Friend's Enemy

Friends of Our Future, considered one of the nationÃ¢s most effective habitat preservation organizations, is threatened with extinction. "FOOF" is an important part of the conservancy chain, maintaining vast habitat preserves for birds, wolves and other animals. When a journalist enters the archives of the organization - founded by her deceased mother - to find entire regions devoid of legitimate conservation, the increasing temperature could severely affect FOOF's ability to bask in corporate sponsorships. Experts point to the organization's ability to survive, even thrive, in its degraded habitat. Others maintain that it should lose its protected status. Friend's Enemy explores how we save our future.
