmental problems are serious in developing countries and countries with economies in transition due to the collision between the economic plan of short run and the environment protection. The Centre serves as a proactive inter-mediator for cooperation between sources and users of Environmental Sound Technologies. We also play a role in strengthening the capacities of peoples living in our target areas to make sensible decisions about technologies for sustainable development. back to index Water Supply The world's population is increasingly found in the cities. Today, throughout the developing world, urbanization trends are gaining speed and are irreversible. From a technical standpoint, it is easier to provide water and sanitation services to people living closer together in urban settings than in dispersed rural communities. However, the costs of meeting the needs are much higher per capita, and are growing. The health risks posed by the lack of sanitation increase exponentially as densities increase and as people share drinking water and sanitation resources. The urban environmental sanitation crisis in developing countries is taking a large health, economic, and environmental toll on all city residents. Willingness to pay for basic water and sanitation services is often high in peri-urban neighborhoods, provided that services are appropriate, effective, and affordable. The use of a strategic sanitation approach should helps to build capacity within implementing agencies and enhances the ability of communities to make sustainable sanitation improvements.

Environmental Issues and Prospects for Southern African Regional Co-operation Larry A Swatuk Senior Fellow, African Centre for Development and Strategic Studies (ACDESS), Ijebu-Ode, Nigeria Published in Monograph No 4: People Poverty and Peace, Human Security in Southern Africa, May 1996 INTRODUCTION " Southern Africa is undergoing a massive transformation. Cities and towns are mushrooming across the region. Demand for permanent housing, for water, sewage and transport systems, for industrial and consumer products is increasing. Building on the real post-independence improvements in health and education provision, the people of Southern Africa are creating a new landscape much as they created the agricultural landscape of the past. Yet such a process of development brings new problems - not just of pollution and resource exhaustion but, significantly, of renewable resources. Energy requirements, wood consumption and, most importantly, water demand will be critical resources issues to address in the 21st century ."

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Victory for Mahogany and Forest Resources The decision to submit mahogany to cross checking was taken this month in Chile at the Conference of the Parties of CITES, by a vote of 68 for and 30 against with 14 abstentions and three null votes. To include a species in Appendix II of CITES (which by definition requires cross checking) two thirds of the member countries must agree to the classification. The decision represents a defeat for the Brazilian government that was strongly opposed to the proposal (presented by Nicaragua and Guatemala). Brazil tried to unite a minority of one-third of the votes, the minimum necessary to veto the proposal. Among the Latin American countries only Bolivia joined Brazil in its opposition to the proposal. The position contrary to controls over international commerce was criticized by NGOs and observers, principally because the extraction of

Not only are we located within Daniel Boone National Forest, we have State and National Forest Service offices, the Minor Clark Fish Hatchery, the US Army Corp. of Engineer’s Cave Run Lake, and our own wetland teaching/research area. Contemporary regional problems in natural resources are holistic: ecological, economical, sociological, technological, and political. It is important to understand the processes and principles of the environment to deal with these issues. Scientists and professionals are needed who, after achieving a solid disciplinary education in science-related fields as undergraduates, have learned integrated and interdisciplinary approaches to deal with these problems. The Environmental Science program is designed to cut across traditional discipline boundaries to provide an understanding the natural resource science and management. The program philosophy emphasizes a systematic and interdisciplinary approach to natural resource issues and the effective communication of knowledge and information. The degrees prepare students for work in public service, government, education, or nonprofit organizations.

Conclusions S tate of the environment (SOE) reporting was introduced in the United States with the enactment of the 1969 National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA); it was made a global activity in the declaration adopted at the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment in 1972. In the early years, the focus was on the state of the biophysical environment — land, freshwater, forests and wildlife, for example. People were generally reported as a threat to the environment. But SOE reporting has over the years become more integrated and now takes into account the complex human-environment interactions in assessing and reporting on the changing state of the environment. Subsequently, SOE reporting has been established at virtually every level — local, national, sub-regional, regional and global. Many approaches have been used: some focused on media such as land and water, some on sectoral themes such as agriculture and forestry, some on issues such as land degradation and pollution (and some combined these approaches). Other frameworks have included the pressure-stateresponse (PSR) and later the driving force-pressurestate- impact-response (DPSIR). These different approaches have served their purpose but their inherent weakness is a linear approach to complex ecological processes and human-environment interactions. The reports often down played the fact that people not only have an impact on the environment but also that the environment has an impact on people.

UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific Asia Pacific Environmental Issues The Asia-Pacific region is environmentally and economically diverse. It occupies slightly less than a quarter of the world’s land area but has more than half of the total world population. Rapid growth in both population and economy is placing pressure on the environment and on natural resources in the region. This pressure is, in some places, exacerbated by the influence of poverty. The major environmental issues of concern vary across the region, but it is generally acknowledged that attention should be focused on deforestation, available water resources and water quality. Issues Compared with other regions, land in the Asia-Pacific region is of poor quality and many of the developing countries suffer to some degree from soil erosion and degradation. Altogether, 35 per cent of the productive land in Asia has been affected by desertification. The main causes of land degradation are deforestation, poor irrigation and drainage practices, inadequate soil conservation, steep slopes and over-grazing. Twenty-five per cent of soil degradation in the Asia-Pacific region has occurred directly from agricultural activities. Newly irrigated land is expected to increase by 96 per cent by the year 2000. The region has about 17 per cent of the world’s total forests and woodlands. Over the period 1981–90, 3.9 million hectares per year of forest and woodland were lost compared with 2 million hectares a year during 1976–81. Deforestation is one of the major environmental issues in the region due to continuing industrialization, expansion of agriculture and trade in forest products. At the current rate of harvesting, the remaining timber reserves in Asia will not last for more than 40 years.
