SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
This special issue of Audubon In the News is dedicated to Brian Rutledge,
executive director of Audubon Wyoming, and to his staff for their efforts in
garnering national coverage of a major issue and an Audubon priority:
conserving the Greater-sage grouse in the Intermountain West.
CNN tapped Brian as a leading source for a segment of its "Planet in Peril"
series, called Energy, Wealth and Wildlife: Wyoming looks for harmony. The
story describes the negative impacts of natural gas development on wildlife
populations in Wyoming, employing a multi-media approach of interactive maps,
video, and audio-enhanced slide shows to accompany the print news.
In addition to quoting him in the lead print story and in a fully produced
segment by a CNN correspondent, producers followed Brian to a gas field last
June, where they filmed his testimonial observations of the development's
impacts on the land and on wildlife. The account is depicted in an
audio-slideshow, featured on CNN's website. We anticipate additional exposure
on Anderson Cooper 360 or other CNN programming in the future.
