This week's topics:
Greenland
'I have just read an alarming book entitled 'A Farewell to Greenland's
Wildlife' by Kjeld Hansen. He suggests that unless this process is reversed, within 10-20 years some species will become extinct. What can be done about this?'
"Farewell to Greenland's Wildlife" by Kjeld Hansen ISBN 87-89723-01-5
'Mobbing'
I always find it interesting to see smaller birds mobbing a solitary larger bird.
Do certain species only mob birds from other certain species or can they chase anything that upsets them?
CORAL
I went to an Aquarium shop and was dismayed by the tropical fish who had been taken from coral reefs from around the world. In a jewellery shop I saw a coral necklace made from a species of coral which takes thousands of years to grow. Do you think that in light of destruction of 70% of the worlds coral reef this trade should be banned, as many of these fish and corals could be faced with extinction?
Tuna
Is there such a thing as tuna I can eat with a clear conscience?
Dumping sewage
125 miles to the west of the river Nile is the Quattara depression. Would it be feasible to run a pipeline from the Nile so that all the sewage from the Mediterranean off Egypt could be dumped in the depression?
Richard Daniel interviewed Professor Andrew Goudie of Hertford College Oxford
