NPR is playing the Radio Expeditions program, "The Birds of the Boreal" today about birdlife in the Canadian Boreal Forest. Text of the program is at: http://www.npr.org/programs/re/archivesdate/2003/oct/boreal/index.html Audio will be available online after 10am EST. Some quotes from the program: "I'm amazed at the ecological illiteracy among birders. They don't seem to understand the equation. No habitat equals no birding and no birders." "Many of these birds have American names. So if you want to see the continuation of the Connecticut warbler, Tennessee warblers, Philadelphia vireos, you've got to care about Canada's Boreal forest," ...the United States is the single largest consumer of products from Canada's Boreal. "From that perspective there's both an opportunity and responsibility for Americans to lend their voices to Canadians interested in conserving this ecosystem." ---- Glenn Stauffer Lititz, PA BirdChat Guidelines: http://www.ksu.edu/audubon/chatguidelines.html Archives: http://listserv.arizona.edu/archives/birdchat.html Listowners: mailto:[email protected]
