In the wake of a disaster that left more than 1,200 dead and still more buried and missing amid rubble, Bangladesh, and the international community, are left searching for answers. The collapse of Rana Plaza, a nine story building in the capital city of Dhaka, has raised new questions about the necessity of effective building codes and regulation in low-income countries, and the true costs of cheap manufacturing.

"Intensive efforts to achieve the MDGs have clearly improved health for people all over the world," said Dr. Margaret Chan, Director-General of the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO).

Giant pandas, tigers, gorillas, marine turtles, polar bears, rhinos, whales and elephants are among the endangered warns the Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).
