The unrestricted exploitation of wildlife has led to the disappearance of many animal species at an alarming rate, destroying Earth's biological diversity and upsetting the ecological balance. The problem is particularly acute in developing countries. Scientists estimate that various animal and plant species may be disappearing at the rate of one every day, with thousands more on the verge of extinction. Widely sought for everything from medical research, medicinal supplies, and display in zoos, to satisfying the demands of high fashion, the illegal trade in wildlife is a lucrative business, making it difficult to control. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is actively involved in working with governments, scientists, private organizations and other concerned groups to preserve and protect our endangered species.

Headline Namibia: Two Years After Intependence 
Caption Description Namibia's long struggle for independence came to an end on 21 March 1990. The United Nations Transition Assistance Group (UNTAG) had helped implement an independence plan that had provided for the territory's demilitarization, the abolition of all discriminatory and restrictive laws, and free and fair elections for a national constituent assembly. Today, UN agencies and volunteers are lending their assistance and their expertise as the Namibians set about the formidable task of nation-building.
