Preserving Biodiversity
In studying ecosystems, we learn that each organism has its specific place in the biosphere. When plants and animals become extinct or endangered, a fine balance is being upset. Research what is being done to prevent the loss of more species.

We Have Met The Enemy...
We should never forget that the need to make backyard habitats more wildlife friendly arises from human expansion into habitat. Recently I have been increasingly conscious of the fact that, while promoting earth-friendly gardening is clearly important, especially on the local scale, it treats the symptom while not curing the disease.
