Whale Massacre on Faroe Island

Pilot whales are listed as 'strictly protected' by the Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats. Yet, every year some 2,000 whales are savagely massacred as an archaic 'rites of passage' ritual.

Kudos to artist and writer Rod MacIver for producing a gorgeous edition of one of the most inspirational books I've ever read and animated films I've ever seen -- The Man Who Planted Trees. Rod's journal includes the story by Jean Giono and interviews with the film animator Frederic Back. Buy it at Heron Dance.

Global greed is out. Local sharing is in. The Wall Street system failed us; this book is a great guide as we build the alternatives. Kudos to David Korten, one of our most brilliant economic thinkers.

Thanks to Denis Slieker and Jos van Assendelft for writing Our Balancing Act: the real value of ecosystems. The book emphasizes the need to put a monetary value on the services provided by forests in order to provide a business case against unsustainable conversion. Buy the book at www.theforestenterprise.com

The Indianapolis Prize is the largest individual monetary award for animal species conservation in the world and is given as an unrestricted gift to the chosen honoree by the Eli Lilly and Company Foundation. The award is an energetic and spectacular celebration of conservation victories and puts heroes, who live in danger of both wild beasts and poachers, on the pedestal that we usually reserve for sports and entertainment stars.
