This article, Study Finds Risk to Some Birds Nesting Near Oil Fields in Alaska, it talks about the effects humans are having on the habitats in Alaska. Humans are destroying the earth piece by piece and the number of people trying to stop it is less than those who are doing it.
We seem to be in the middle of a mass extinction according to some scientists. If you think about all the animals that have disappeared since humans have been around. (The mammoth, dodo bird, passenger pigeon. Not to mention animals on the brink of dying out, many animals in Africa, the giant panda, the polar bear, bats, etc.)
Will it stop before it is too late? In my life time plenty of animals will go extinct because of loss of habitat, disease, and hunting. Most of the human race does not realize what we are doing. Lately, I have had a major disliking to what people have done to this earth and are continuing to do. However, I am just one person in a world of millions. Things are already falling apart, but life must go on...I guess.

Sandi, you need to summarize the story. What is the risk to birds that nest along the pipeline?
