There should be more of these types of conservation efforts.

Pia described how the Rutherford Dust Society (www.rutherforddust.org) was created to bring 28 private landowners in the Rutherford appellation together to voluntarily restore a four-mile section of the Napa River.

Black bears are about as endangered as sand.

What utter hogwash!

I don't think they mentioned that anywhere in the article.

Hmmmm....I wonder what they taste like in scampi sauce?

They'd be a bit of a hassle, because you'd need a lot of them.

Perhaps they'd be nice in an Alfredo sauce over some angel hair pasta.

The bear-killing, which was done legally to protect vineyard land, incited a strong public outcry in favor of protecting the bears...
While they never explicitly called the bears "endangered", the context and placement of them certainly implies it.

Bears don't need protection from man, it's the other way around.

They're going to be up to their spandex clad butts in bears within a few short years.

The Fairy Shrimp was the name of bar located in Laguna Beach back in the seventies. Or was it the Little Shrimp?

Everyone wants to protect the big fury charismatic species. Nothing new there. Heck, deer are becoming a bigger pest than rodents and still people want to eliminate deer hunting. Ahh the balance of emotion vs. logic creates problems every time.
