European Community to back biodiversity treaty at Earth Summit
Britain and 11 EC nations will sign an Earth Summit biodiversity treaty to protect threatened species. Canada and Japan may join. The move contrasts with U S isolation over the policy, while EC allies back a $150 million U S forest preservation plan. Senator Gore warns the U S faces leadership losses if isolation persists. Formal sessions were suspended until tomorrow.
