Bill Moyers, acclaimed producer of television documentaries, is filming a special environmental program that examines the changing status of the world's ecosystems. Bill Moyers Reports: Earth on Edge, inspired by World Resources 2000-2001: People and Ecosystems: The Fraying Web of Life, features stories about farmlands in the U.S. Midwest, forests in Canada's British Columbia, reefs along Brazil's Atlantic coastline, watersheds in South Africa, and the grassland steppe of Mongolia. In each of these locations, the focus is on the people whose lives depend on these ecosystems and how that dependence affects the ecosystem. World Resources 2000-2001: People and Ecosystems: The Fraying Web of Life, like the program, is structured around five ecosystems--agroecosystems, coastal ecosystems, forests, freshwater systems, and grassland ecosystems. The research of the Pilot Analysis of Global Ecosystems (PAGE), the first attempt to analyze the extent and condition of ecosystems on global basis, is the scientific basis for the report.
