migratory birds know no boundaries

They haven't put the article online but Outside magazine has a very good piece in their Jan. 2004 issue about the group called Migrating Birds Know No Boundaries, where birders from Israel, Jordan, and Palestine are working to try to protect the migration corridor for their hundreds of thousands of migrating birds.

"UP IN THE AIR
Smack in the center of the Middle East's perpetual war zone is a flyway for half a billion migratory birds. With trouble all around, a few spirited environmentalists are on a mission to save the threatened species—and to build some rare human bridges in a battered land.

It is an interesting look at how the conflict affects the environment that doesn't look like it is trying to take sides.
