...year has passed since the Task Force issued its recommendations, and there's scant evidence of progress. The wildlife-crime bureau is still just a promising idea, and the government agencies in charge of conservation remain as ineffective as ever. Some wildlife experts argue that the Task Force may even be making the crisis worse. In its recommendations, it tries hard to balance concern for the animals with promoting the rights of poor farmers and tribal groups who share their land. "There are villages inside core tiger-reserve areas with no food, no education," says Narain. "While we need...

Stem-cell research has joined global warming and evolution science as fields in which the very facts are put to a vote, a public spectacle in which data wrestle dogma.

But to those in the field, the only answer is to press ahead on all fronts. "There are camps for adult stem cells and embryonic stem cells," says Douglas Melton, a co-director...
...Preparedness Pays Off Re "Sharing the Load" [July 10], on the progress made in providing assistance to Africa since last year's G-8 summit: When large populations are brought to the brink of crisis, international aid interventions are hugely expensive and logistically complicated. The solution is to give people the ability to be resilient in the event of natural disasters or armed conflicts. Small, steady cash transfers enable poor families to eat better and invest in equipment that will help them be more productive. Run entirely by local staff and villagers, the low volume of funds involved reduces...
