Consider one simple fact: Lesser prairie-chickens survive today ONLY because of caring private landowners who steward nearly all the remaining habitat. A resounding “Thank you!” to those landowners participating in voluntary conservation. If Americans are to save the last fragments of prairies and lesser prairie-chickens, these landowners and their neighbors deserve our support.

Everyone is invited to a United Nations survey! The UN observer with specific expertise for biodiversity, nature conservation and sustainable use is IUCN, so do visit our Naturalliance site too. In each case choose your language at top right.

• Practice Social Distancing--keep 6 ft. space between people;
• Follow rules about travel and wear a mask if you can when around others; 
• Sanitize surfaces people touch and of things you buy;
• Wash your hands often with soap for 20 seconds, especially before touching mouth, nose, eyes or food.

Measures against future pandemics must also be devised wisely, based on the best science. New laws should avoid harm to rural livelihoods and to nature conservation.
