Endangered or Is It Too Late?
Many plant and animal species around the world are endangered. One of the main reasons is that humankind is destroying the natural habitats where these plants and animals live. People destroy forests to cut trees for new housing and industry. Another reason is climate change which is also caused by humans. Endangered animals in Indonesia include the rhinoceros, tiger, orangutan, proboscis monkey and other creatures large and small. In Australia, the numbat, the dugong, and the Australian sea animals are endangered. Although many organizations around the world work hard to save these species, sometimes it’s too late and the species becomes extinct.

(Jakarta Post) Mount Agung erupted again at 11:49 a.m. on Tuesday, spewing a plum of ash 1.5 kilometers into the air.
According to the National Disaster Mitigation Agency's (BNPB) spokesman, Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, the eruption lasted 140 seconds, and did not appear to cause any disruptions to the daily activities of local residents nor to flights.
"The airport's operations continue to run as normal and no effects have been seen," Bali's I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport spokesperson Arie Ahsanurrohim said. The intensity of the ash was assessed as medium, but no further eruptions followed. Light ash fell in Pandan Sari, Dukuh village, Kubu subdistrict in Karangasem.
The Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Agency (PVMBG) said the alert status for Mt. Agung remained at level 3, with a 4 km exclusion zone declared around the crater.
PVMBG has installed a detector on Mt. Agung to serve as an early warning system.
Mt. Agung began erupting for the first time since 1963 in August last year. On Feb. 10, the authorities lowered the alert status of the volcano from level 4, the highest level, following a decrease in volcanic activity.

EDITORIAL: NEWS
The Australian. The growing importance of Australia’s relationship with China, our largest trading partner, has long been appreciated by this newspaper. Two-way trade with China has increased by 16.5 percent last financial year to $64 billion. More than 100.000 Chinese are studying in Australia and by 2005, more than a million Chinese tourists a year will be holidaying here.
The bilateral relationship is central to our national interest and holds the key to our future prosperity. What is all the more reason is why the government dealings with Chinese officials and business leaders must be open and transparent. The style of some of the Rudd government’s dealings with China has not left that impression.
After insisting for most of Thursday that he had exchanged only small special presents and birthday gifts with family friend Helen Liu, Defense Minister Joel Fitzgibbon remembered late in the day that the Chinese business woman had paid for him to travel to Beijing in December 2002 and to Shanghai in April 2005. The minister apologized and amended the parliamentary register. He also rented his Canberra residence from Liu and defense officials allegedly found her banking details on his office IT system.
