nice to know!! kudos to leaders of Malaysia for their sincere efforts!!

its time for usa to take a lead in similar issues, closer to home.... like the wolves in the midwest, bears & sea otters etc in Alaska, seals on the borders of US& canada. Simply reducing waste, & going green can make worlds of change globally. China is 3rd in renewable energy, reaching 1st in next couple of years. If smaller nations like malaysia can contribute, why cant the US ( greatest polluter) make some pledge to pay for its own way?

America can find solutions to jobless industry, through green power.
As many local leaders have been replaced this week, perhaps the incomming will heed the views of the public, and look to local solutions w/ long term benefits at home & abroad.

We ask Obama to make some commitments in the Coppenhagen "Green" summit.

And after the successful breeding plan, will some then try to destroy and poach for their fur. This is a vicious cycle.

Julie, that comment reminds me of a friend who e-mailed me about how it seems we increase the population of animals only to kill them off again.
