I'll never forget my first encounter with a wild orangutan. Hiking
through a protected forest in Borneo, I rounded a bend to find her
standing right in front of me in the path, staring back with bright
amber eyes that were at once intense and deeply peaceful. Nor will I
forget my first sight of illegal logging in orangutan habitat -- miles
of ancient forest turned to cut and blackened stumps in the ground.<br>
<br>
Illegal logging is taking a terrible toll on people and the environment
throughout the world. Every year, illegal loggers destroy millions of
acres of ancient forests, harming local communities, wildlife and our
climate, and pushing species like the orangutan ever farther down the
road to extinction. <br>
<br>
That's why this issue means so much to me, and why I've worked hard to
make sure that consumers like you don't have to wonder if the wood
products you're buying have contributed to the kind of destruction I've
witnessed.</p>
<p class="actionbox"><a
href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=4uJCajr%2F4p2frsDekY9W6zw5DMW0kcU0">Take
Action Today >> Congress has a chance to cut illegal logging now!</a></p>
<p>This is why I'm proud to tell you that Congress is on
the verge of taking a major step to put an end to the import of illegal
timber. A new law being considered by Congress would ban imports of
illegal wood once and for all, and put a system in place to make sure
that ban has real teeth. Along with our partners at the Environmental
Investigation Agency, I've worked hard all year to see this day happen,
but now I need YOUR help to make sure Congress follows through.<br>
<br>
I can't describe to you how important this bill is. The U.S. is the
world's biggest importer of wood products, and this landmark
legislation will be the first serious safeguard against illegal wood
imports into this country, benefiting forests, wildlife, communities
and our climate. But, corporate interest groups are threatening to make
the bill ineffective with weakening amendments. Please <a
href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=M7tem6xwPpXNdJM6aWuOcTw5DMW0kcU0">take
action</a> now to make sure that doesn't happen. <br>

p.s. Right now, Greenpeace activists are in Sumatra (really close to
where I was in Borneo) working to defend the rainforest for the
critically endangered orangutans and tigers who call it home. My friend
Hayden is participating in the forest camp there, and writing about his
experience. Be sure to <a
href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=hsIg2RfJmynT%2FQcKpmR2MTw5DMW0kcU0">read
his blog</a> to follow the story.</p>

<p>Last week we told you about our Great Whale Trail, where
we're tracking humpback whales by satellite as they make their annual
migration to the Southern Ocean. And we gave you the opportunity to get
your friends involved and help fundraise to protect the whales.</p>
<p>The response so far has been amazing! Already, hundreds
of you have created your own Whale Defender pages, and invited your
friends follow the trail. If you haven't already, it's not too late! <a
href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=BCbHGwhpeI6lbFF%2Be48Mtzw5DMW0kcU0">Sign
up today</a>.</p>
<p>Our top fundraiser right now is our very own staffer
Whitney Howard, who has raised an amazing total of $865.00 from her
family members and friends! Kimberly Smith is close on Whitney's heels
with a grand total of $420. <a
href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=9%2FOLk2revNEjYphMKeiJ7jw5DMW0kcU0">Check
out our website</a> to see what other people have raised, make your own
donations, or set up your own page. Then be sure to get your friends
involved too.</p>
<p>Here are a few tips to get going:</p>
<ul>
<li>Make sure you have sent an email to all your friends
and family asking them to help with your fundraising.</li>
<li>Send a reminder email (or txt). Most people need to
be asked more than once.</li>
<li>Put a link to your fundraising page in Facebook or
MySpace if you use them.</li>
<li>Remember you can also fundraise offline any way you
like.</li>
<li>Use our web banners to promote the Great Whale trail
if you have a website or blog.</li>
</ul>
<p>The humpbacks, several with their calves, should begin
arriving in the Southern Ocean to begin feeding over the next few days.
You can follow their progress <a

the map</a>.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for helping us to help the whales!<br>

I spent this morning at one of the dam construction sites as one of the
standby medics. I was the only one who got hurt this morning though. I
was climbing down the face of one of the dams when I used a piece of
wood that hadn't been nailed in as an anchor (always test your
anchors!). I came tumbling down into the water, along with my camera.
My camera appears like it will recover. And I escaped with only a small
scrape. Read more of <a
