My long walk:The amazing story of one man's walk across Wisconsin for bird conservation

摘要

In Wisconsin, where I live, 30 percentof our 284 native birds have beenJL. identified as species of great conservation need.There's no sense in sugar-coating their plight. It's serious. But thanks to organizations like the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin, it isn't hopeless.Since 1986, it has worked tirelessly to offset declining funding for the state's Department of Natural Resources by contributing to public and private conservation efforts, developing an active membership of conservation-minded citizens, coordinating fun and educational field trips, and supporting grassroots projects. Along the way, it has helped recover populations of Trumpeter Swans, Whooping Cranes, wolves, American martens, and other species.
