The arctic tern carries out the longest migration of any creature on Earth a journey of more than 36,000 kilometres (or 22,000 miles) from the Arctic to the Antarctic and back again, each year!
To the last drop
To the last drop The world has a limited supply of water, which is
in danger of running out. As the world's population rapidly
increases, the need for water is far greater. However, because of
human activities and pollution, fresh water sources are quickly
disappearing. Countries around the world, like Africa, Egypt, China
and India are already facing water shortages, and people are
already fighting over water. It is only a matter of years until
water, which is the key to growing food and, ultimately, human
survival, vanishes. The world needs to work together to protect
remaining water supplies and to discover ways to supplement their
growth. APRIL 1999
