FOREST-NEWS is the email discussion list for the National Audubon Society
Forest Campaign! Join  us as we heed John James  Audubon's plea from over
one and a half centuries ago:

"Wrestle with  mankind and stop  their increasing ravages on  nature, and
describe her now for the sake of future ages. Neither this little stream,
this swamp, this  grand sheet of flowing water, nor  these mountains will
be seen  in a  century hence  as I see  them now.  Nature will  have been
robbed of her brilliant charms. The currents will be tormented and turned
astray from their  primitive courses. The hills will be  leveled with the
swamp, and probably  this very swamp have become covered  with a fortress
of a  thousand guns ...  Fishes will no longer  bask on the  surface, the
eagle scarce ever  alight, and these millions of songsters  will be drove
away by man."

-John James Audubon, The 1826 Journal  of John James Audubon, Alice Ford,
ed., p. 346

Audubon's Forest Campaign  seeks to sustain and  restore America's forest
ecosystems and the habitat they provide  to birds and wildlife, for their
intrinsic  value and  for  the  enduring benefit  of  current and  future
generations.  We   accomplish  this  goal  through   energetic,  informed
grassroots activism backed by sound science, policy, and ethics.
