Hi, I just thought you or your readers might be interested in these statistics, which just updated onto our web. A comparison of the total areas under protection in all the countries of the world: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-T/env_are_und_pro A comparison of the Biosphere Reserves in all the countries: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-T/env_bio_res_are CO2 Emissions in all the countries of the world: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-T/env_co2_emi A comparison of the pollution from nuclear waste in all the countries: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-T/env_pol_nuc_was Fresh Water pollution in all the countries of the world: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-T/env_wat_fre_pol The statistics are from the World Resource Institute, UNEP & OECD. So they should be pretty reliable. We also have other statistics on endangered species, emissions, pollution etc. Anyway, I hope that''s of interest.
