Conserving birds and biodiversity in the 21st century
Where have all the birds gone?
Those who inhabited hazy, misty regions.
Those who resisted the glare of snowdrifts?
Those who inhabited the regions between shadows
to return to the light where all the birds have flown?
And why did we let them flee?
