The Center for Biological Diversity believes that the major reason that dozens of animals, birds, and plants face extinction is the vast overpopulation of the human race. The center points out that humans are destroying habitat and creating greenhouse gases that are drastically changing our climate to the detriment of many endangered species.
To raise awareness of the human overpopulation problem, the center unleashed an army of volunteers on Valentine’s Day to pass out condoms with pictures of the spotted owl and other endangered species.

Theodore Cross, the founder of Birders United and the author of Birds of the Sea, Shore, and Tundra, has authored a new book which is available from W.W. Norton Company. Cross’ photographs include birds from four continents. From the tundra of eastern Siberia to the tropical islands of the South Pacific, Cross has captured elegant and unusual birds—from auklets and egrets to gannets and sanderlings—in peak action, be they courting, landing on a perch, plunge diving, or engaged in aerobatics.
The 179 color photographs in this 344-page book are accompanied by gracefully written field notes and fascinating accounts of the birds’ habits and habitat.
