One of the greatest threats to migratory songbirds is the surge in aggressive sun-grown coffee. In Latin America, coffee has traditionally been grown under the canopy of the rain forest, and a majority of the remaining regional rain forest is on coffee farms.

    WAR CHILD ANNOUNCE "HEROES" AN INCREDIBLE BENEFIT ALBUM FEATURING EXCLUSIVE CONTRIBUTIONS FROM various artists including BECK (photo courtesy of NLM)BECK doing a cover of Bob Dylans "Leopard Skin Pill Box Hat", and DUFFY covering McCartney's "Live & Let Die". SIR PAUL McCARTNEY said I have been supporting War Child since 1995. Their work with children in war zones saves lives and their work with those who take decisions that help them to do something about it saves even more lives. I think Duffy’s version of Live and Let Die is great - I was really impressed. The breadth of talent on this project is amazing; it’s great that so many people gave their time, energy and support to this initiative. I urge everyone to support War Child.
