Right now, only nine states, plus the District of Columbia allow same sex marriage while 31 states have amended their constitutions to specifically prohibit it." UN Dispatch CAR coup worsens aid crisis; constitution dissolved The Central African Republic coup by Seleka rebels is exacerbating the country's humanitarian crisis. "At the best of times, the record in CAR was not good, but it is exponentially worse," says UN Special Representative Margaret Vogt. Seleka coalition leader Michel Djotodia has dissolved the constitution and government, planning to rule by decree for the three years left in the ousted president's term. IRINNews.org (3/25), CBC.ca (Canada)/The Associated Press (3/26), The Christian Science Monitor (3/26)      Draft of UN arms treaty called a "step backwards" More than 100 United Nations member states are calling for a stronger version of the draft international treaty on unregulated arms. France and the U.K. are among the members seeking stronger language, but not the U.S., Japan, Russia and China.

The loss of these trees would hinder development of plant-based anti-malarial treatments. The Standard (Kenya) (3/26)      Low levels of Arctic sea ice contribute to changing weather Diminishing levels of Arctic sea ice are contributing to the weather changes occurring in the northern hemisphere, scientists say. The jet stream is affected by the loss of sea ice, resulting in extreme weather. "With more solar energy going into the Arctic Ocean because of lost ice, there is reason to expect more extreme weather events, such as heavy snowfall, heat waves, and flooding in North America and Europe," U.S. researchers said. The Guardian (London) (3/25)      Kenya looks to grow rice while using less water A rice-farming method developed in Asia could help Kenyan farmers produce more rice with less water, writes Isaiah Esipisu. The method involves increased spacing and younger seedlings. "I'm convinced that this is the way to go," says rice farmer Paul Njoroge Kuria.
