For some, it is a love of nature catalyzed by a specific time or place or element. Going into nature to look at trees or birds often, perhaps inevitably, leads to environmental activism because the birds or trees "become friends and neighbors." Joining him was David Sibley, who is doing for the next generation with his nature guides, what Ken Gale thinks Roger Tory Peterson did in the 20th century and what John James Audubon did in the 19th century. They discussed his books, of course, particularly his bird and tree books, butthey also the craft of doing different types of nature art, the connection between bird-watching and environmental activism and the effect of buildings on birdpopulations. Buildings probably kill a billion birds per year worldwide and every bird killed saves the lives of hundreds of insects. Protecting forest and water for wildlife helps human health and vice versa. Being in nature makes protecting it less abstract and more personal. http://archive.wbai.org/files/mp3/100302_110001tue11amtonoon.MP3 http://archive.wbai.org/files/mp3/100302_110001tue11amtonoon.MP3 Tue, 02 March 2010 16:00:01 GMT Shared Timeslot: Eco-Logic alternates with Green Street Eco-Logic or Green Street
