Sharpe's Longclaw and nature conservation

Biodiversity is in the air! It's Heritage Week in my country, and there's a healthy number of emails and stories going around of nature conservation and appreciation. There's a great "what can we do ourselves, right now, to help" attitude too (could it be the effect of summer holidays?) -- it's so uplifting.

Like last week's carrotmob, A group of birdwatcher-bloggers have started a small environmental project which could really take off some day. For now it's simply an experiment to answer the question: Can a birdwatchers' blog (10000birds.com) gather enough donations to support a conservation project in Kenya?

The photo above is from that website -- a Longclaw in grasslands in Kenya. Take a look at this blog post to learn more about it, and how you can chin in to help.

(By the way -- over 400,000 people have watched our ForestLove video in just under a month. I'm telling ya, biodiversity is hot!)
