NWHS Member Newsletter #11
Welcome members of National Wildlife Humane Society (NWHS). NWHS continues to conduct a special fundraiser to combat the poisoning of wildlife in Africa, such as lions, hippos, etc. $1.50 buys enough carbofuran to kill 10 lions. Even humans there are being effected.
Join our NWHS sponsored internet community, Wildlife Community Network (WCN), to find out more about this very serious problem and see how you can assist. Members who donate $30+ receive a gift (an NWHS DVD) and all donors are eligible to win a nice NWHS sweatshirt at the conclusion of this fundraiser. No donation is too small.
Or, visit WildlifeDirect's Stop Poisoning Wildlife web page, if you would like to donate without joining WCN. Look for the orange donation box.
Please help NWHS grow. Together we can build a true "wildlife conservation movement". We need new members. Please invite friends, who care about wildlife and our precious Earth, to join NWHS.

President - National Wildlife Humane Society
Founder/Director - Top Of The Rock Wildlife Sanctuary

It has just laid its eggs and is struggling awkwardly back to the sea.
For its young, however, there is just a one in a thousand chance of making it to adulthood, thanks to a deadly combination of humans, natural predators, pollution and sometimes sheer bad luck. With the help of a light, coloured red, so as not to dazzle or upset the turtle ....
