Sometimes the results of our efforts are slow in coming. Another victory celebrated last year was from our efforts of over 30 years ago. Long feared to be extinct, the ivory-billed woodpecker was spotted in the exact location that was targeted in the 1970’s to be dredged and drained by the Corps’ Cache River Channelization Project. National Wildlife Federation stopped the Corps then, and this year stopped it again by working alongside Arkansas Wildlife Federation to secure a court ruling that blocks a Corps-sponsored irrigation project in the ivory-bill’s habitat. National Wildlife Federation now shares with Americans the reward—the return of the fabled ivory-billed-woodpecker, the largest woodpecker in the United States.
