FROM THE ARTIST
"In these days of stress and tension, we are too prone to forget that one of the oldest and surest of all releases from the complexities of human problems is the contemplation of the natural world around us. This medal was designed as a reminder that God created animals like the puma, of absorbing interest and beauty quite apart from man, and that, despite jet planes and guided missiles, wild geese still fly the sky."
