Wilderness is a great idea. We should have more of that, in more places, connected by wildlife corridors through not wilderness places, less of them in more places.
Not for "future generations," but for itself, a place where natural processes, limitations and evolution can occur on their own terms, not to satisfy human greed and desire.

it's #SpitballSunday
(yes i just made this hashtag up because I wanted an excuse to post the following)
#MassTransit and #PublicTransit
because #CarbonReduction in #Transportation
also because less #LandUse footprint with higher density
also because less time wasted finding a freaking parking space
also because better #HabitatConnectivity with a mixed matrix of green spaces amongst urbanization, serving as #WildlifeCorridors
this in turn improves #watershed recharge and reduces #stormwater management and #flooding problems because there's less #impermeable surfaces
mixed matrix of businesses, residences, and green spaces improves local economic #resilience by helping local businesses, and also improves #SenseOfPlace
sure, some people will want to live far out in the exurbs on big lawns but not everyone should be condemned to this #CarCentric infrastructure

Research from Europe has shown large #solar farms can enhance the diversity and abundance of plants, grasses, #butterflies, #bees and #birds.
What’s more, vegetation between solar panel rows can also provide travel corridors, nesting sites and shelter for #wildlife. Management strategies are key to maximizing these benefits of solar farms.

#ClimateChange is leaving African elephants desperate for water.
"Community management projects, such as in Northern Kgalagadi in șBotswana, show how local expertise – drawn from millennia of experience and knowledge – can guide #wildlife management. Research has shown successful outcomes – both socially and ecologically – in places where #elephants share landscapes with people."

There’s a surprising amount we can do in our own gardens to create and maintain #WildlifeCorridors that allow for freer and safer movement of the #wildlife around us.

Researchers wanted to learn more about the mammal diversity in #WildlifeCorridors near the US border in Sonora, #Mexico. A #TrailCamera survey revealed 21 species of medium- to large-sized animals. http://ow.ly/y31z50Mfq1s

As a permaculture farmer, one of my roles is to increase native biodiversity on my farm. This can be done in cities, everywhere, and is worth it no matter where you are. Good to see the world pledging to protect 30% of the world's biodiversity. With good design, we can regenerate biodiversity in areas disturbed by humans as well. This article shares good news on this front - progress. #permaculture #biodiversity #wildlifecorridors #regenerativedesign Gift article: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/19/climate/biodiversity-cop15-montreal-30x30.html?unlocked_article_code=P7ivRR3oePptbagq7Fnp9Ygpa_LoRJ5ElPXrvH7y42PWFtNC3L9Sfy1jCq-GCzbXBtHVQVo8T4sbnOKO3zl_II3j3VMJngO7BF8mKC1WrcEdBLGxrk7FM4o6Pg2XvVRuJ6dCJHXlq8OuzFh_RX_6Yn0LmvKqcusfvenlkNVuug_4HH_I6RHd_ICRixrCAGbjVeCiD7sFP3-a4EDp8gZX2_B-P7mKyS_jIPTHbB7S6AghCTU0I2QRAQW2LyVVUSpXrI1DDpw0FNIp-GVTorZTjJ34Mu58CB6AhBLilUeLGl3sEMglNedZ1bIJwodFph_zSUTI8UzcYxbqQYf6cghxAl6TPt9jSHTzRkQ9ag&smid=share-url

Let's all break out a tissue for poor #MountainLion #p22, famous for becoming alone and isolated in LA's Griffith Park. He was the figurehead of a successful campaign to build #wildlifeCorridors through the city. But recently he killed a small dog and was captured, only do discover he was badly injured, probably by a car, and generally in poor health. I only learned of his existence a few weeks ago. Sorry. Wish you had a better life, fella.
