Carnivore Extinction Determined More By Biology Than Population Density
London (SPX) Jul 16, 2004Carnivores around the world are more at risk of extinction due to their own intrinsic biological attributes than from an increasing human population with whom they share their space, say scientists in a study published this week. Revolutionary New Paradigm For Fishery Management 
Miami FL (SPX) Jul 16, 2004Seventeen of the world's top marine scientists today unveiled a plan that seeks to avert the collapse of fish populations by focusing on managing the entire ecosystem rather than one species at a time. ESA Considers The Next Step In Assessing The Risk From Near-Earth Objects 
Paris (ESA) Jul 15, 2004On 9 July 2004, the Near-Earth Object Mission Advisory Panel recommended that ESA place a high priority on developing a mission to actually move an asteroid.

German Research Lobby Says 'Genetic Engineering Act' Inhibits Research 
Bonn, Germany (SPX) Jul 07, 2004The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) sees the draft amendment to the Genetic Engineering Act as a restriction on innovation and research in Germany.
