AFP – Twenty-one animal species, including the cheetah, three dolphin families and an Egyptian vulture, were added to the list of those in danger of extinction by a UN conference that ended Friday. … A spokesman for the Whale and Dolphin Society welcomed measures on increased protection for marine species, but said governments had not committed enough money to conservation. The some 170,000 euros (216,000 dollars) for conservation projects for the next three years was a "slap in the face," said Nicolas Entrupp, a spokesman for the organisation.
