About this listen

 Wildlife conservationist Stephen Bognar and jazz pianist and singer Barbara Carroll on this edition of Fresh Air. Stephen Bognar is a field agent for the San Francisco-based international non-profit wildlife conservation group, WildAid. Bognar just returned from two months in Baghdad, where he helped with the effort to rescue and rehabilitate the animals at the Baghdad Zoo. When he arrived, only 32 of the 600 animals remained, the rest were stolen or were roaming the streets. The ones left at the zoo were suffering from neglect, malnutrition, and dehydration. Bognar helped in the efforts to care for the animals, and to find the lost ones. Barbara Carroll, the 78-year-old singer is currently performing at Birdland in New York City. This year she received three lifetime achievement awards, one of them was the Kennedy Center's prestigious "Mary Lou Williams Women in Jazz Lifetime Achievement Award." She has a number of albums to her credit, her latest the new solo album, Morning in May. (Broadcast Date: June 9, 2003)(P) and ©2003 WHYY-FM
