Alone in the Wilderness

Treaser for an awesome Documentary - Alone in the Wilderness

A certain part of me really wants to run away to a wild place and live in nature. I don't really want to do it but there is a side of me that longs for it.

Into the wild

A VERY good book about someone running away to the wildness and not really knowing what they were doing. A big budget film is coming out soon about this story.

Very interesting article on the Enviroment and It's protection

Save SteelHead and Save Ourselves.

One of the reasons I want to become a biologist is to help save and protect speices like the steelhead, Altantic Salmon, and Striped Bass.These amazing animals can only be destroyed though man's action, rather that be the overfishing and poplution or simply not doing anything to help save them now that we have hurt them badly.
The article it's self doesn't have any facts in it but rather sums up rather nicely how I feel about protecting wild fish.

Cool as hell biology sites

Story about the Encyclopedia of Life

Slashdot Post about it

EOL

Fish Base

WikiSpecies

Tolweb Tree of Life

Integrated Taxonomic Information System

They are all cool species indexes. One day I will be a biologist. It's something like this that I really want to do with my life. Use what I have learned in Information Technology and combine it with biology. Hopefully Marine biology, helping to conserve and rebuild either Atlantic Salmon or Striped Bass stocks. Something I always wanted to do but never felt I had the chance nor the support from the important people (my parents) in my life but I do now. Thank you Katie, it means the world to me that you want me to do something that I dreamed about and will make me happy.
