The United Nations is marking 2008
as International Year of Planet Earth (IYPE). It is certainly time
for us to take stock. For almost four billion years Earth and Life
have had interwoven histories and recent research by earth scientists
and biologists has revealed some wonderful new insights into those
interactions. The programmes developed during IYPE by
scientists across the world must help us to understand our unique
human responsibilities for our own fate. We cannot take the Planet
for granted!
