U.S. Plow, Bombs Wreck Vietnam Ecology Says Team
Two American scientists from the Scientists Institute for Public Information warn that U S military earth moving plows have uprooted vegetation over 750000 acres or 1 5 percent of South Vietnam causing erosion and flood risk while 15000 pound concussion bombs devastate wildlife and threaten animal life within 760 acres. They cite rubber destruction and diseased trees from bombardment. They also warn of Agent Orange stockpiles in South Vietnam and urge safe disposal before withdrawal.
