[not my usual fare (word play very much intended), but a fascinating and data-driven study; the study is not definitive, of course, but it adds to the scientific knowledge base, including with the socio-economic considerations…]

🎣💼 Oh no, the Feds are firing people and now the fish are in peril! Apparently, the Great Lakes' $5B fishery is on the brink because someone's job got axed. Who knew bureaucrats were the real apex 🦈 predators? 💸🐟

Excellent news! 5 #GreyWolves were just released back into the Colorado’s Rocky Mountains wilderness. 10 - 15 more wolves will be released into the area by mid-march 2024.

The wolves were originally captured in the state of Oregon, examined by a veterinarian, deemed healthy, then released back to their native land.

I’m celebrating!

@990000 point is that #NIMBYs will be pissed off either way: They don't want #ApexPredators nor #Hunters to regulate the population.

@the_real_hal @SecularJeffrey #Wolves aren’t just predators they’re #ApexPredators. They’re central to the functioning of #ecosystems, regulation of disease & the maintenance of #biodiversity. They help to maintain healthy populations of prey species by taking out the old, sick & injured. Wolves in fact are beneficial. They make everything around them stronger, healthier, more agile & alert. The Yellowstone is an excellent example of this.
