[ 04:15 ]

Live Reef Fish Trade
That fish on your plate and in your aquarium may have one thing in common - growing up on the reefs of the Coral Triangle. One of the most lucrative of the regions reef-based fisheries, live reef fish trade is also a destructive activity.

Your Actions Affect the Reefs Future
Whether you live one mile or one thousand miles from a coral reef, your actions affect the reefs' future and the reefs' future affects yours. As the natural guardians of our shores, reefs play a vital role in our global ecosystem. With climate change, pollution, and overfishing contributing to coral reef degradation, we can all play a role in protecting our land, sea and sky. And all it takes is a few simple changes to your daily routine.

The Bottom Line
Bottom trawling is laying waste to the precious ecosystems of the deep sea. It is comparable to clear cut logging and it's turning our oceans into deserts. Sigourney Weaver calls on delegates of the UN to take immediate action to stop this destruction.

Not with our taxes
The Japanese Government is refusing to cancel the Southern Ocean whaling programme, which actually costs its taxpayers billions. Greenpeace conducted street interviews in Toyko and the response was shock that the programme existed and a wish to shut it down.

Healthy environments - healthy people: blood and...
Human health and biodiversity; the two are fundamentally inseparable. The food we eat, the multitude of pills we swallow for anything from the common cold to cancer all stem from living matter, the sum of which makes up biodiversity. Even oil and gas are nothing more than ancient biodiversity.

Sumatra
In the past few decades, Sumatra's lowland forests have shrunk dramatically, from 16 million hectares in 1900 to just 500,000-600,000 hectares today. Harapan Rainforest is a forest under threat, and if we don't act now, this rainforest and its amazing wildlife will be gone in five years. Our ambitious project to restore habitat of this scale and importance is not a task undertaken lightly - but with your help and our expertise it can be saved.

Life in the slipknot
Biodiversity is the sum of every living thing around us. It is us. By letting it die we are killing ourselves. Habitat destruction and invasive alien species are considered undesirable side effects of development. That will no longer do. They are unacceptable side effects and they must stop.

Let's act now!
