VO-NAT Kevin Clifford has been hired as

the Head Coach of the Highlanders.
Clifford was last a Head Coach at
Patrick Henry.

That stint ended when Clifford
was convicted of misdemeanor assault
for striking a player in the face after
a P.H. game against Halifax County

Clifford then resigned as the
Head Coach of the Patriots and appealed
the conviction.

A judge in Halifax County
reversed the verdict, and Clifford was
cleared of the charges.

This past season Clifford served
as an assistant coach at Cave Spring

China's panda boom has resulted in

However, their popularity is proving

Cuddly pandas are spoiled with
attention in Wolong, China� but the

desire to see these rare bears up close
might be hurting this endangered

species.

SUPER: VIDEO FROM:WORLD WILDLIFE
FEDERATION

As tourism grows, up to 3000 wild
pandas living in the same region could

be under threat� Only half of their
habitat in southern China�s remote

bamboo forests is protected.

(FAN ZHIYONG, in Chinese with English
voiceover)

Road construction and hydropower plants
have infected the area, explains

the World Wildlife Fund�s Fan Zhiyong.

SUPER:VIDEO FROM:WORLD WILDLIFE
FEDERATION

Conservationists caution that

development separates panda groups,
making

it tough for them to meet� and to mate.

(CELIA HATTON STANDUP/WOLONG,CHINA)

The challenge is to balance booming
tourism with the protection of

pandas living in the wild. All of this
construction is taking place

inside the Wolong panda reserve�
originally, this was meant to be a

place that would allow pandas to thrive
away from humans.

Panda breeding centers are one of this
region�s few economic bright

spots.

(CHEN LINQIANG, in Chinese with
English voiceover)

In 2006, the number of visitors
increased dramatically, says Wolong

official Chen Linqiang.

The government vows tourist dollars
help protect wild pandas� human

garbage is leaving a lasting mark on
the area.

But human ingenuity is too� China�s
fertility experts have boosted the

Several new breeding centers are in the
planning stages � bringing more

curious onlookers to this quiet corner
of the world. Good news for

tourists, but maybe not for the pandas.

An Australian environmental group,

As part of its so-called "Toad
Buster" project, Frogwatch is dedicated
to wiping out the toxic toad species
that's killed countless Australian
animals.

The cane toad was imported from South

America in the 19- 30s in a failed
effort to control beetles on sugar cane
plantations.
