Today
Today the WCS is at work on some 500 projects in 60 nations around the world that are intended to help protect both the wild life and the wild places in which they live. It has given support to the Forests Now Declaration, which calls for new market based mechanisms to protect tropical forests.

In two years of study they have found that pronghorn move up to 150 miles from their summer ground to their winter range, meeting up with herds from Montana and eastern Idaho.A Narrow Path for Pronghorns

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“We’re in greater danger today than we were the day after Pearl Harbor. Our military is absolutely incapable of defending this country.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“We had to take the world as it was given:
The nursemaid sitting passive in the park
Was rarely by a changeling prince accosted,
The mornings happened similar and stark
In rooms of selfhood where we woke and lay
Watching today unfold like yesterday.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“All great art, and today all great artlessness, must appear extreme to the mass of men, as we know them today. It springs from the anguish of great souls. From the souls of men not formed, but deformed in factories whose inspiration is pelf.”
—Alexander Trocchi (1925–1983)
