"Wilderness is an anchor to windward. Knowing it is there, we
can also know that we are still a rich nation, tending our resources as we should--not a
people in despair searching every last nook and cranny of our land for a board of lumber,
a barrel of oil, a blade of grass, or a tank of water."
-- Senator Clinton P. Anderson

Saving a Place for America's Predators
Predator Project works to conserve and restore
ecosystem integrity by protecting predators and their habitats: Saving a Place for
America's Predators.
We advocate on behalf of the grizzly bear, wolf, lynx, wolverine, fisher, marten,
black-footed ferret, swift fox, burrowing owl, coyote, mountain lion, and black bear. We
also advocate on behalf of important prey species, such as prairie dogs, elk, and certain
fish, because these animals provide predators with the necessary food and/or habitat.

The Dying of the Trees : The Pandemic in America's Forests
Caught as we are in a spell of denial and backlash, we're told that
environmental concerns have been greatly exaggerated and we no longer need all those pesky
laws and regulations. Not so fast says environmental journalist Little, everything is not
okay--trees are dying all over the U.S. Little presents the terrible facts about such
calamities as the extinction of the eastern dogwood, the toll acid rain has taken on trees
from Vermont to North Carolina, and the human-caused plague killing California's ponderosa
pine. He also explains how logging and fire prevention alter the composition of forests
and lead to such fatal imbalances as the massive increases in regional populations of the
tree-killing gypsy moth. Little traces the origins of all these forms of tree death to 150
years of full-throttle industrialization and then firmly reminds us that trees are
essential to life on earth as we hope to live it. Sobering, responsible, and eloquent,
this is an important book. Donna Seaman
