...August 7, researchers at the University of North Carolina released the world's first comprehensive study on coral in the Indo-Pacific region, which stretches from Japan to Australia and east to Hawaii, and is home to 75% of the world's coral reefs. The outlook is grim. Between 1968 and 2003, more than 600 sq. mi. of reef disappeared in the region - that's 1% a year, twice the pace of rainforest decline - and the losses are hitting well-protected areas like the Great Barrier Reef just as hard as the stressed, overfished reefs that surround crowded countries like...

Bhatt, who has spent the past three years cultivating Indo-Pakistan friendship through a series of cinematic and artistic exchanges, says such protests suggest the terrorists have already succeeded.
