Goal

This year I want to promote and support many of my favorite charities. Some of these will be personally important, some will be timely based on world events and some may be groups I discover over this year of giving. I hope by creating this blog, donating my daily $5.00 and bringing attention to the cause, I can change the world in a good way. Please consider following my lead by making a donation to any of the groups that resonate with you.

Saving the Resplendent Quetzal


“Saving the Replendent Quetzal” is a collaborative research project for the Biodiversity Research Institute (BRI, Gorham, Maine), the University of Alabama, and Los Tarrales Reserve in Guatemala to protect a beautiful bird species that is vanishing because of deforestation and habitat loss. Due to low numbers of nesting pairs and available nesting sites, it is IMPERATIVE to understand the Quetzal’s population dynamics in areas where they remain, and also to investigate the use of artificial nest boxes to enhance the bird’s breeding success. Funding will support a pilot study plus long-term research on the national bird of Guatemala.

Because the minimum donation for this site is $10, I won't be blogging on October 8.
