1st October 1998
All along the coast of Thailand, these mangrove forests - which once provided the very lifeblood of the marine environment - have been torn down to make way for kilometre after kilometre of shrimp farms.

This is just one example of the destruction highlighted in a new global health check on the environment launched today by the international conservation organization WWF.
