| Description |
Having organised 'Project Noah' to protect endangered species, Jeff Tanager (curator of the local zoo) is appalled when several rare birds are murdered and doubly shocked when he is accused of the crime. Jeff receives support from a disembodied 'Voice' who gives Jeff power over nature. In the resulting chaos, heads of state confer desperately on ways for man to regain domination of his environment. But, it becomes chillingly clear that it may already be too late - unless mankind seeks to maintain the overall balance of nature. |
