The quoted section below about communications towers is from the 'Defenders Organization' who do some brilliant work on trying to help with conservation issues... even if you come upon this post too late to take action on this particular crusade... you can find out about other issues by visiting the link below, and then clicking the link to their 'Home Page'.


"Did you know that millions of migratory birds die each year as they collide with communications towers? But these deaths can be reduced.

I just wrote to the Federal Communications Commission, urging them to do something about it. You can, too -- just go to this website to take action:

Towers & Birds

Between 5 million and 50 million birds are killed annually when they collide with communications towers and related structures such as the support wires. Around 230 bird species are affected -- over one-quarter of all bird species found in the United States -- including 52 species that are in decline, like the cerulean warbler, black rail, Bell's vireo, the golden-winged warbler, Swainson's warbler, Henslow's sparrow, Bachman's sparrow, and McCown's longspur.

The FCC has the power and the obligation to do something about it. Changes to the way communications structures are lit for safety can go a long way to preventing millions of bird deaths each year.

Write to the FCC today! Tell them to develop rules to help birds safely reach their destinations. But hurry -- the deadline for comments is Monday, April 23rd!"

For all our readers in the USA... are you interested in conservation, the environment, global warming, climate change, saving endangered species?

Do you think that an individual voice will never be heard?

There IS a way.

Even for non US citizens, there is a way, as you can join and sign some of the petitions... even though you won't have an influence on voting and other internal matters... which is obviously only fair.

Just check out the League of Conservation Voters website. Click Here to visit the website and see what it is all about. Don't miss it! Definitely a most informative and fascinating read.

Alternatively, or as well as, you could sign up for their e-mails... here.
