We often take time to remember family, friends, and loved ones who have passed on but what does it mean to be part of those groups? What does it take? Typically our first unspoken requirement is that they are human but what if we included animals in those groups as well. Brian Ratcliff is a graduate student at SUNY-ESF who decided to bring the celebration of remembering lost species to campus. He, together with several other students and faculty, planned the day with the hope of bringing our biologically diverse neighbors closer to our family circle.
