<br/><br/> "As a scarred Afghanistan crawls toward peace, Western scientists plan to examine its desolate landscape, punished by war, drought and more war. The United Nations is leading the first environmental assessment of Afghanistan in 25 years, a task that will tally damage done to everything from crops and water supplies to endangered animals." (THE SEATTLE TIMES) The author describes the environmental impact years of conflict have had on Afghanistan and highlights the United Nations' efforts to help restore the region, including its ecosystem.
