I' m concerned about Maple Farm Sanctuary , whose founders are two of the seven subjects in our new film , and I was wondering if you'd be willing to reach out through your blog to let people know that the sanctuary is in a financial tight spot right now. The sanctuary runs on a very modest budget of approximately $55,000 year.

This means that once an animal arrives at the sanctuary they become a permanent resident, and will remain until such time that they pass away, be that a matter of days, weeks, months or years. To date we have welcomed more than 175 animals to the sanctuary, and there have been more than 80 who have peacefully passed away while in our care.&#.

Describing trails – or organized bird outings – as “easy” just isn’t enough information. For example, the boardwalk at the Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary surely makes for much more accessible birding (and fabulous birding for everyone), but the area loses some of the natural characteristics of the Everglades. Easy for who…?!).

However, these islands that were predator-free sanctuaries eventually turned into ecological sinks. Aleutian Cackling Geese are another bird very familiar with the Pacific; they are the only species of goose that nest on Alaska’s remote Aleutian Islands. It is depressing and angering and just wrong. It is what drives evolution.

Here’s an idea: find out if there’s a wildlife center or nature sanctuary near you. Since the end of the year is coming, you can also make a donation in your own name (and if the organization is registered, take both of them off your taxes). What to do? Google the name of your town, followed by “wildlife rehabilitator.”
