Panorama's Animal Rights Issue The Universal Declaration of Animal Rights was adopted by the United Nations in 1978, but many practices are still in place today which are considered cruel to animals. The next issue of Panorama will address our relationship with creatures and the effects that our daily actions have upon other species. How can we act to ensure our furry friends are treated fairly? Do humans have a responsibility to ensure sufficient habitat is protected to ensure the survival of other species?

World Environment Day: June 5 June 5 is the World Environment Day. It is organized by The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) to raise awareness about the environment, to enhance political attention on environmental issues and remind people to take action! The theme for WED 2009 is 'Your Planet Needs You-UNite to Combat Climate Change'. It reflects the urgency for all nations to agree on a new deal at the crucial climate convention COP 15 meeting in Copenhagen some 180 days later and the links with overcoming poverty and improved management of forests.
