On today's Viewpoints:

We’ll go to Cortes Island, BC where we  talk with marine biologist Misty MacDuffee. She says the number of southern orca whales has been in constant decline over the past 20 years. In Ohsweken, Ontario, a rare variety of albino hummingbirds has been observed recently. A rare phenomenon. A group of water advocates headed to Lake Titicaca in Peru to participate in an international conference and talk about how climate change has affected their communities. And we leave the air, waters and forests to take to the ice as Hockey Nova Scotia is campaigning to shelter their referees from verbal and physical abuse.

Our reporters this week, Loni Taylor, John Rune, Andrew Dow and Ed Halverson. National coordinator, Maureen McEwan. Host and producer Boris Chassagne. Thanks to all the artists who grace us with their music. Viewpoints is produced by the Community Radio Fund of Canada.
