...than half of them go next door to Canada, which is welcoming twice as many emigrants from the U.S. in 1970 as it did ten years ago.

Because of its precarious perch, Peru suffers an average of eight major earthquakes-and countless minor ones-every century...
...turtles' rapid depletion by the cosmetics industry. In the Pacific Northwest, the sockeye salmon is proliferating, thanks to artificial incubation and man-made channels that allow the fish to bypass barriers on their way upriver to spawning lakes. Conservationists are also bringing back the takahe, a large New Zealand bird that resembles the extinct dodo, and the vicuña, a llamalike Peruvian animal that has been overhunted for its luxurious wool...
