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.
The Wilderness Conservation Society is working in conjunction with the Lava Lake Institute for Science and Conservation to document the movement of pronghorn through the Craters of the Moon/Pioneer Mountain region of central Idaho. 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:
“There was a time when the average reader read a novel simply for the moral he could get out of it, and however naïve that may have been, it was a good deal less naïve than some of the limited objectives he has now. Today novels are considered to be entirely concerned with the social or economic or psychological forces that they will by necessity exhibit, or with those details of daily life that are for the good novelist only means to some deeper end.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“The greatest block today in the way of woman’s emancipation is the church, the canon law, the Bible and the priesthood.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
