Peli-can!		22 Jan 2002	Daily Grist
Peli-can! Good news from the Pelican State: Brown pelicans may be removed from the endangered species list in Louisiana following a highly successful reintroduction program.

Canary Row		18 Jan 2002	Daily Grist
Canary Row Ten years ago, the nations of the European Union agreed to create Natura 2000, a continent-wide network of conservation areas designed to protect 200 habitats and 600 species. The network was supposed to be in place by 1998, but foot-dragging and local resistance gummed up the works. Now, Natura 2000 is finally becoming a reality. Yesterday, the Canary Islands, the Azores, and Madeira became the first nations to set asid ...

Winging It At a sanctuary in Georgia, therapy is for the birds	Gail Krueger	17 Jan 2002	Main Dish
Go on beautiful, get out of here," Emmy Minor says to a brown pelican, its pouch heavy with a load of fresh fish. "Time to fly." It's feeding time at the Sanctuary on Sapelo (SOS), Emmy and Al Minor's bird rehabilitation center on the Georgia Coast: time to thaw 125 pounds of fish (today it's thread herring), split the frozen rat carcasses (leftovers from a zoo), and dice up donated beef ...

Fairy Fairy, Quite Contrary		15 Jan 2002	Daily Grist
Fairy Fairy, Quite Contrary The U.S. Supreme Court refused yesterday to hear a challenge to the protected status of the endangered fairy shrimp, a tiny crustacean that lives in rainwater ponds in California's Central Valley. The decision was a boon to fans of the Endangered Species Act, but a blow to property-rights advocates, for whom the case was one in a series of recent legal crusades to limit the ...

Alien Invasion! A review of Tinkering with Eden and Nature Out of Place	Meredith Hall	10 Jan 2002	Arts and Minds
I love my hometown, but I have a bone to pick with a few of its inhabitants -- especially the green ones. It's not the lively Nader supporters of Portland, Ore., that I have hard feelings for, but rather the guileful botanic creepers that go by the common name English ivy. Botanic enemy number one is a luscious green forest dweller, a lazy gardener's groundcover, a symbol of old-world garden soph ...

Anniston Get Your Gun For almost four decades, the Monsanto Company discharged toxic waste, including millions of pounds of PCBs, into creeks and landfills in Anniston, Ala.
