Now, he has his own group called Protecting Our Birds.Recently,Dessi,14 years old, chatted with TFK about his work and goals for the future.TFK:What is Protecting Our Birds?DESSI：Birds are citizens of the world, so they need protection. I basically try to do conservation work to help birds get protected throughout the world. I recently wrote an article about a bird called the bartailed godwit(斑尾）.I interviewed a biologist named Nils Warnock, who had studied the bartailed godwit. He expressed the concern about the threat that the bartailed godwit is facing. I wrote an article about his answers to the questions, which is published on the American Birding Association Website.TFK:What impelled you to start this project?DESSI:When I was eight years old, our class had to do a woodworking project, so I chose a bird feeder(喂食盒). I didnt like birds at the time. I made the feeder, filled it up with seed, put it in my backyard and then the birds started coming. I got really interested in birds as more came. I later got involved in my local Audubon Society, which is devoted to conserving and restoring natural ecosystems. It really got me into birds and I realized bird populations were declining, and many are becoming endangered quite rapidly. I wanted to help them, so I started the project.TFK:What are some future projects you plan to work on?DESSI：I live in L.A., where there are a lot of parrots. Most of the parrots native range is in Mexico, but theyre really declining there because of habitat loss. I want to study the parrots and help them in their native range in Mexico, so they can start increasing again.TFK:How can people learn more about Protecting Our Birds and the work youre doing?DESSI：I have a website. Its my free website about protecting our birds. There people can learn about what I do and how to help birds.21. Whats Nils Warnocks attitude to the bartailed godwit?A. Worried.B. Changing.C.

This institution examines the civil rights struggles faced by both our city and our nation throughout the history.The Lorraine Motel:Today the National civil rights Museum is partially housed in the Lorraine Motels history, however is a short and sad one. It opened in 1925 and was originally a “white” establishment. By the end of World War II, however, the motel had become minority-owned. It was for this reason that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stayed at the Lorraine when he visited Memphis in 1968.Dr.King was assassinated on the balcony of his hotel room on April 4th of that year. Following his death, the motel struggled to remain in business. By 1982,the Lorraine Motel went into foreclosure(抵押品赎回权).Saving the Lorraine:With the future of the Lorraine Motel uncertain, a group of local citizens formed the Martin Luther King Memorial Foundation for the only purpose of saving the motel. The group raised money, solicited donations, took out a loan, and partnered Lucky Heart Cosmetics to purchase the motel for $144, 000 when it was up for auction. With the help of the city of Memphis, Shelby County, and the state of Tennessee, enough money was then raised to plan, design, and build what would eventually become the National Civil Rights Museum.The Birth of the National Civil Rights Museum:In 1987, construction began in a civil rights center housed within the Lorraine Motel. The center was intended to help its visitors better understand the events of the American Civil Rights Movement. In 1991,the museum opened its doors to the public. Ten years later, the ground was broken again for a multi-million-dollar expansion that would add 12,800 square feet space. The expansion would also connect the museum to the Young and Morrow Building and the Main Street Rooming House where James Earl Ray purportedly
