Posted Mon Oct 6 2008: from Associated Press:
1 in 4 mammals at risk of extinction, scientists say http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1223321156
 Conservationists have taken the first detailed look at the world's mammals in more than a decade, and the news isn't good... "We estimate that one in four species is threatened with extinction and that the population of one in two is declining," the researchers said in a report to be published Friday in the journal Science... "How impoverished we would be if we lost 25 percent of the world's mammals," said Smith, one of more than 100 co-authors of the report.
