Today I heard a story on WUSF about The Nature Conservancy (Florida) working with other groups to buy up a parcel of key Florida Panther habitat. Thank you TNC for your efforts to secure this land.

I had the pleasure of running Nature Conservancy lands during the recent Hyner 50K trail event. It was great not only to enjoy the various logging railroad paths and trails, but also to ask Conservancy volunteers about their management of the tract.

Our 2nd Grade class in Boulder, Colorado was studying Australia and decided to earn money at home by helping out around the house, in order to bring it to school to adopt an acre in Australia.

Hi my first and second grade class studied the rain forest and we wanted to do something to preserve this land of great and important diversity. We collected pennies and our goal was to adopt an acre. We collected 7 thousand pennies and raised 70 dollars. I would appreciate any acknowledgement you could give them. They are the students of Larry Nigro's class at San Geronimo School in the Lagunitas School District in the great state of California.

One planet, one life. We're humans spoused to act as one on developing our Earth unlike what is happening right now. Earth is our only home. Currently, humans' systems that were built & were put on duty those days are harmful to the planet, every single day we're increasing the destruction of our home, of our lives, of our world, this harming cycle still active unless we fix it to become more reliable and less harmful (An entire green life) Everyday pass without stepping forward, life steps back. go green from now, or bigger disaster later. "Me we".

because i understand the importance, and love the beauty of all creatures and plants life. I see many oeople take it for granted. So i breed tree and bull frogs also squirl rescue when i can. want to see this cause grow further for the sake of all nature, and education of importance of connection from one to all would like to maybe take up a little honey Bee colony.

The South Florida of today is a far different place than when I moved here in 1968. The changes have cost the environment dearly. I joined the South Florida Audubon Society as Director of Wildlife Policy and Conservation Chair to rty to end the senseless paving-over of South Florida. I'd like to think I am helping to make a difference.

Since my Mom Mrs. Maria de Jesus M. de Marqueda started to do activism in Mexico 25 years ago, Nature coservancy has been a daily topic in our family conversations, also my wife Inna Shapiro is doing a lot of work in environmental health issues to help the Berkeley, CA communities. So i guess joining this movement is a way to show solidarity to all ecologist's and family principles and ideals, hope i can put my grain of sand to the big cause and hard work of helping healing the world one step at a time. A big hug to everyone that tries to make this world a better place to live for our children, as my mom did for me.

I love our beautiful world and I love the way you help keep it beautiful!

Observing such diversity within plants and animals give me so much hope for tomorrow. Personally,that serves as a bond connecting everything. It's a challenge as well as a duty for those of us who appreciates this diversity to preserve it through all that can be done. I recently visited an images I captured within a tree, a while back. The image had disappeared and the tree was infested sadly. On my way back, there was only one question painfully running in circles on my mind. "How many more of such hidden beauties are to vanish before we all disappear?" It's a shame, a real shame.
