Support the Isle Royale Wolf/Moose project!

I'm sure many of you may have received the email, but to provide the maximum amount of visibility for the project, I'm posting this here.
Per the Isle Royale Wolf/Moose email:
Essentially, the project is looking for financial support to finish up the research conducted from the 2012 study.
There's fun stuff given for each donation, such as copies of the documentary & postcards, and at certain levels you get more incentives. As of this writing, the project is 29% funded.
Now, a personal plea: we all know the status of the wolves on Isle Royale, and how their fate (and, essentially, a pivot point for the island) is in limbo. The Wolf/moose study that has been going on for twice as long as I've been alive is what helped bring this to fact to light. Most of us well-traveled Isle Royale-rs have been in contact with the wolf/moose study in some way: whether it's been reading the book on the the VII over, or having a chat with Rolf Peterson himself, we all know the impact of the study. Likewise, the individuals who make this study happen need our support for their sacrifices. It's a critical part of the Isle Royale culture, as far as I'm concerned, and I encourage you to support it if you feel the same way.

A great video created by George Desort explains the project. Please help spread the word by sending the web link to others. We hope to make many new friends!
