Problemer med at vende udviklingen for
biodiversiteten
Sun sets on 2010 biodiversity targets
More than 190 countries agreed to reduce biodiversity loss by 2010. A UN report says they failed.

LINK: http://www.newscientist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?mode=view&amp;blog_id=180&amp;id=3381 </uri>

&nbsp;
The report, the third edition of the
http://www.cbd.int/gbo/gbo3/doc/GBO3-Summary-final-en.pdf
Global Biodiversity Outlook ]]
(GBO-3), found that animal populations have dropped by 30 per cent in 40 years, endangered plant and animal species are moving closer to extinction and natural habitats in most parts of the world continue to decline in size and integrity.
"Twenty-one percent of all known mammals, 30 per cent of all known amphibians, 12 per cent of all known birds and 27 per cent of reef-building corals assessed are threatened with extinction," Bill Jackson, deputy director general of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which maintains the Red List Threatened Species
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/science_and_environment/10103179.stm
told the BBC ]].

GBO-3 found that none of 21 biodiversity targets set in 2002 were met
on a global basis, including targets to curb the rate of habitat loss
and degradation, protect at least 10 per cent of the Earth's ecological
regions, control the spread of invasive species and ensure
international trade does not threaten any species with extinction.

Last month, a study reviewing 31 indicators was published in
Science
(DOI:
http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/science.1187512v1
10.1126/science.1187512 ]]
)
by over 40 international scientists. That paper also found that the
2002 targets are not being met. We are even losing human biodiversity,
it said: since 1970,
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn11215-endangered-languages-encode-plant-and-animal-knowledge.html
22 per cent of human languages spoken by fewer
than 1000 people have been lost ]].

World Conservation Monitoring Centre ]]
, lead author on the
Science
paper,
http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2010/may/10/un-report-economic-impact-biodiversity
told the Guardian ]]
:
"Our data shows that 2010 will not be the year that biodiversity loss
was halted, but it needs to be the year in which we start taking the
issue seriously.
"
&nbsp;
The
Science
study found that governments have taken the issue
somewhat seriously. It tracked their efforts to keep the 2010 pledge,
and found all indicators of policy and management had improved. For
instance, the number of designated protected areas, national
legislation to limit biodiversity loss have increased. But
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn18842-biodiversity-try-as-we-might-things-just-keep-dying.html
these measures clearly haven't worked too well ]]

that marine mammals and deepwater fish should be able to swim to
safety. Similarly, local fisheries may escape catastrophe, if fish and
shrimp move away. That's a message the industry is keen to put across,

With swells defeating booms placed to protect the coast and burning of
the oil providing only limited respite, the ultimate extent of disaster
will depend on efforts to reactivate the rig's blowout preventer, a
large valve on the well head that should shut it off in an emergency.

In what may be the first US case of
http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg18825244.300-victims-of-genetic-discrimination-speak-up.html
genetic discrimination ]]
since Congress banned the practice in 2008, a Connecticut woman claims she lost her job because she has a gene that predisposes her to breast cancer.
She and her lawyers filed a complaint with the
http://www.eeoc.gov
US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ]]
and the
http://www.ct.gov/chro/site/default.asp
Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities ]].
They allege that her employer, a utility company called MXenergy, violated a new federal law that protects people against genetic discrimination by employers and insurance companies,
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5idLXFbznBv57CnEMaLryCjkfjAgQD9FCA2T80
reports the Associated Press ]]
(AP).
It is probably the first time that a complaint of genetic discrimination has been filed since the Genetic Non-Discrimination Act (GINA)
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn13785-us-outlaws-genetic-discrimination.html
became law in 2008 ]]
and went into effect last year.

Pamela Fink, a 39-year-old woman from Fairfield, Connecticut, alleges that she lost her job at MXenergy after she told the company that she had a mutation in a gene called
BRCA2
that is linked to a
http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg19726385.200-breast-cancer-genes-dont-have-to-mean-cancer.html
greatly increased risk of breast cancer ]].
As a precautionary measure, Fink had both her breasts removed – a
http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Risk/BRCA
common
measure ]]
taken by women positive for some mutations in
BRCA2
and its sister gene
BRCA1
. When she returned to MXenergy after surgery, the company laid her off.
"Part of what she is hoping by going public is that employers will get the message that you can't do this – that you can't use someone's genetic history against them and that individuals won't, out of fear, avoid the advantages of genetic testing," her lawyer told AP.
MXenergy spokesman Todd Miller "'emphatically and categorically' denies the allegations, but has a policy not to discuss personnel matters and will not comment
further", according to AP.

, Dan Vorhaus, a biotechnology lawyer, suggests that if the company settles, the terms won't be made public. If it doesn't, the case could give a signal as to how the federal government will enforce GINA. "Either way, this is a reminder to employers and employees alike that GINA, after more than a decade spent languishing in Congress, is now the law," he
writes.
