Meet Lonesome George.

Researchers believe that George is the last surviving Pinta Tortoise, native to Pinta Island of the Galapogos.  George's age is not known, but he is predicted to be about 90 years old.  He was discovered in 1971 and has lived at the Charles Darwin Research Station (CDRS) located on Santa Cruz Island in the Galapagos, Ecuador ever since.

Meet Steve and Joyce Dodd.

This Murrieta, CA. couple fund their very own Quail Ridge Parrot Ranch & Rescue.  Nestled amidst a beautiful 20-acre ranch, rescued parrots enjoy living in a state-of the art facility and if adoptable, may find a home if the right human companion comes their way.  Owning parrots is serious business, which most people don't understand.  That is why Steve and Joyce stress education when it comes to parrot ownership.  If you'd like to help them on their quest to improve the lives of our feathered friends, email them at rescue@iinet.com

The Norwegian Wolf...

less than 10 remain.

It's absolutely unconscionable that Norway would allow one wolf a year to be "culled" from their critically endangered wolf population of less than 10 wolves... yet that's the reality.  No pups were born in 2007, and 2008 hasn't seen any either.

The Baakari Creative character, NEKA the Night Sentinal, helps bring the plight of this magnificent canine to light.
