In 1992, through its Wildlife and 

 Habitat Initiative, the Foundation 

 awarded challenge grants to 26 wildlife 

 and habitat proiects committing $576,340 

 in matching hinds, which in turn were 

 increased to $2.2 million by our conser- 

 vation partners. 



The charge is sometimes made that 

 saving species — plants and animals — is 

 primarily "a moral and aesthetic issue." 

 But the truth is more disturbing. Species 

 make up habitats, habitats make up 

 ecosystems, and ecosystems are the 

 basic life-support systems upon which 

 all Earth's species depend, be they 

 orchids or orioles, herons or humans.
