Frosty Wooldridge, math teacher, has bicycled across six continents – from the Arctic to the South Pole – as well as six times across the USA, coast to coast and border to border. In 2005, he bicycled from the Arctic Circle, Norway to Athens, Greece. He presents “The Coming Population Crisis in America: and what you can do about it” to civic clubs, church groups, high schools and colleges. He works to bring about sensible world population balance at http:/www.frostywooldridge.com/ He is the author of:America on the Brink: The Next Added 100 Million Americans.
Commencing with this, his first letter Frosty is writing a 30 part series about what is happening to the United States as to overpopulation and all aspects of it in this country. His work is designed as a 'wakeup' call to the people of America.#

Population Quotes
Professor Short, of the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Zoology is a long-time champion of the world's 'megafauna', including elephants, gorillas and chimpanzees, whose future is threatened by human overpopulation and consequent habitat destruction.
"Working on elephant populations in Zambia, I was visited by Sir Peter Scott, founder of the World Wildlife Fund," says Professor Short. "He said, 'You know, I have often thought that at the end of the day, we would have saved more wildlife if we had spent all WWF's money on buying condoms.' He was right, and human overpopulation is ultimately the greatest threat to wildlife." - Prof. Roger Short & Sir Peter Scott, founder of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF)

Media Release - SEQ Water Strategy - 10 Feb.
South East Queensland Water Strategy reveals SEQ population growth is unsustainable
High energy consuming desalination plants underpinning future water security for South East Queensland shows that the region’s population growth is unsustainable, say environmentalists.
“Detailed planning for desalination facilities at Lytton and Marcoola will commence in 2010, however, a desalination plant at Lytton shows a total disregard for the Moreton Bay Marine Park and its internationally listed values,” said Mr Simon Baltais, Vice President of the South East Queensland Branch of Sustainable Population Australia.

Discover biodiversity - every day
Biodiversity is the backbone of all life on earth, and its conservation lies at the very core of IUCN’s work. ‘Species of the Day’ has been launched as part of IUCN’s involvement in the International Year of Biodiversity.
With mounting scientific evidence of a serious extinction crisis, it’s time to take action. “The latest analysis of the IUCN Red List shows the 2010 target to reduce biodiversity loss will not be met,” says Jane Smart, Director of IUCN’s Biodiversity Conservation Group. “It’s time for governments to get serious about saving species and make sure it’s high on their agendas for next year, as we’re rapidly running out of time.”
Each day of 2010 will see a different species featured on the IUCN website, with information on the threats it faces. The 365 species selected represent the entire range of taxonomic groups and cover all regions. We have started by featuring some better known species, including the Polar Bear and will move on to cover plants, fungi, invertebrates and more. Both charismatic and obscure species will be featured, providing an insight into the astonishing level of biodiversity that exists.
