And somewhat dishartening. <BR/><BR/>Then again you take a some of the poorest places like Gabon and Bolivia with ecological reserves at 17.6 and 13.7 respectively and you begin to wonder. <BR/><BR/>Another interesting thing I noticed was a comparison between Egypt and Ethiopia. Egypt lives off of the Nile, yet with similar population (wow, we caught up!) to Ethiopia, <BR/>it has a higher Corpland biocapacity. Israel, which relies heavily on irrigation, has the same corpland biocapacyty as Ethiopia.tobianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064335845338916059noreply@blogger.com
