WILD ALERT: See live webcast from Arctic Refuge
This was sent to me by my cousin & good friend, James Mitchell:
Even as Congress is preparing for September's landmark vote on
drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the caribou are
completing their annual migration to the very place where
drilling is being proposed. On the coastal plain of the Refuge,
tens of thousands of caribou are congregating now, giving birth
to their calves, and taking advantage of the nutritious forage
and protection from insects and predators that the coastal plain
offers.
For the first time ever, you can witness this extraordinary
natural spectacle for yourself -- live, as it happens. See More
Wildlife Systems -- a groundbreaking innovator in wildlife
photography and satellite distribution -- is coordinating an
unprecedented live satellite webcast from the "1002 Area" of the
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the very place where drilling
is proposed, so that Americans can see for themselves some of
what's at stake in the debate over drilling there.
Beginning this Sunday, June 12, through Tuesday, June 14, you'll
be able to watch live video of the 140,000-strong Porcupine
caribou herd on a special website:
