44 put paid
•• * To put paid to something – и этимология, и смысл этого выражения (положить конец/поставить крест на чем-либо) довольно прозрачны, хотя, может быть, не для всех в одинаковой мере. На сайте www.word-detective.com находим следующее определение и комментарий: “ Put paid to” means to put an end to or to stop something with utter finality, and is heard almost exclusively in Great Britain and Commonwealth countries. Пример из журнала Economist, комментирующего события в Косово:
•• This week’s violence threatens to put paid to any remaining little shoots of optimism that <...> things could be getting better. – Насилие, потрясшее Косово на этой неделе, грозит уничтожить слабые ростки оптимизма у тех, кто еще надеется на какое-то улучшение ситуации.

(‘Labour Monthly’) — Да, английская буржуазная пресса, известная в Англии как "четвертое сословие", хотя и принадлежит отдельным частным лицам, проявляет удивительное единомыслие, когда затрагиваются ее коренные интересы.

atmospheric ozone
A triatomic molecule of oxygen; a natural constituent of the atmosphere, with the highest concentrations in the ozone layer or stratosphere; it is found at a level between 15 and 30 km above the Earth, which prevents harmful ultraviolet B radiation, which causes skin cancer and threatens plant life, from reaching the ground. The fragile shield is being damaged by chemicals released on Earth. The main chemicals that are depleting stratospheric ozone are chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which are used in refrigerators, aerosols and as cleaners in many industries and halons, which are used in fire extinguishers. The damage is caused when these chemicals release highly reactive forms of chlorine and bromine. (Source: GILP96 / WRIGHT)

59 habitat destruction
разрушение природной среды

habitat destruction
Destruction of wildlife habitats by increasing pressure for land by fast-growing human populations, pollution and over-exploitation. Whole species or populations of plants and animals have disappeared causing a loss of genetic resource that is not only regrettable from an aesthetic or philosophical point of view but also threatens man's food supply. Habitat loss takes several forms: outright loss of areas used by wild species; degradation, for example, from vegetation removal and erosion, which deprive native species of food, shelter, and breeding areas; and fragmentation, when native species are squeezed onto small patches of undisturbed land surrounded by areas cleared for agriculture and other purposes.
