GREAT WEB SITE FOR SOUND EFFECTS like bird and animal sounds for videos such as to add to a slide show. http://www.soundsnap.com/taxonomy/term/70?page=6 IRREPLACEABLE: WILDLIFE IN A WARMING WORLD Climate change has emerged as one of the most pressing challenges facing the world today. Scientists predict that global warming will become a leading cause of species extinction over the next several decades. As we work to address the impacts of global warming on humans—rising sea levels, destructive storms, heat waves, increased disease risks and pollution—we also need to protect imperiled species from a warming world. The Irreplaceable: Wildlife in a Warming World campaign is a partnership of faith, science, justice, and art to educate policymakers and the public about the impacts of global warming on wildlife. We do this through the beauty and power of images combined with the inspiration and knowledge from science, religion, and conservation law. We believe this diverse partnership will show that we can work together toward a common goal. The Irreplaceable public education effort includes a traveling photo exhibit, this website, and many outreach events and presentations around the country. Action components includes a “Call to Care” statement to policymakers that we encourage you to sign, letters to local papers, individual actions you can take to stem climate change and promote biodiversity, as well as other steps to protect plants and animals. The photo exhibit will culminate in spring 2009 in Washington, D.C., where we will present all signatures we have gathered to our policymakers, urging them to do more to protect our wildlife from climate change. The more people get involved, the more we, together, will make a difference. For more information on Irreplaceable and how you can help wildlife, please contact us at: info@irreplaceablewild.org.
