More than one billion poor and vulnerable people living in the world’sdrylands, where efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals faceparticular challenges and thus have lagged behind.

Almost three-quarters of rangelands show symptoms of desertification.Over the past 40 years, nearly one third of the world’s cropland has becomeunproductive, often ending up abandoned. The unremitting stress ofdrought, famine and deepening poverty threatens to create social strains, inturn creating the potential for involuntary migration, the breakdown ofcommunities, political instability and armed conflict. Indeed, human,environmental and social vulnerability come together with unusual forceand symmetry in the world’s drylands. Climate change will only exacerbatesuch pressures.

In this International Year of Biodiversity, we must remember thatdrylands are areas of enormous biological diversity and productivity. Thirtyper cent of the crops that are cultivated and consumed in every corner of theworld originate in drylands. The biodiversity of dryland soil also plays acritical role in transforming atmospheric carbon into organic carbon - theearth’s largest pool of organic carbon.

When we protect and restore drylands, we advance on many fronts atonce: we strengthen food security, we address climate change, we help thepoor gain control over their destiny, and we accelerate progress towards theachievement of the Millennium Development Goals. On this Day, let usreaffirm our commitment to combating desertification and land degradationand mitigating the effects of drought; and let us recognize that enhancingsoils enhances life.

The project waslaunched on 1 January2000 and completed on28 February 2002. Thefacility was put intocommission in 2003. Itbenefits 4000 acres offarmlands: 2000 acresof monsoon andsummer paddy fields,

LONDON, 16 June—Upto 100,000 lives could besaved every year if aknown drug were given toseriously bleeding traumapatients, says a reportfrom a global trial.

The research reportedin The Lancet shows thattranexamic acid (TXA),which helps blood to clot,could lower the risk ofdying by 15%.

Developing countrieswould benefit most fromthis treatment, say re-searchers after studying20,000 patients.

Each year 600,000 in-jured patients bleed todeath worldwide.

World Health Organi-zation figures show thatnearly six million peopledie each year from inju-

ries, which accounts for10% of the world’sdeaths. Most of thoseinjury deaths occur indeveloping countries,where deaths from roadtraffic crashes and homi-cide have been steadilyincreasing. Almost halfof those deaths are causedby bleeding.

Although previoussmaller trials had shownthat TXA reduced bleed-ing in patients undergoingmajor surgery, this wasthe first trial to test its ef-fect on injured patientswith severe bleeding.
