"But there are also many who support the rogue rewilders. Scientists note that they can reintroduce a species within a matter of days — instead of waiting for years behind lines of bureaucratic red tape. It’s one of the reasons wildlife lovers often praise the rewilders for bringing back these often beloved species."

The #Na̱mǥis #FirstNation located in #AlertBay on #BritishColumbia #WestCoast has relied on #salmon as a main #FoodSource for thousands of years.
Salmon are #sacred for #Indigenous people living there, but that #legacy is now #threatened by long-term consequences of #industrial #FishFarms over the last 3 decades.
Namgis are one of several BC native ppls I've worked w/ to #ProtectWildSalmon over many yrs. #WildSalmon are #KeystoneSpecies & are #AtRisk

I've been involved in trying to #SaveWildSalmon for over a decade. Several of my #FirstNations friends & colleagues have been in the fight for much longer. The funding is needed. However, the funds won't help to save/protect #WildSalmon in #BritishColumbia if #BCNDP government still allows mass #destruction & #pollution of #salmon #habitats . FYI, #OldGrowth #forests are essential for wild salmon survival & vice versa. Salmon are also a #KeystoneSpecies here.

Researchers uncover extraordinary #navigation skills of #bogong #moths in NSW Snowy Mountains. "If the bogongs stopped coming to the mountains, entire ecosystems could collapse from the bottom up”
I remember them being sprayed with #pesticides and sucked up with vacuum cleaners in Sydney.

#Rewilding #CA: This year marks the launch of a $1.44 million per year California Department of Fish and Wildlife (#CDFW) program to bring #beavers back to #watersheds throughout their #historicrange in the state.
“We agree: time for California to embrace beavers,” CFDW director Chuck Bonham wrote in a January 2023 op-ed in Outdoor California.

American #bison are essential to the #ecology of the #GreatPlains, a #keystonespecies that plays a critical role in the #ecosystem’s health. Bison keep the vegetation in check, and “wallowed, rubbed, pounded, and grazed the #prairies into heterogeneous ecological #habitats.” CBS Sunday Morning shares 4.5 quiet minutes of the bison living freely within #Yellowstone #NationalPark. Turn the sound up.

I almost forgot it's International #Beaver Day.
What initial environmental elements are required to reintroduce this #KeystoneSpecies? Is there an elevation limit? How much of the year must the stream flow? If introduced during a wet year, will their dams be sufficient to survive a #SoCal summer?

Now would be a really good time to reintroduce #beavers into the California landscape.
*GOOD. Keep open net fish farms out of BC waters. Mowi is nasty. They still haven't cleaned up their abandoned hatcheries too. I have evidence. Sent to DFO.*
The federal government is standing by its decision not to renew licences for 15 open-net Atlantic salmon farms in #BritishColumbia ’s #DiscoveryIslands , despite recent court challenges.

Today, February 2 is #WorldWetlandsDay.
A day for action to help restore damaged or degraded wetlands, & a day to educate on the importance of wetlands. Please consider #Volunteering to help. In #Scotland the greatest #volunteer team working to secure & restore our depleted & degraded #wetlands are the expanding population of re-introduced #beavers 🦫🦫
They need our help too. For more info see:

First #reintroductions set in motion with support from the European Wildlife Comeback Fund! 🐀🪲🦅
The aim of the fund is to scale up #KeystoneSpecies comeback across Europe. Over the next months the fund will support a wide range of releases 👇

Heidi says, don’t blame the beavers for changes in the arctic. If you like the #arctic the way it was TOO BAD BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN RELEASING #carbon FOR 100 YEARS and didn’t do anything to stop or slow down even when we could have and now its screwed so there. Gosh I wish there was something that could help make it more livable.”
