the best website I have seen on animals of the eastern United States, especially the beaver and otter, mink and muskrat. Bob's amazing journal is nature observation at its best. He updates it a few times a month and it is a joy to follow him through the woods.http://www.celdf.org/
Excellent site that begins to challenge corporate law, and human centered notions of property. What is discussed her corresponds closely with what I have been calling "nature's rights".http://www.save-the-primates.org.au/facts-endangered-primates-list.htm Save the Primates.
This site lists some of the most endangered primates, Colbus Monkeys, Lemurs, Apes, Langurs, and Gibbons, among others. It discusses the horrors of "Bushmeat" gathering, the Wildlife Trade and Animal Experimentation.http://www.api4animals.org/index2.php
Born Free and Animal Protection Institute. This site leads to information about how animals are abused in circuses, for fur coats, in pet shops, the sale of exotic animals and the international wildlife trade. Barry Kent MacKay works for API, He is a wonderful bird artist, who has defended Snow Geese and Cormorants among many other species. See some of his paintings here: http://www.metalorchids.com/artists-detail-works.php?artistid=13http://www.mikehudak.com/
Mike Hudak is a courageous researcher who writes about the abuse of public lands in the West by cattle and cattle ranchers. He helps explain why cattle don't belong on western lands, and bison and pronghorn should be returned.http://www.talkorigins.org/
this is a good site that can be sued as an introduction to Evolution. The Creationists are patiently and exhaustively shown up for their ignorance and denial of the obvious facts of nature.http://www.wildnesswithin.com/
Lovely site about the great environmentalist David Brower with many links.http://calphotos.berkeley.edu/ an amazing site holding 160,000 photos of nature and wildflowers in California, the collection was built around the core of 12,000 photos taken by Alfred Brousseau.

Site about efforts to stop the slaughter and Hunting Buffalo (Bison) in Yellowstone Yational Park.

Here are some Greenpeace discussions about the destruction of the oceans, with many species in decline or disappearing, pollution rampant, deep sea trawlers destroying the ocean bottom and reefs, illegal whaling by the Japanese and others, continuing to kill. There needs to be a moratorium on bottom trawling. This subject of stopping the rape of the seas is an important and underreported one. Here is another website about the seas....http://www.savethehighseas.org/display.cfm?ID=119http://www.wrm.org.uy/deforestation/Oceania/Papua.html
The destruction of forests in Papua, Brazil, Madagascar and elsewhere is very serious and impacts global warming as well as harming animals birds and others species. It is clear that the IMF, World Bank as well as corporate institutions and local governments are behind such destruction.http://photos.wildmadagascar.org/Deforestation.html
Photos of forest rape in Madagascar " With its rivers running blood red and staining the surrounding Indian Ocean, astronauts have remarked that it looks like Madagascar is bleeding to death."
