Here is a correction letter from Paul Baicich. See if this smooths things =
out.

Dear Birding Friends,
I sent you information last week on efforts to promote Conservation =
Through
Birding. If you liked what you read on the CTB site and responded to
"info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" your message may have been lost on
Friday. The instructions on the CTB web site were ambiguous, and those in
my letter were incorrect. The CORRECT response address is
<info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.
If you DIDN'T respond, well, that's OK. You still may want to visit the
site occasionally to see what folks supporting Conservation Through =
Birding
are up to:
<http://www.conservationthroughbirding.org/>

I received this e-mail from Paul Baicich of ABA and wanted to pass it =3D
along to you all. If you are interested, please read to the end to get =
=3D
the correct contact information.

As you know, a number of thoughtful birders have been working to develop a
new set of standards, a set of values, to overcome what they view as the
split personality in birding. Instead of the "conservation vs. birding"
false choices that are presented to far too many birders, we are proposing
a new "Conservation THROUGH Birding" approach.
What started as an e-mail dialogue a few months ago by a half dozen
concerned and active birders, coalesced at a meeting of about a dozen =3D
folks
in the Rio Grande Valley in February and led to a lengthy panel discussion
at the March Partners in Flight conference in Monterey, California. You
were there; you know what the message was about.
I invite you to take a look at what this loose group has been discussing
and has done. And I ask you to consider joining us in this effort, in
working with us. What begins as a set of standards will be developing into
some serious and practical activity.
Please look at these pages to see what we have to say:
<http://www.conservationthroughbirding.org/>
If the message resonates with you, I hope you will wish to add your name =
=3D
to
the list of Conservation Through Birding supporters. To add your name to
the supporters' listing and join our monitored listserve on the CTB theme,
send an e-mail expressing that interest (with your name and home town) to
<info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.
And if you want to go straight to the list of our originating supporters,
check it out on this page:
<http://www.conservationthroughbirding.org/supporters.html>
What are we starting to do already? I have written an editorial for the
June BIRDING which will address at least a few of the CTB issues. Others
among us are speaking up on these specific themes. Some of us are now
actively organizing education and community-oriented projects specifically
meant to carry out practical Conservation through Birding objectives.
Basically, we do whatever we can to put the CTB principles into action. =
=3D
You
can see some details here:
<http://www.conservationthroughbirding.org/get_involved.html>
So what does associating yourself with CTB cost you? Not one nickel.
What might it bring you? Well, if there are enough of us pushing in the
same direction we may change the entire birding culture.
Some of us that that's pretty important.
Please give Conservation Through Birding the consideration we think it
deserves.
Paul
P.S. Finally, if you are in agreement and also know a few fellow
birder-conservationist who would be interested in endorsing this CTB
approach, you might consider passing the message -- and a personal
invitation -- on to those folks.
CORRECTION!
