Yeah, it’s a balancing act, no doubt about it. And if you’ve been following me for a while here at Thriving Oceans you are probably aware that I’m not in a monogamous relationship with ocean conservation. I have a burrowing owl mistress on the side, and it’s nothing to be ashamed of.
Besides using it as an excuse for my apparent disappearance from commenting on our wondrous seas, it actually does have a rather unique, albeit indirect, connection with ocean conservation. At the end of July I was informed that a burrowing owl conservation project I submitted to Earth Island Institute earlier in the year was approved by the Board of Directors. I’m still working to get things integrated with this incredible organization, but I simply wanted to spread the word because I’m just plain EXCITED. And what an opportunity it will be as I continue my journey down the conservation path.
So where’s the link? Well, if you’ve been paying attention to the Academy Awards, Animal Planet, the news, etc., you should be familiar with The Cove, Blood Dolphins, Ric O’Barry, the International Marine Mammal Project, the campaign to end the Japanese slaughter of Dolphins, and Earth Island Institute. I’ve joined the family and will strive to be just as successful in bringing awareness and changes to burrowing owl conservation as Ric has done for dolphins.
