As you can see in this progress report, the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation made incredible progress during 2006. We validated and made available stunning facts about our Mediterranean biodiversity and its links to society. We learnt that a quarter of our amphibians are in danger of extinction; that half of the reptile species found in our region are threatened; that water pollution and extraction are pressuring 56% of our freshwater fish to disappear, and that marine resources are in strong need of protection measures due to over
fishing, maritime traffic and coastal development.
