It asserts that global health organizations must be free to employ all available tools to fight malaria and that the limited use of DDT for spraying homes and hospitals is a powerful and necessary tool in this fight.Critics say AFN does not actually fight <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Malaria_and_DDT" title="Malaria and DDT" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">malaria</a>, but is merely a pressure group that lobbies for <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Malaria_and_DDT" title="Malaria and DDT" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">increased use of DDT</a>.However, the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/World_Health_Organization" title="World Health Organization" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">World Health Organization</a> has agreed that, carefully used, DDT is a highly effective means of reducing the incidence of malaria, particularly in Africa. The WHO approved the use of DDT for malaria control in September 2006.DDT is very effective at killing the insect vectors of malaria. Compared to the harm caused by malaria, the mild harm caused by DDT (to humans) makes the use of DDT reasonable in certain areas and climates. However, its overuse for other purposes has contributed to the emergence of DDT-resistant mosquitoes and has been shown to harm birds and other animal populations, leading to bans on its use.AFM ran a "Save Children From Malaria" campaign designed to prevent the Stockholm Convention from banning the use of DDT.

The World Health Organization Pesticide Evaluation Scheme, or WHOPES, sets industry standards for nets, but the review process is slow and opaque, limiting access and competition for public resources. Although WHO approval does not preclude a donor agency or government from buying a particular brand of net, in reality governments and donors rarely buy nets that are not WHO approved. Because WHOPES only meets once a year, an unintended consequence has been to limit the number of suppliers. This has led to a market dominated by one firm, high prices, accusations of corruption in the procurement process, and reduced choice for consumers. AFM’s report received good feedback from the WHO Global Malaria Program, the GFATM and net manufacturers, and its advocacy prompted donor support for the review process."<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Africa_Fighting_Malaria#cite_note-AR2007-2" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[2]</a><h2 style="font-weight: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0.6em; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.17em; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(170, 170, 170); background-image: none; background-attachment: initial; background-color: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Personnel</h2><h3 style="margin: 0px 0px 0.3em; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.17em; border-bottom-style: none; background-image: none; background-attachment: initial; background-color: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Board Members</h3><ul style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0.3em 0px 0.5em 1.6em; padding: 0px; list-style-image: url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUAAAANAQMAAABb8jbLAAAABlBMVEX///8AUow5QSOjAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAABNJREFUCB1jYEABBQw/wLCAgQEAGpIDyT0IVcsAAAAASUVORK5CYII=);"><li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Roger_Bate" title="Roger Bate" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Roger Bate</a>, was AFM's Chairman of the Board from 2003 to 2006.

In 2004, the IRS return reveals that for 30 hours a week return, Roger Bate was paid $100,000 by the organisation. (Zambone's renumeration for her 40 hours a week had jumped from $35,00 to $60,000).<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Africa_Fighting_Malaria#cite_note-AR2004-7" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[7]</a>By 2005 AFM's income had improved little, with additional revenue of a little over $87,000. With expenses running at$273,608, AFM once more chewed into its generous initial funding grants. While Bate once more pulled down $100,000 for his 30 hours a week, Zambone's remuneration dropped back down to $35,000.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Africa_Fighting_Malaria#cite_note-8" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[8]</a>In 2007 AFM's finances deteriorated even further, with the group having total revenue of only $142,745 while expenses ran at $405,729 - a deficit of well over $262,000. With only $268,000 in reserves remaining, the group faces a bleak future unless it can tap into significant new funding sources.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Africa_Fighting_Malaria#cite_note-9" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[9]</a>In the period between 2003 and 2005, despite all the columns written by Tren as a director of AFM, the IRS returns indicate that he was paid nothing.

The organization generally "promotes market based solutions and economic freedom as the best ways to ensure improved welfare and longer life expectancy in poor countries", according to their financial statement.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa_Fighting_Malaria#cite_note-1" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[1]</a> Founded in 2000 during the Stockholm Negotiations on Persistent Organic Pollutants, AFM's original focus was the promotion of a public health exemption for the insecticide DDT for malaria control.

That's what the International Union for the Conservation of Nature claimed in a recent press release announcing the results of a meta-study the organization conducted earlier this year. One might have expected the press release to be accompanied by the underlying scientific studies. But that wasn't the case.<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.4em; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">The proper way to engage in scientific debate is to publish studies so peers can confirm or refute the findings. Frustratingly, IUCN has only released one of its seven studies, preferring to conduct science by press release. This lack of transparency—together with the well-known anti-pesticide position of many of the scientists involved—raises suspicions as environmental groups lobby regulators to ban neonics in Canada and the U.S. The pesticides are already banned for two years in the <span class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><a data-ls-seen="1" href="http://topics.wsj.com/organization/E/EU/4624?lc=int_mb_1001" class="mandelbrot_refrag" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(17, 91, 143); outline: none; word-wrap: break-word; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">European Union</a>, and IUCN is calling for even-tighter restrictions and a global phaseout.<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.4em; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">IUCN's claims rest on the idea that neonics can be harmful to bees, worms, and other fauna, and that long-term exposure can cause "impaired sense of smell or memory; reduced fecundity; altered feeding behaviour; and reduced food intake" in species that feed on plants.<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.4em; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">First introduced in the 1990s as a replacement for older, more toxic organophosphates and pyrethroids, neonics are often used to coat seeds to obviate the need for widespread spraying, thus reducing exposure to farm workers. Although we can't know exactly how IUCN arrived at its conclusions, we can examine the existing science and published data, particularly on bees. These data don't support the anti-neonics case.<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.4em; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">A paper published in March in the Proceedings of the Royal Society notes a long history of bee declines predating the introduction of neonics in the mid-1990s. Furthermore, the study finds that "there is poor geographical correlation between neonicotinoid use and honeybee decline." These are crucially important points: If neonics were harming bees, we would expect to see bee declines begin, or worsen, with their introduction. We would also expect to see fewer bees where more neonics are used. The available evidence doesn't support either hypothesis.<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.4em; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Many factors affect the health of honeybee colonies, including deadly parasites, such as the varroa mite, as well as fungi and viruses. Habitat alteration and the availability of diverse food sources also affect bees, yet IUCN apparently ignores these factors and focuses solely on neonics.<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.4em; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">And just how imperiled are bees anyway? Readily available data suggest that while bee health has been problematic for some time, warnings of a "bee-pocalypse" are wrong. Bee populations in Europe, North America and elsewhere in the world are stable and even rising. There are now approximately the same number of bee hives in the U.S. and slightly more in Europe than in 1995, about the time neonics were introduced. Canada's bee population is the highest it has been since the late 1980s. Global bee populations are up dramatically since the 1960s.<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.4em; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Bee populations can rise despite sometimes large overwinter losses. This is because bee hives regenerate quickly in the spring. But now even overwinter losses appear to be abating. An April 2014 European Commission study found that 75% of the EU bee population experienced losses of 15% or less over the 2012-13 winter—a rate considered acceptable by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. A small fraction had losses exceeding 20%, mostly caused by harsh winter conditions.<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.4em; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">In other words, European regulators know that honeybees aren't disappearing. Yet they refuse to lift the neonics ban they imposed last winter. The regulators have decided instead to shift their rationale, claiming that wild bumblebees may be harmed, even though the evidence for this claim is thin.<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.4em; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Meanwhile, the good news on bees keeps coming in. The British Beekeepers Association, which monitors overwinter honeybee-colony survival rates, found that losses were below 10% last winter, continuing a six-year downward trend of overwinter losses. Green groups understand all too well that if the facts and the science aren't on their side, a great deal can be achieved by spreading fear. And insecticides always pay dividends for any fearmonger.<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.4em; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">But great harm will arise if fear trumps science when it comes to insecticide regulation. It takes many years and hundreds of millions of dollars to bring a new insecticide to market, and there is no new, safe and effective replacement for neonics around the corner. Banning neonics simply means that farmers are forced to use older insecticides, such as pyrethroids, which are less specific and more harmful to bees and the wider environment.<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.4em; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">And people are important, too. Thanks to modern agriculture and chemicals like neonics, food production rates have outstripped population growth. We now have more food at lower prices than at any time in human history. The relatively wealthy environmentalists in Europe and the U.S. who buy overpriced organic produce aren't going to feel the pinch soon. But for millions of people in the developing world and poorer consumers in industrialized states, no neonics may mean less food at higher prices.<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.4em; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Mr. Tren is a director of Africa Fighting Malaria.</article></div></div><div></div></div>
