  DYING NATURE

  Almost one fourth of German trees are showing obvious signs of
environmental damage. This is shown in a report published in Berlin
today, another part of the work in progress done since the early
seventies. Dominant German voices have claimed for years that the grim
situation from the seventies and eighties are a thing of the past and
some has even claimed that the situation �was greatly exaggerated�. The
last few years however, the forests have once more started dying and
shown that the extensive environmental damage hasn�t stopped� It has on
the contrary worsened.
  The reports show that an extensive effort was made to correct the
damage to the northern European forests, but nothing was done with the
reason for the damage, the pollution itself. And when the funding fell
and stopped in the early nineties, the grim situation revisited itself.
  42 percent of the forest is in a so-called alarming state. The damage
is clearly visible even by a casual look. The forest floor is also
polluted to the point where in some cases nothing can grow and life is
scarcer than in the desert.
