 Hi all,
Unfortunately, the Passenger Pigeon is only one of thousands of species =
that we have driven to extinction. Our problem is our ignorance of =
Ecology. I wrote an essay that appeared in The Chronicle Herald about =
our disregard for the realities of ecology. I can copy it for anyone =
that might be interested.
Paul Ruggles.
