...novel fuel source last month, many Swedes were outraged. "It feels like they're trying to turn the animals into an industry rather than look at the main problem," says Anna Johannesson of the Society for the Protection of Wild Rabbits. Johannesson and other wildlife campaigners recommend spraying the park with a chemical that makes shrubs and plants unappetizing to the animals. Tuvuynger, though, has little sympathy for that argument. "If you do that you only move the problem 100 meters away. Overpopulation is not good for the animals' well-being because they use up limited natural resources for survival...

...Proboscis monkeys are not the park's only drawcard. There are long-tailed macaques, shy silver-leaf monkeys, bearded pigs and grass-green whip snakes. But although this enclave bursts with color, the land beyond is becoming increasingly monochromatic. Massive palm-tree plantations are destroying Borneo's habitats. The proboscis-monkey population has dropped between 50% and 80% in the last three generations and now stands at about 7,000 across the island. Junaidi Payne, the chief technical officer of the WWF's Borneo Malaysia Program, says that we owe a moral responsibility to the animals. "The human species...
Chenoweth matched his impressive finish of last year, placing 42nd overall out of 250 in the 10K championship. He finished the race in 30:23.6, shaving 40 seconds off his qualifying time at the NCAA Regionals at Franklin Park. The time left him just 2.2 seconds out of the top 40, which would have earned him All-American honors, and within a minute of the top five...
