Today's Featured Stories: Forgotten and hazardous: Unusable pesticides pose serious ecological threat -- It is estimated that in various places on our earth at the present time there are several hundred thousand tons of obsolete, hazardous, dangerous and, for the most part, forgotten pesticides. According to the UN Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), leaking pesticide storage containers are threatening food and water supplies or are accessible to playing children. (Earth Times News Service) British breast milk 'highly contaminated' -- As many as 350 pollutants, including many known poisons, have been identified in breast milk given to British babies, according to a World Wide Fund for Nature report. (BBC) Tiniest Deer Confirmed As A New Species -- An adult deer measuring just 20 inches at the shoulder and weighing no more than 25 pounds has been confirmed through DNA testing as a new species, making it the world's smallest deer, according to a recent study led by the Bronx Zoo-based Wildlife Conservation Society. (UniSci) End of political limbo on GM foods in sight -- Forget all the speculation about whether Europe now has a moratorium on GM foods after last week's dramatic gathering of EU environment ministers. The bottom line is that approval of any new GM products is not likely until 2002 at least, and that might not be such a bad thing, even for the developers of GM foods. (Irish Times) Riding High -- The Department of the Interior budget approved by the House of Representatives is $2.7 billion smaller than last year's. That's a huge 20 percent hit that would mean desperate trouble for National Parks and other already underfunded programs. Now more trouble looms in the Senate. (Green Earth Journal) Horseshoe Crabs -- NPR's Allison Aubrey reports on an apparent declining number of horseshoe crabs found in the Delaware Bay. Scientists are conducting an annual survey, and say more restrictive measures may be needed to stop the decline. The decline in the creatures means a decline in their eggs, which fuel thousands of migratory shore birds which stop at the bay to feed on their way to summer breeding grounds. The crabs are also used for bait, and a clotting agent in their blood is used to test for bacteria in drugs. (NPR) Tourist tide threatens magic city of the Incas -- For centuries, the Inca city of Machu Picchu has been protected by its remoteness in the Peruvian Andes. Now the isolation that saved it when the Spanish conquistadors swept across the country in the 1530s is under threat from a cable car scheme which would quadruple its number of tourists. (The Sunday Times - UK) Clean Up -- Commentator Donald McCaig writes about the messy occupation of farming, and the challenge of cleaning up.
