Duck Stamps Save Extinct Species?



It looks like the dollars raised from Duck Stamps in Arkansas are being lauded as part of the reason an extinct species of woodpecker is still alive. The report was seen yesterday on CNN news online.

The Ivory-billed woodpecker was thought to have been extinct, but Scott Henderson of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission points to revenues gained from Duck Stamp revenues and the programs they fund. The lost woodpecker has been seen again after a 60 year abscence.
