BREAKING NEWS!

Dear Friend of BioGems,
I have some very exciting news to share with you.

Yielding to pressure from conservationists, including more than 50,000 NRDC Members and online activists, the Obama Administration has just announced that it will support an upgrade in international protection for polar bears.

This is extremely important, because if the world agrees to increase the polar bear's protection under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), it would help end trophy hunting and stop the global trade in polar bear body parts.

Please take a moment to celebrate this announcement with me, because it would never have happened without the activism of NRDC supporters like you!

And let's give credit where credit is due: I encourage you to send a message right now to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar -- to thank him for doing the right thing for the sake of polar bear survival. (you can do this via the NRDC site below)

But please don't think this battle is over.

Between now and March 2010, when the next CITES treaty talks take place, we will have to expand our campaign to make sure that other key nations line up with America's pro-polar-bear position.

So much is at stake: hundreds of polar bears are still being hunted as trophies, and their body parts traded, each year. Canada, which is home to two-thirds of the world's polar bears and includes some of the world's most important polar bear habitat, still allows both trophy hunting and commercial trade.

If the polar bear is to survive, we must end these destructive practices by upgrading polar bear protection under CITES.

Around the world, NRDC has been taking a leading role on this issue. Our team recently traveled to Geneva to discuss polar bear conservation with the CITES Standing Committee, and also reached out to allies in Norway, Russia and the European Union as we build international momentum for increasing protection.

Over the next few months I'll be writing to you again with news and updates -- and asking you to take action to help protect polar bears from trophy hunting and trafficking.

But make no mistake: the Obama Administration's endorsement of tougher polar bear protection was absolutely critical, and I don't believe it would have happened without more than 50,000 NRDC Members and online activists making your voices heard -- loud and clear.

So give yourself credit, and send a note of thanks to Ken Salazar, too, for standing up for polar bears. Tomorrow, the fight continues, but for today you and I have something to celebrate!

Sincerely,

Frances Beinecke
President
Natural Resources Defense Council

why "Guardian"?

Isn't it time our best friends were treated as more than mere property, objects, commodities, or things.

The word "owner" is outdated and doestn't reflect the
human/animal bond that exists in our culture today.
The word "guardian" denotes a higer level
of responsibility towards another being.

I'm a compassionate vegan animal rescuer, and I volunteer for wildlife rescue wherever I go. I live with great rescued pets. I promote compassion for all beings in my music, artwork, writings, and other venues.
I’ve always been able to communicate with other species.
My experiences through life with all other species have been the greatest joy of all, and I continue to grow in awe about how wise, loving, intelligent,communicative, and glorious all other species are. Humans are the ones who need enlightenment - all of our other brethren are already cosmic and pure. http://www.OceanSinger.com, http://www.AnimalFix.com

My neighbor's cat sits on my driveway a lot
I like it, I wonder if the cat 'has a message' for me
or just likes to hang out there

I was always saying hi, they did not respond back, wierd..

Hi Candi and all animal lovers!

I've been enjoying this forum. I'm one of those people who 'attracts' horses! I was planning to settle for one, the rescued a horse (he's a sweetheart) from the race track, and two weeks later I was given an ex-show horse.

I didn't really know what to do with three horses, but I couldn't say 'no' to any of them. So I thought maybe there was a cosmic plan!

So I created an informal program (we're just outside of Sedona) where people can come ride horses, play with them, or learn Natural Horsemanship (Pat Parelli) where you learn the 'games' that horses play with each other - and learn how to communicate in "horse language" with your horse.

I wanted to make the horse experience 'inclusive' instead of exclusive - so these rides and lessons are on a donation basis.

If you'd like to read more about the philosophy behind this here's the site I just put up: www.sedonasolorides.com

Love, Heather

Peace,
