About RangeNet's Friends: It is our hope that the network of
RangeNet's friends will come to reflect the truth in Friedman's
"The World is Flat" by representing a broad spectrum of cultures
and interests. Flat or round, we only have one Earth - and it needs a bit of TLC
(tender loving care) from all of us if we and our descendants are to continue to
survive, prosper, and flourish!
Twenty-four of RangeNet's TOP FRIENDS are featured below. Western Watersheds Project, our parent affiliate, is a permanent TOP FRIEND. The other 23 TOP FRIENDS are randomly selected from among all of RangeNet's friends. Newly selected TOP FRIENDS start on the top row of the list, and rotate to the bottom of the list and then out of the list in a few days.
