And one species humans is largely responsible for the crisis according to the grim report released monday at a world conservation Congress in Spain. The state of the worlds mammals report is the most comprehensive Ever. It is the result of a collaborative five year Effort by More than 1,700 experts in 130 countries including Canada who collected information on the animals distribution habitats ecology threats and human use. It covers everything from the tiniest mammal the Bumblebee Bat to the largest the Blue whale along with the 349 newly described species found since 1992. The researchers conclude that not Only Are one in four mammal species threatened with extinction but More than half of All mammal populations Are declining. Our results paint a Bleak picture of the global status of mammals worldwide the team concludes in its report to be published in the journal science later this week. While depressing the researchers say the findings should be empowering. The comprehensive data amassed can and should be used to inform strategies for addressing this crisis and identifying priority species and areas for conservation. They say time is running out for More than a thousand species. The staggering component of this study is that it shows one of four mammals species could be gone in the foreseeable future says co author Andrew Derocher a leading Bear biologist at the University of Alberta. And the Pace of the disappearance seems to be increasing at a phenomenal rate. The situation is particularly dire for land animals in Asia because of the combined Impact of Over Hunting and habitat destruction says the report noting that 79 per cent of the monkeys and other primate species in the Region Are threatened with extinction. And Marine mammals Are victims of our increasingly intensive use of the oceans with whales porpoises and other Marine mammals getting tangled in fishing nets hauled in As by catch or hit by vessels the report says. The scientists sum it up saying of the 4,651 species for which enough data is available 1,139, or 25 per cent Are now threatened with extinction. Marine species Are a particular concern with an estimated 36 per cent of species threatened. Species not classified As threatened Are not necessarily Safe they say noting 323 mammals Are classified As near threatened. And for 52 per cent of All species for which data exist trends show the populations declining. On a More positive note at least five per cent of currently threatened species such As the european Bison and Black footed ferret have stable or increasing populations. But the Overall trend does not Bode Well for the worlds animals says the report noting the situation will Likely deteriorate further in the near future unless Steps Are taken to conserve the animals and habitat they depend on. Mammals in North America Are not As heavily hunted As they Are in other parts of the world but Derocher and other co authors say Canada has Little to be smug about. Many once common animals such As the grizzlies wolves and Bison that used to roam across much of North american have been wiped out on much of their Canadian Range.

We know that the pneumococcal vaccination can alter one of the Complex mechanisms of atherosclerosis one of the Steps in the formation of atherosclerotic plaque said principal investigator or. Danielle Pilon of the University of Sherbrooke. So we wanted to see if this could be replicated in clinic. The hypothesis was that if the vaccination can alter one of the Steps in atherosclerosis formation perhaps it could decrease the risk of heart attack. And this is what we found. Atherosclerosis is a disease in which plaque comprising fat cholesterol Calcium and other substances in the blood builds up on the insides of the arteries. Over time plaque hardens and clogs the arteries which can Lead to potentially fatal heart attacks or stroke. Pilon a specialist in internal Medicine and clinical pharmacology said vaccination was associated with a More than 50 per cent decrease in the rate of heart attack following inoculation.
