Within a couple of years, every country that started polio eradication rapidly eradicated all three of their polio viruses, with the exception of four countries that you see here.

Humans, livestock and pets are, now, 98 percent of the total world's mass of vertebrates on land and air.

Iraq also agrees that the coastal oil trench and oil deposit areas in Kuwait Bay are possible sources of oil impacting these locations.
