...cost is to the environment, according to WildAid, a San Francisco-based environmental foundation. WildAid says the oceans' ecosystem is under threat from the annual slaughter of an estimated more than 50 million sharks, and the organization launched a print- and TV-ad campaign in mid-2001 that shows fishermen slicing fins off sharks and kicking them back into the sea to die. The ads also warn that fins might be contaminated with mercury. The campaign has been a surprising success, says Steven Galster, director of WildAid's Southeast Asia office, who cites a recent survey in Thailand in which...

GenSan is situated on the southern tip of the lawless province of Mindanao, which is wracked by separatist fighting and kidnapping.

...Arafura Swamp. Particularly powerful are the portraits, so different from the era's stiff poses? of Aborigines like clan leader Wonggu: lively, strong people, clearly at ease with the photographer. Back in Melbourne, Thomson urged segregation for the region - to no avail, despite his warnings about European and Japanese fishermen bringing alcohol and encouraging prostitution. In 1942 he returned north to set up a secret reconnaissance unit to watch for Japanese troops. Warriors who had once been punished for killing Japanese now learned how to throw Molotov cocktails in the name of a government Thomson, who died in 1970, believed...
