The Last Thanksgiving
For most Americans, Thanksgiving is a day to gather with friends and family and share in the heavenly bounty that has been bestowed upon them; except of course, for the first Americans, whose idea of that particular holiday might not be quite so romantic. Returning to Plymouth, Massachusetts, the site of the very first Thanksgiving, a crack team of operatives from (the original) Homeland Security have arrived to stage a two-pronged, surprise attack in a bold effort to take back Cape Cod by hook or by crook or by any means necessary. When the Army sends in their own team of crack operatives, they soon encounter the same dilemma that plagues the Indians; wild cards that suddenly start coming out of the woodwork; leaving both sides with little other choice but to roll with the punches. When all seems to be lost, the unlikeliest of heroes emerges to try and save the day

Bryophytes are of great importance in their ecosystems and for human well-being. They stabilize soil crust through colonization of bare grounds and rocks; they are essential in nutrient recycling, biomass production, and carbon fixing; they control water through an effective retention mechanism; and they have economic value as peat for fuel, horticulture, oil absorption, and as sources of a wide variety of chemical compounds. Bryophytes have long been used for medicinal purposes and provide a food source for reindeer, geese, ducks, sheep, musk-ox, lemmings, and other rodents. Threats include deforestation, cultivation of forests, reclamation of land, urbanization, roads, dam-building, mining, drainage of wetlands and over-grazing. This plan reviews the situation worldwide and proposes a variety of initiatives. It is aimed at those who work with and care about nature conservation, including governmental and non-governmental organizations as well as politicians and the general interested public.
