Interesting points made in this article. I just finished an article about a popular trout stream in Tennessee (popular because of the non native trout tailwater fishery).
The resource manager recently made decisions that many anglers feared could destroy the fishery, in an effort to accomodate some endangered mussels and darters.
So, I found this article really interesting.
It’s good to be home, and back on FR.
the planet is doing what it has always done: Changing. That we've played such a significant role in that is secondary to the fact that, as always, the planet will be more hospitable to some species than others.
Very true, but it's near blasphemy now to say it. A while back, the great Kenn Kaufmann wrote a piece for some birding magazine (I subscribe to them all so I can't remember which) saying the same things about certain bird species. Yes, the cerulean warbler may be in trouble, but other species — such as the northern rough-winged swallow — are thriving under habitat changes.
And so goes the world.
