With these loans, families can invest in, and build, their own small
businesses and their income-earning capacity.

Center for Biological Diversity - because life is good
Ancient forests, free-flowing rivers, living oceans and deserts and the
abundance of life they contain: all these, having evolved over millions of
years, are in danger of vanishing from the world within decades. In the
grips of an explosion of extinctions that is unprecedented in history, we
are now seeing the disappearance of biological and habitat diversity
across the globe as wild lands and waters are desecrated and species are
driven extinct.
