MEET JUAN CROW
--------------
(12 may 2008) Immigrant Latinos in the United States are living under
a "matrix of laws, social customs, economic institutions and symbolic
systems" hauntingly similar to the Jim Crow laws that once
institutionalized race segregation in parts of America, writes
Roberto Lovato.

WWF-INDIA CALLS FOR MEASURES TO SAVE RHINOS
-------------------------------------------
(12 may 2008) Lax enforcement and profitability have emboldened rhino
poachers in India and Nepal. The situation has left WWF-India
extremely worried about the protection of this endangered species of
large mammals. It has suggested a slew of measures to take on the
criminal gangs engaged in the trade.

STUBBORN MILITARY CAUSING MISERIES IN MYANMAR
---------------------------------------------
(12 may 2008) Experts warn that non-availability of fresh drinking
water, tardy relief work and health care measures are pushing the
cyclone-hit Myanmar towards a major public health catastrophe.
Inflexibility of military in not allowing most foreign aid workers is
only adding to the woes of affected people.
