From the News: Could Endangered Species Act changes affect animals in Memphis Zoo conservation projects?

They say every cloud has its silver lining.  At least on crumb of good news that can come out of the proposed efforts to weaken the Endangered Species Act is that is gives the zoo and aquarium community a chance to step up not only their conservation methods, but also their communication strategies.  We need to work harder to pick up any slack that the government is starting to drop in the fight to conserve endangered species, as well as to reach out to the public and remind them of the ways in which they can help.
