Help Haiti

The poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, Haiti, recently suffered a catastrophic earthquake very close to its capital, Port au Prince. TIG's Patron, Michaëlle Jean, who is from Haiti recently asked for the world community to stand in solidarity with Haiti and to help support relief efforts. Please consider donating to the Red Cross or Doctors without Borders to help with relief efforts. Also contribute to informing yourself and others about Haiti's past present and future via our Haiti 2010 group blog or contribute to our next edition of Panorama which is focused on the situation.

International Year of Biodiversity

The United Nations declared 2010 to be the International Year of Biodiversity. It is a celebration of life on earth and of the value of biodiversity for our lives. You rely on this diversity of life to provide you with the food, fuel, medicine and other essentials you simply cannot live without. Yet this rich diversity is being lost at a greatly accelerated rate because of human activities. This impoverishes us all and weakens the ability of the living systems, on which we depend, to resist growing threats such as climate change. Check out the worldwide celebrations and then find out how you can participate in your community.
