En Español: • La guerra del pájaro c...
One of the most inspiring conservation stories in American history is playing out on, of all places, a live-fire training ground at Ft. Liberty Army base in North Carolina. There, an improbable alliance is giving a special bird-the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW)-a new lease on life. After a clash between U.S. Fish and Wildlife and the U.S. Army revealed that low-grade forest fires sparked by artillery and tracers inadvertently created excellent woodpecker habitat, the two sides joined forces to monitor and protect the birds on the base. Landowners on nearby properties are joining the effort-putting aside mutual suspicions and using fire to save the RCW and ignite a passion for wildlife.
