3. "PRECIOUS HERITAGE" Book Release
How healthy are the lands and waters of America? Which
species have been lost and found? Where is nature holding
its own ... and where is it starting to give way?
Those are the questions that Nature Conservancy scientists
seek to answer in their new book, "Precious Heritage: The
Status of Biodiversity in the United States."
Drawing on more than 25 years of biological data compiled
in all 50 states, "Precious Heritage" provides the most
comprehensive look yet at our nation's overall biological
health. And it offers scientists and policy makers a
critical tool for determining where conservation dollars
should be spent in the coming decades.

4. READ ALL ABOUT IT!
* Six of America's hottest biological hot spots
* An essay from noted conservationist Edward O. Wilson
* The story of an eccentric Greenwich Village artist who
spends his summer holidays recording and illustrating
species in the backwoods of his native North Carolina
Those are just a few of the intriguing items you'll find in
the May/June 2000 issue of Nature Conservancy magazine.

of any known plant.

6. THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH
With spring and summer approaching, now might be a good
time to replace your worn-out home appliances with energy-
efficient models. And while you're at it, consider
replacing your standard light bulbs with energy-efficient
fluorescents.
