Will tomorrow's children have the opportunity to see a bald eagle? To hear the call of a loon? To know the special wild places that we have enjoyed? Or will the wildlife we know be as remote to them as dodo birds and grayling are to us?

The trend is sobering:

• Michigan has lost much of its original wildlife habitat.
• Wetlands have been drained.
• Only a tiny fraction of the original prairie lands survive. Over the last 20 years, a variety of Northern grassland bird species have declined 25-80%.
• Current agricultural practices have eliminated many of the boundary areas that used to serve as habitat for birds, animals and native plants.
• Hundreds of miles of streams have been polluted or degraded by erosion.
