Will We Mend Our Earth? (As
the National Geographic Society enters its second century, one of its
goals will be to encourage a better stewardship of the planet, writes
President Gilbert M. Grosvenor. A Society-sponsored symposium last
January expressed calls for a new era of global responsibility.)
Brazil’s Imperiled Rain Forest: Rondonia’s Settlers Invade (Brazil’s
vast western frontier has enticed settlers since the 1960s. William S.
Ellis tracks the mass immigration and the subsequent destruction of
rain forest, escalated by construction of 900 miles of an Amazonia
highway. With photographs by William Albert Allard and Loren McIntyre.)
Last Days of Eden: Rondonia’s Urueu-Wau-Wau Indians (As
pioneers encroach, the peoples of the rain forest under a government
hands-off policy protect their lands by resort to force. Loren McIntyre
and Jesco von Puttkamer document the predicament of one tribe.)
Quietly Conserving Nature (For
nearly 40 years the U.S.-based Nature Conservancy has combined biology
and business for the profit of unique plant and animal communities.
Noel Grove reports, with photographs by Stephen J. Krusemann.)
Caribou: Majestic Wanderers (Photographer
Michio Hoshino chronicles the life cycle of these tundra-dwelling
mammals in the last great migratory herds of the New World.)
Oil In The Wilderness: An Arctic Dilemma (Oil
companies want to tap reserves they suspect lie beneath a protected
swath of wilderness spanning the Alaska-Canada border. Douglas B. Lee
and photographer James P. Blair examine the debate over development.)
Whales: An Era of Discovery (As
commercial whaling fades away, zoologist James D. Darling sums up two
decades of whale research, including recently recognized parallels with
land mammals. Flip Nicklin captures rare images or world’s largest
animals.)
New Perspective on the World (Recounting
efforts to portray the round earth on flat paper, National Geographic’s
Chief Cartographer John B. Garver, Jr., introduces the Society’s new
and more realistic world map.)
Population, Plenty, and Poverty (Skyrocketing
world population and increasingly affluent life-styles are staining
earth’s resources. Stanford biologists Paul R. Ehrlich and Anne H.
Ehrlich say population control is essential for the survival of
humanity.)
