World Bank to Save the Tigers?
2008-06-11 06:55:00 Isn't this a bit outside of their mission?From Reuters UK:A World Bank report warned that "if current trends persist, tigers are likely to be the first species of large predator to vanish in historic times." "Just as with many other challenges of sustainability, such as climate change, pandemic disease, or poverty, the crisis facing tigers overwhelms local capabilities and it is one that transcends local borders," Zoellick said. "This is a problem that cannot be handled by individual nations alone, it requires an alliance of strong local commitment backed by deep international support," he added. Zoellick said the World Bank would convene a series of discussions with countries, conservationists and the private sector to mobilize funding for tiger conservation, and launch studies on how better to protect the cats. The World Bank chief said there were examples of where tigers had been brought back from the brink of extinction, such as in Russia and Nepal, but ...

World Bank warns flood may hit Jakarta
2008-05-29 12:21:00 The World Bank warned Thursday that an exceptionally high tide could inundate the Indonesian capital next week, forcing thousands of people to flee homes and cutting off the highway to the international airport.The situation - exasperated by global warming and the fact that Jakarta is sinking up to 2 inches a year - could mean flooding will exceed last November's roof-high levels in the hardest-hit areas, said Hongjoo Hahm, the bank's infrastructure expert."This is just the beginning," he said, as he pointed to homes reaching a mile inland that will likely be affected Tuesday and Wednesday by the 18-year semiannual tide cycle. "It's getting worse and worse."Indonesia, a sprawling archipelago nation, is one of the world's largest contributors of carbon dioxide emissions, thanks to the rapid pace of deforestation. But experts say the country is also at risk of becoming one of the biggest victims of climate change.Rising sea waters especially pose a threat to coastal cities like Ja...

Indonesia monorail scheme 'implausible' - World Bank
2008-05-23 12:14:00 A long-delayed plan to privately fund a monorail to ease congestion in Indonesia's traffic-choked capital is "completely implausible", the World Bank said here Friday.The plan to build the 27-kilometre (17 miles) network entirely with private sector money would be impossible, with the costs of running the scheme meaning heavy losses, the Bank's infrastructure specialist Hongjoo Hahm told Agence France-Presse.Hahm said a revised Bank study completed this week based on figures supplied by private firm PT Jakarta Monorail found that major government investment would be needed for the scheme to be feasible."We're saying (to the Jakarta city government) don't get your eyes glazed over by private sector guys that are trying to sell you something completely implausible," Hahm said.The Bank's findings, which were passed to Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo Thursday, are the latest major blow to the beleaguered scheme, which has been delayed amid uncertainty over funding.Indonesia News Blog: ...
