RE: Katrina vs. LA environment
This is what people involved have to say to your indifferance.
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Sept. 9, 2005 – Ducks Unlimited, the world’s leader in wetlands restoration, is pledging $15 million to help restore coastal wetlands in Louisiana damaged by Hurricane Katrina.
“Ducks Unlimited will work with partner conservation organizations, federal conservation agencies and the state of Louisiana to protect and restore 52,000 acres along the Louisiana coast by 2008,” said Ducks Unlimited Executive Vice President Don Young.
“What’s happened in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina is a national tragedy,” said Ducks Unlimited President Dr. Jim Hulbert. “The human loss and suffering is staggering. To get people’s lives back to normal as quickly as possible requires not only that services and homes be restored and rebuilt but also that the critical coastal wetlands that help protect those homes and people be restored too. Wetlands restoration is what Ducks Unlimited does best.”
