Idaho Department of Fish and Game estimates Idaho’s wolf population decreased to 1,235 Officials with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game estimated the wolf population in Idaho to be about 1,235 wolves as of May 2024, which state officials said Thursday is a decrease of almost 100 wol...

Idaho says it has 1,235 wolves as of May 2024- a drop from last year. But the state also changed its counting method, raising concerns. With a goal of slashing the population to 500, shifting estimates may be more about politics than science.

Ein völlig falsches Signal und ein Rückschritt auf Kosten der Natur – so muss man den Vorschlag der EU-Kommission für das kommende Mehrjahresbudget bewerten. Vor allem die geplante Auflösung des LIFE-Programms ist inakzeptabel. Damit würden direkte Mittel für den Schutz der Biodiversität fehlen.

This is incredible. A 300-million-year-old story, coiled into stone - more precious than gold, honestly.

Just stunning ✨

286 Wolves, One Unhinged Congressman—and a Government Ready to Finish the Job A new bill from Rep. Paul Gosar aims to gut Mexican gray wolf protections—not because recovery is complete, but to appease the livestock industry’s war on native wildlife.

Rep. Gosar (R-AZ) & 10 anti-wolf members of Congress have introduced a bill to remove the Mexican gray wolf from the ESA. Not because the species has recovered. Not because the science supports delisting. Simply because the livestock lobby can’t handle coexisting with carnivores on public lands.

Rep. Gosar just introduced a bill to strip all federal protections from Mexican gray wolves — a move that could decimate one of the most endangered mammals in North America. Only 286 remain. This bill can’t pass. #SaveTheLobo #ProtectESA

Conservation Groups Sue Feds for Alleged ESA Violations in Wolf Decision - Mountain Journal Conservation groups in federal district court last week alleged the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service violated the Endangered Species Act by inadequately considering challenges faced by gray wolves.

Once ranging across the continent, gray wolves now occupy 10% of their historic range. Conservationists are back in court urging the fed. gov. to restore protections in the Northern Rockies, citing habitat loss, genetic decline & political interference in science-based management.

Your favorite campgrounds, hiking trails, and forests could soon be up for auction Republicans want to make 250 million acres of public lands eligible for sale to housing developers.

I know everything is on fire but PLEASE contact your representatives about the selloff of public lands. It's a heartbreaking proposal that will destroy the soul of America.

Less livestock ➡️ more trees.

And this is how extinctions too often happen, if we let them. Incrementally, cumulatively via isolated ‘development’ projects which on their own seem innocuous. Strategic landscape environmental assessment is essential: far better than project-specific EIAs.

Graph showing the progression of destruction of native grasses with increased cattle grazing.

We advocate for the removal of all livestock from public lands. A healthy prairie will store almost as much carbon as a forest. Cattle are an invasive species and graze very differently than the native species here in North America, destroying the terrestrial carbon sinks.

Planned as the “world’s first five-minute city” where everything you need is within a 400m walk … this is the new (former industrial) Nordhavn district in Copenhagen.

How in the hell can wolves, a keystone native predator, be a "threat to biodiversity"???

Nobody should have any illusions: the misinformation when it comes to the ecological crisis is easily on a par with, and probably exceeds, that of climate denial.
