    Extractions: ISBN: Needed: A Science of Sustainability When world leaders and delegates from 190 nations met in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2002 for the World Summit on Sustainable Development, a host of urgent issues filled their agenda. Among the pressing problems they debated were global climate change, freshwater shortages, dwindling forests, biodiversity losses, food insecurity, over-exploited fish stocks, emergent ecological diseases, dependence on fossil fuels, and the role of social, political and economic factors in environmental degradation. Underlying these issues was a division between the world's rich citizens, who want to protect nature and the 80 percent of the world's population living in the poorest countries who insist that they can't be concerned with safeguarding natural resources until they achieve simple survival. This division was highlighted by South Africa's President Thabo Mbeki who said in his opening comments: "A global human society based on poverty for many and prosperity for a few, characterized by islands of wealth, surrounded by a sea of poverty is unsustainable. The tragic result of this is the avoidable increase in human misery and ecological degradation."

    Extractions: Nature's Wisdom Celebrated at 2005 World Exposition AICHI, Japan , March 28, 2005 (ENS) - The 2005 World Exposition opened Friday in Aichi Prefecture with the theme of taking inspiration from nature's wisdom to create a new direction for humanity which is sustainable and harmonious with nature. Before it closes on September 25, more than 15 million visitors are expected to view the pavilions and take in the cultural events at this complex in the Nagoya Eastern Hills. "This is not a theme that we have chosen lightly," say the organizers of the first exposition of the 21st century, the Japan Association for the 2005 World Exposition. Recognizing that rapid technological development, mass production and mass consumption have brought about desertification, global warming, and a shortage of natural resources, the organizers said, "Only recently have we realized the enormity of our loss." "Learning from the world's vast collection of wisdom and methods of interaction with nature found around the globe, we hope to bring the world together for the creation of a global society allowing the multitude of cultures and civilizations to coexist together," the organizers said.

The normal cellular process, RNA interference, might be exploited therapeutically to fight disease. But a better understanding of RNAi itself, the delivery and specificity of RNA molecules in vivo, and the toxicity and immunological responses is required. Nature's RNAi Therapy Collection presents primary research, commentary, and news articles on RNAi therapy and features an amazing RNAi animation Asked to name one thing they hate about their jobs, many scientists say that with grant applications luck is not on their side. Yet they must play the game. In this week's Featured Article Nature's reporters asked researchers why the process is so frustrating, and what can be done to improve matters.
