4/13: Here's the link to Maya Lin's newest (last) memorial What is Missing. This is an interactive memorial designed to record the changes/losses in our environment over time, the stories about what were are losing and have lost and conservation methods for protecting what's left. Please spend a little time exploring. If you click on the species icon at the bottom, all of the dots on the map will reveal species that are endangered. When you click on the stories icon, each dot links to a story connected to species we are losing.
