National Audubon has designated Saturday, March 12 as Arctic Action Day. Once again, Congress is contemplating legislation that would open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), North America's last pristine wilderness, to drilling for oil. To show communities and Audubon members what is at stake and what would be lost if this area is industrialized, National Audubon has provided us with two stunning films, Oil on Ice and Being Caribou. Jamie Anderson of Many Voices Booksellers has agreed to provide a place for us to show these films (as DVDs). We'll show them Saturday afternoon, beginning at 1:00 p.m.

Audubon Magazine’s October issue had a “State of the Birds” report that made the shocking assessment that 23% of North America’s 654 native birds were declining in number, some precipitously. Chief among the reasons was habitat loss, as people use more and more land for houses and food production. The article listed specific actions bird lovers could take to keep common birds common, and reverse the decline of those species which are losing ground. This month, The Current begins a series of articles focusing on these actions. .  more
