Cerrado
Located between the Amazon, Atlantic Forests and Pantanal, the Cerrado is the largest savanna region in South America.
The Cerrado is one of the most threatened and overexploited regions in Brazil, second only to the Atlantic Forests in vegetation loss and deforestation. Unsustainable agricultural activities, particularly soy production and cattle ranching, as well as burning of vegetation for charcoal, continue to pose a major threat to the Cerrado’s biodiversity. Despite its environmental importance, it is one of the least protected regions in Brazil.
Facts & Figures
• Covering 2 million km2 , or 21% of the country’s territory, the Cerrado is the second largest vegetation type in Brazil.
• The area is equivalent to the size of England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain combined.
• More than 1,600 species of mammals, birds and reptiles have been identified in the Cerrado.
• Annual rainfall is around 800 to 1600 mm.
• The capital of Brazil, Brasilia, is located in the heart of the Cerrado.
• Only 20% of the Cerrado’s original vegetation remains intact; less than 3% of the area is currently guarded by law.

Votes at 16 and negative sterotypes of young people
“Young people never respect their parents, they are rude and impatient. They frequently inhabit bars and have no self-respect”
These are just some of the things I have heard people say about today's youth.
Believe it or not, not every single teenager around my age (11-18) goes around beating up people and smashing up cars. Can you seriously claim that today's youth are that much worse than the teenagers of the former generation?
Statistics show that now adults and elders are more scared of teenagers than ever before. It has also been Claimed that more than 1.5 million Britons had considered moving home because of young people “hanging around” their neighbourhood.
But the fact is, more teenagers than ever before are staying on at school after the age of 16 to study, and again, more than ever are going on to further and higher education. Teenagers are more likely to do voluntary
work than people from any other generation. In fact, they are 10 times more likely to be volunteering in our communities than regularly being antisocial in them and two thirds of 10-15-year olds have helped raise
money for charity.
In November 2017 lots of people campaigned for “votes at 16 These people believed that if a young
person could join the army, get married, get a job, join a trade union, register as a blood donor and so much
more, why are over 1.5 million 16 and 17-year-olds denied the vote?

Airborne particles cause more than 3m early deaths a year
Governments are worried over traffic and other local nuisances that create filthy air. But research just published in Nature by Zhang Qiang, of Tsinghua University in Beijing, and an international team including environmental economists, physicists and disease experts, suggests the problem has a global dimension, too. Dr Zhang’s analysis estimates that in 2007 — the first year for which complete industrial, epidemiological and trade data were available when the team started work — more than 3m premature deaths around the world were caused by emissions of fine particulate matter (known as PM2.5, because the particles in question are less than 2.5 microns across).
Of these, the team reckon just under an eighth were associated with pollutants released in a part of the world different from that in which the death occurred, thanks to transport of such particles from place to place by the wind. Almost twice as many (22% of the total) were a consequence of goods and services that were produced in one region (often poor) and then exported for consumption in another (often rich, and with more meticulous environmental standards for its own manufacturers).
In effect, such rich countries are exporting air pollution, and its associated deaths, as they import goods. As far as China is concerned, that phenomenon is probably abating. Chinese coal consumption has been on the wane since 2013, so premature deaths there from toxic air are now probably dropping. But other industrialising countries, such as India, may yet see an increase.
