More than 1,000 species discovered in Mekong: WWF


More than 1,000 species discovered in Mekong: WWF

BANGKOK (AFP) ? Scientists have discovered more than 1,000 species in Southeast Asias Greater Mekong region in the past decade, including a spider as big as a dinner plate, the World Wildlife Fund said Monday.


A rat thought to have become extinct 11 million years ago and a cyanide-laced, shocking pink millipede were among creatures found in what the group called a "biological treasure trove".


The species were all found in the rainforests and wetlands along the Mekong River, which flows through Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and the southern Chinese province of Yunnan.


"It doesnt get any better than this," Stuart Chapman, director of WWFs Greater Mekong Programme, was quoted as saying in a statement by the group.

Shark fins for soup? Unfortunately, if you want them, theyre easy to buy

clipped by: KaylinQ

All you have to do is visit the China-based Alibaba.com website, enter "shark fins" and youll discover that vendors in most Third World nations and many industrialized nations -- including the United States -- sell them.


Salted, unsalted, dried ... If you want em, you can have them shipped by the kilo, as many as you want.


I checked on Alibaba this morning and found several pages of companies selling shark fins. On the first page alone there were companies based in the Maldives (three), Singapore (four), Indonesia (two), Bangladesh, Cameroon, Thailand, Vietnam, Ecuador, Spain, United Arab Emirates, and elsewhere.


Perhaps the conservation groups, aside from calling for a ban on shark-fin soup, ought to also go after Alibaba and demand that the global-marketplace website stop allowing the sale of shark fins.


Shark fins dry like somebodys laundry on a boat in Yap, Micronesia.
