Top 10 Conservation Groups
 
 
(Important Note: The Nature Conservancy and the Paul Allen Foundation are admittedly purchasing entire ecosystems throughout North America and the Pacific Northwest. THIS FACT should get some serious attention, because the intent has nothing to do with flora and fauna, or 'protection' of anything, but rather about Control of EVERYTHING. There are private property owners within these ENTIRE ECOSYSTEMS that contribute to their own private property demise by supporting such groups -- they need to know, as do all the media that has not yet been zippered.)

In recognition of the efforts of conservation advocacy groups, Dr. Reese Halter and the staffs at Global Forest Science (www.globalforestscience.org) research facilities in Banff, Canada, have identified their top 10 conservation groups for 2003.
 
Groups were identified according to the contributions made in the areas of resources, funds and innovations to environmental and wildlife conservation.
 
Foregoing a traditional ranking system, Reese determined that each of the conservation groups that made the list were of equal value, and are listed here in no particular order:

* Ducks Unlimited, protecting waterways throughout North America and educating children.

* Conservation International, dedicated to maintaining the biodiversity in tropical regions, and working with Starbucks to sustainably promote coffee harvests.

* Nature Conservancy, purchasing fragile ecosystems throughout North America, while protecting the environment, animals and forests.

* Audubon Society, protecting birds, particularly those of high elevations in sub-alpine and alpine regions, and developing outstanding children’s programs.

* National Geographic Society, supporting treetop ecology work in tropical forests, and providing excellent children’s programs.

* The David & Lucille Packard Foundation, supporting ecosystem conservation throughout the Pacific Northwest.

* The William & Flora Hewlett Foundation, supporting basic forest science research toward understanding conservation biology in the Pacific Northwest.

* Gordon E. & Betty Moore Foundation, extensively contributing to protection efforts of the waterways of southern Brazil.

* The Pew Charitable Trusts, protecting the Northern “boreal” forests and waterways.

* Paul Allen Foundation, purchasing fragile and unique ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest.
