Gosh. Okay, we’re all set. Talking about the conservation foundation and it was incorporated by Fairfield. Fairfield Osborn saw the need to conduct conservation work on such things as the effective pesticides pollution and related matters that he did not feel were the work of the zoological society. So he created a new organization called the Conservation Foundation, which worked for the most part out of the Bronx Zoo’s offices and out of the offices of the society in those days, down on 30 East 40th street, they did some of the earliest really important work on the effect of pesticides. The kind of thing that Rachel Carson eventually wrote about. And in fact, Rachel Carson, who was greatly admired by Osborn and the rest of the society received one of our gold metals. Among the research efforts that they did was one that I found particularly fascinating, see birds in The Bahamas were showing high levels of pesticides in their blood and in their eggs.
