 Photo: Tim Calver | Saving the Lemon Shark Dr. Samuel Gruber and a dedicated team of researchers and volunteers have been studying the environment and ecosystems necessary for the growth and survival of the Lemon Shark. They are extensively monitoring three nurseries of lemon sharks in the Atlantic Ocean, which they created to provide the fundamental requirements to enable juvenile sharks to grow to a size that will allow them to survive once they leave the nursery. |
| Campaign to end Dolphin Slaughter in Japan BlueVoice.org has been campaigning in Japan for more than twenty years to end the brutal killing of dolphins there. Japanese fisherman kill dolphins, both to eliminate them as competition for fish and to sell as meat. They often disguise the dolphins as whale meat. Another reason to stop the killing is that whale and dolphin meat are loaded with heavy metals and other toxic chemicals, but their main reason is that killing sentient and highly intelligent creatures such as dolphins is brutal and inhumane. |  |
 | Mississippi Restoration and Beautification Project The Mississippi River Restoration Project aims to renew the endangered health of the majestic waters, which are so vitally important to the life and livelihood of the innumerable ecosystems they support. Its purpose is to actively demonstrate the importance of clean waterways, to encourage communities to respect and preserve their waterways, and to create alliances with public and private groups toward achieving these goals. |
| The Wildlands Project The Wildlands Project represents an effort to bring the science of conservation biology, an action-orientated science using principles of biology and conservation to protect nature, to bear on the process of conservation advocacy in order to create and implement a positive vision for a biologically healthy North America. Their mission is to protect and restore the natural heritage of North America through the establishment of a connected system of wildlands. |  |
 | Coastal Dolphin Survey Project The project has conducted coastal boat surveys on a monthly basis since a federal permit was obtained from the National Marine Fisheries Service. Along with sighting data (location, number of dolphins, direction of movement, behavior, number of calves present, time, and date) photographs were taken of the dorsal fins of the dolphins. This led to the development of a catalogue of identifiable dorsal fins and, ultimately, estimations of the population size and determination of the resident status of the dolphins. |
| Sonoran Desert National Park and Preserve A group of concerned writers, environmentalists, wildlife enthusiasts, politicians and others have formed a coalition to push for national park and preserve status for a 5,000 square mile area of the Sonoran Desert on the U.S. side of the border. This area, when combined with lands already protected in Mexico, would create the largest protected desert in the Western Hemisphere. For more information on the Sonoran Desert, as well as a fascinating virtual tour of this magnificent wilderness, go to One World Journeys |
