"This is an excellent opportunity for kids to learn and have fun. When we can instill an awareness and appreciation for our natural resources, the children children will remember it for the rest of their lives," says Program Coordinator Cam Brownson. "Children who care about the environment environment are far more likely to be active in conserving our natural resources," Brownson adds.

'iutiasiiD Peregrine Falcon Recovery Reaches Key Milestone For the first time in decades, peregrine falcons have successfully produced a second generation of naturally hatched offspring in southern Ontario. MNR has confirmed that a female falcon, nicknamed Amelia, is the mother of three falcons that hatched this spring from a natural nest site in the Niagara gorge near Horseshoe Falls. "These naturally hatched peregrine falcons are extremely significant," said Natural Resources Minister John Snobelen. "They show that the MNR's hard work and the work of others, to save this endangered species is beginning to pay off." MNR has confirmed, with the help of information from leg bands, that naturally hatched falcons represent what biologists refer to as an "F2" generation, a lineage that now extends from grandparents through to their grand-fledglings. An additional important factor is that the falcons themselves chose the nest sites. This evidence evidence that the birds are reproducing naturally provides another indication that this endangered raptor is sustaining sustaining itself naturally after decades of human-assisted rearing. rearing. Amelia was hatched on London's City Centre Complex in 1996. Her mother was reared in captivity ncarTcmagami, Ontario and released to the wild in 1995 and her father was reared in captivity by MNR in Maple, near Toronto and released in 1992. "We're delighted by these important developments in the peregrine recovery program," Mr. Snobelen said. "We're equally excited for tlic many partners across Ontario who have provided money and time to help make this happen." MNR has also confirmed that falcons have been hatched from a natural nest site near Thunder Bay. The male lending the Thunder Bay area nest was raised from a cliff nest in northern Minnesota, In addition, some other nest sites in Northern Ontario have unhanded adults, indicating that they too were raised from a natural natural nest. Falcons arc becoming re-established because chemicals chemicals such as DDT arc no longer being used and the quality quality of their environment is improving. Previous indiscriminate indiscriminate use of pesticides caused reproductive failure in peregrine falcons, which led to the complete loss of Ontario's nesting population for several decades. "MNR greatly relics on volunteers to monitor nests, report bird movements and assist in banding young falcons," falcons," said Pud Hunter, the MNR biologist who co-ordinates co-ordinates the peregrine falcon recovery program in southern Ontario. MNR and its partners routinely band young peregrine falcons from nest sites across Ontario. Banding of these wild birds by authorized persons allows MNR and its many partners to track the progressive recovery of this endangered species, This spring, peregrines hatched young falcons at sites in Ottawa, Hamilton and London, as well as two sites in Toronto. Populations arc also established and increasing at Northern Ontario cliff sites. Peregrine falcons arc a protected species under Ontario's Endangered Species Act, They were listed under the Act in 1973. /36 months/$1,400 down payment/ $645 freight roquirod NO SECURITY DEPOSIT PONT3AC SUN FIRE COUPE THIS FUN-TO-DRIVE COUPE IS BUILT FOR DRIVERS INCLUDED IN THIS SPORTY PACKAGE ARE... 2.2 litre engine, 5-speed manual transmission, 4-wheel ABS, PASSLock™ theft-deterrent system Next Generation dual front air bags, tinted glass, rear spoiler.
