The orangutans that we see now are fascinating instances of the amazing things that evolution has made possible. As the biggest arboreal animals on Earth, they draw attention not just for their intellect and remarkable physical traits but also for the exceptional power that enables them to flourish in the tough jungle habitat. This power is not the result of random chance, but rather is intrinsic to the complex adaptations shaped by evolutionary processes across aeons of time. The remarkable strength of orangutans is the result of a complex set of adaptations that we shall examine in the following sections.

OAKLAND, California, Oct 8 2008 (IPS) – As the U.S. presidential race winds down and attack ads against Sen. Barack Obama intensify, Raymond Ruddy, a multi-millionaire conservative Catholic who over the years has been more comfortable operating in the backrooms of conservative philanthropy, appears to be coming out of the closet.
Despite being a longtime contributor to a host of conservative culture war causes often relating to issues involving sexuality Ruddy hasn t made a lot of headlines.

CAPE TOWN, Oct 27 2009 (IPS) – The South African government is in the process of drafting regulations to police genetically modified organisms (GMO) as part of the national Consumer Protection Act, but environmental experts are worried the GMO section of the new Act, which was signed into law last April, will not be put into practice.

She spoke to IPS during a panel discussion between parliamentarians and anti-GMO lobbyists on the implications of GM crops on sustainable livelihoods and food sovereignty at the Centre for the Book in Cape Town.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, Aug 9 2011 (IPS) – Only six sub-Saharan African countries have failed to reduce the number of women dying in childbirth over the last two decades. High-spending South Africa is among them, with maternal mortality rates more than quadrupling since 1990. Human Rights Watch researcher Agnes Odhiambo says this is largely due to a lack of accountability.
Maternal mortality rates in sub-Saharan Africa as a whole have been reduced by a quarter compared to 1990 levels. But the continent s most developed economy is moving in the opposite direction: South Africa s maternal mortality rate in 1990 was 150 per 100,000 live births; in its 2010 MDG progress report, the country reported this had risen to 625 per 100,000.

HIV is a big factor in maternal mortality i…

SINGAPORE, May 2 2022 (IPS) – Amidst a backdrop of rising food insecurity worldwide and a global food supply chain crisis, many countries are attempting to increase the level of food self-production. One improved input for farming which is receiving renewed attention is improved seed. The two most populous countries in the world, China and India, have recently made ground-breaking moves to improve their competitive position by developing new seeds which will improve their food production and increase resilience to climate change. So far, in 2022, new regulations on using biotechnology () have been put in place by both countries to ultimately allow smallholder farmers to benefit from these new seeds.
