Crushing ivory in Times Square, a little relief for drought-stricken California, keeping our pollinators pollinating, and more -- This Week at Interior
U.S. Department of the Interior sent this bulletin at 06/19/2015 01:15 PM EDTDear Friend,
This week, crushing ivory in New York's Times Square, and raising awareness of the poaching and illegal wildlife trafficking that are driving some species to the brink of extinction; $6.5 million in water grants to bring some relief to drought-stricken California; two more cities join the list of those looking to connect a new generation to the great outdoors; National Pollinator Week draws attention to the birds and bees, bats, butterflies and beetles that make life possible; and a Chicago has a new National Historic Landmark, just in time for LGBT Pride Month.
Thanks,
U.S. Department of the Interior
