A campaign to save the meadows that inspired the Alice in Wonderland author Lewis Carroll has heralded a dramatic rise in the fortunes of endangered wading birds.

	In the early 1980's campaigners saved Otmoor from being developed as part of the M40 motorway

Snipe, lapwing and redshank are all suffering long-term decline across Britain but are now thriving at Otmoor nature reserve in Oxfordshire, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary.

But the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds was only able to establish the protected wetland after conservationists fought off plans to build the M40 motorway through the area, which lies between Oxford and Bicester.

The moor, divided by hedges and ditches into a grid of fields following enclosure, caught the eye of Carroll as he looked down from the top of Noke Hill.

The view is widely believed to have inspired the chess-board imagery of Through the Looking-Glass, the 1871 sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

In the early 1980s one local campaigner bought a small field to prevent the M40 being built. Dubbed Alice's Meadow, it was then subdivided into around 3,500 plots, each around 33 sq ft, which were sold to groups and people sympathetic to the conservationists.

This posed an insurmountable hurdle to the compulsory purchase procedure, which required that each piece of land go through the lengthy process of valuation, identification of landowner, service of CPO, notice period and possible appeal.

s a result the Government's preferred route was withdrawn in favour of an amended plan and the battle to save Otmoor was won.

With the land saved from roadbuilders the RSPB and the Environment Agency were able to buy 1,000 acres of farmland near Alice's Meadow and turn it back into wetland with the help of local farmers.

When they began the project in 1997 there were only 80 pairs of breeding waders in the whole of the Upper Thames Tributaries.

Now there are well over 200 pairs, with around 90 breeding in Otmoor. They include five pairs of snipe - more than half the population in central England.

Snipe numbers across England and Wales have fallen by 61 per cent between 1982 and 2002, with lapwings sinking 40 per cent.

Their wetland habitat was largely drained during the 20th Century for agriculture. Between 1940 and 1980 20,000 sq km of wet grassland was drained and today only 30,000 sq km remains.

	'What we need now is more Otmoors'

Had the original M40 route been followed it would have run alongside the Otmoor reserve site and a dual carriageway link road would have been run right across it.

Funding for the reserve came largely from the Heritage Lottery Fund, which provided £2.5m, along with £450,000 from the Landfill Communities Fund.

Graham Wynne, RSPB chief executive, said: "The achievements at Otmoor are truly inspiring. Through this major restoration project, we have saved the wading bird population in this part of England and proved that we can reverse the habitat losses that centuries of wetland drainage have inflicted on our wildlife.

"The development of this fabulous nature reserve has also helped to bring about improvements to the wider countryside.

"What we need now is more Otmoors. We need more wetlands, not only to provide safe havens for birds and other wildlife, but to help reduce flooding and pollution, and to provide wildlife-rich places for people to enjoy."

Dr Rebecca Tibbetts at Natural England, said: "The reserve and RSPB have acted as a superb catalyst to neighbouring farmers to encourage them to restore the area back to wetland habitat.

"The reserve continues to provides a rich nature resource from which to expand, and it acts as a fantastic buffering support to the species and habitat of the adjacent Otmoor Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)."

Scientists have developed a new technique by which they are able to create cloned sperms. In future this technique could enable men with very low sperm counts to become fathers.

This technique has been tested in mice where a single healthy mouse sperm was injected into a mouse egg from which all the genetic material was removed. The sperm then was able to make more sperms on its own. Scientists have stated that further refinement of the technique will make it fit for humans as well.

Some experts have however raised safety concerns as some mice made from cloned sperms were abnormal. However, still four of these offspring had grown into normal adults.

Researchers now will need to figure out why some mice were born abnormal. They however believe that the technique had enough potential to be used in humans.

Fertility is a common problem and one in every seven couples attempting a first pregnancy face this problem and out of these couples male fertility is the reason in 40% cases.

In such a case researchers will use one of the sperm and inject it into the egg from where the genetic material will be removed, once there the sperm will develop more sperms in an effort to guarantee that the implanted embryo is healthy.

Before using the technique in humans, researchers will have to check the next generation of mice born from clone-made rodents as there might be some genetic disorders which might affect the future generations of these mice.

A revolutionary home test reveals an unborn baby’s sex at six weeks! Is the phenomenon, an advancement of medical science or a kind of bane on the human existence?

About two years ago, the Early Baby Gender Mentor DNA test was launched. It purportedly tested for fetal DNA in maternal blood to see if there was any DNA from the Y chromosome - yes means boy, no means girl. Now another similar test is being sold called the Pink or Blue test.

The consequences would be- Babies were being aborted simply for being the ‘wrong’ sex!

The cost of the entire kit is around $376. Its opponents fear that it might create a massive leap in abortions if would-be parents are not having the gender they want.

Previously the gender of a baby could be known at the 20-week scan, four weeks before the legal limit for an abortion. However, the new home test would explode the conventional test which confirms the gender of the unborn.

The Pink or Blue Early Test Kit, launched on the internet this week by DNA Worldwide, is claimed to be 98 per cent reliable.

Would be moms are suppose to give a sample of their blood by pricking their fingers, the sample is then is taken on a filter paper and send it to lab for testing.

Lab technicians determine the sex by looking for the Y chromosome found in males in three tests. Each works because an unborn baby’s DNA is present in the mother for six weeks.

David Nicholson, director of DNA Worldwide said, Parents are excited by the pregnancy and want to know the sex of their baby. A lot even build an extra room or redecorate one for the baby — and they don’t want to wait until their 20-week scan to find the sex.
