As Chair of the MOU Conservation Committee, I am sending this e-mail to you
through the Minnesota birding list serves to encourage a donation on behalf
of the recent Whooping Crane loss in Florida. There are two organizations
that can accept donations (501c3) and that are working directly on the
re-establishment of Whooping Cranes. These are Operation Migration
(www.operationmigration.org) and the International Crane Foundation
(www.savingcranes.org). I also spoke with Neil Feeken at the National Fish
and Wildlife Foundation office in the Twin Cities and he told me that his
organization will match these donations (dollar for dollar) up to $50,000.
If you want to make a donation to help Whooping Cranes, I suggest that you
check out the web sites that I have listed above. Both sites have
instructions on how to make a donation and you can state the reason for the
donation. Perhaps you have a little extra cash coming back in an income tax
refund. Or, perhaps you just want to let these organizations that are
devoted to cranes know that the folks in Minnesota felt the loss when we
heard the terrible news after the Florida tornado.
