MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Well said and well put! I agree that pesticides use and habitat destruction are undereported. These days it doesn't seem to matter what the story is: the American public is informed about and allowed to see or hear only half the story. I have read that chemical companies in the US still make DDT and sell it to countries in Latin and South America. I wonder if this is true ( I have only one source, so I could be wrong) how many Americans are aware that that is the case. How many birders realize that this country still makes DDT.
