I'd thought DDT was outlawed because it was driving bird species towards extinction? When I was a boy, 30 years ago, hardly any raptors-can't ever recall seeing a hawks or eagles. Now they're quite abundant.

Of course though, weighing some bird populations against millions of people with malaria-I think I'd be for selectively using DDT again-but uneasy about decimating the wildlife.
