The plains zebra is the only species of wild equid not near or on the verge of extinction. Both the Grevy's zebra and the mountain zebra are listed as endangered, along with one other species in the family Equidae. While plains zebra populations remain plentiful, their numbers diminished greatly in the last century. This is for several reasons. Humans hunt them for sport and their skins.
Glyphosate (Roundup) Linked To Cancer of the Lymph Tissue In New Study. A new review on the relationship between pesticide exposure and the risk of blood cancers in the lymph glands (lymphomas) has confirmed the existence of a link with the world's most popular herbicide glyphosate (aka Roundup).
Why arenât my weeds dead yet? This is all to do with the way Roundup gets to work on weeds. The weed may look healthy still on the outside, but rest assured the plant is dying on the inside. Roundupâs systemic action sees the weed killer moving down through the plant to kill the roots. Usually, within two weeks, the leaf tips will start to wilt and turn brown. Roundup works faster when weeds are actively growing. If weeds are not growing vigourously (e.g. in cold weather, or if the plant is stressed by drought), the process may take up to 4 weeks.
