t least once a year, we strip our organization to its bare Abones and ask the simple question: what is it, exactly, that we do? The short answer is that we put highly qualified people in places where they can best achieve conservation. A longer, and more interesting, answer is a tale about biologist Lily-Arison Réné de Roland searching a remote region of Madagascar for highly threatened Madagascar Har- riers last year. He spotted an unusual duck, and on closer observation, identified it as the Madagascar Pochard, a species long thought to be extinct. Three months later and some sixty miles south, he made another startling discov- ery—what appears to be a new species of lemur! I realized that if I had to choose,

Although clearly not of prey, these discoveries illus- trate what I have long felt to be our most significant contri- bution to global conservation: empowering passionate, dedi- cated, competent people to do the work they love. And it isn’t only biologists and -lovers who share these qualities. When Tom Cade formed , he gathered the talents of committed falconers, scientists, businessmen, attorneys, politicians, artists, and many others. His eclectic approach nurtured a synergy among diverse pro- fessionals that literally saved species. Almost 38 years later, our staff and board are now com- prised of 138 individuals from 15 states and seven countries, and we draw on the talents and generosity of thousands more. Because of them, and you, we’ll proudly continue to earn the reputation of a “can do” organization that achieves remarkable long-term results.

Every donor is very important to us, and your continuing participation makes the programs possi- ble. We thank each of you for your partnership.
