"Everyone knows about the depletion of the earth's rainforests, the thinning of the ozone layer and the threats to the giant panda. but there' are local problems too that people dont even think about." he says. 1.. • During'the puppet show. which has also been presented in Clinton. Bayfield and Zurich. students learn that 80 to 90 per cern of the swamps. marshes and.forests in Huron Countyare disappearing. causing flooding and a decrease in water quality, And. along with the disappearing wetlands is disappearing habitat for wildlife. Endangered species. such as the bald eagle. live in Huron County and others. such as the golden eagle. peregrine falcon and whooping crane. fly through Huron County while migrating. "People don't even think about the bald eagle living in Huron County. They're not common but they are here. Most people who see them just think it's another turkey vulture." says Ridley. ' .Other local problems include soil.erosion. tree harvesting. 'algae blooms in lakes and rivers and littering along the ' highways. After repeating a pledge to protect. the local environment. rparticipating•children received a, certificate reiterating the pledge. , "The whole purpose is to give them something that make, them aware of the situation and maybe do some research themselves about local problems." he says.
