This is a good time to acknowledge the benefits we all receive from organizations like Seattle Audubon and all the neighborhood park stewards within Seattle Parks Foundation . Envi- ronmental, recreational and wildlife organizations guard against damage to wild creatures and to our land, water, and air. • • Organizations like Pawsitive Alliance and Seattle Area Feline Rescue are fueled by volunteers who rescue, nurse and nurture animals and help them find forever homes. COVID-19 stay- home orders have resulted in more people offering to foster or adopt animals, which is good news! How- ever, animal shelters are often overwhelmed with surrendered animals in times of economic decline, so they are concerned about the impact of a long- term economic downturn. • • As the sweep of coro- navirus has made clear, all of us on this planet have a shared destiny. Washington is home to many organi- zations — like the Hope Project —whose mission is to improve the lives of people on other parts of the globe. Many of these organizations are members of Global Washington so they can learn from each other and make the best use of their resources.
