Obviously human conflict comes in many forms, but this is, at least in part, a #roadecology story: Grizzly range is no longer expanding because they've bumped into I-90 and the many other highways that encircle the recovery area. wyofile.com/yellowstone-area…

This one's a heartbreaker. California condors--a landmark wildlife rewilding success story--are now threatened by avian flue, @JulietGrable reports, in this partnership w/ @Revelator_News

Heartbreaking and enlightening thread on the immense challenges of preventing Asiatic cheetah roadkill in Iran. Fences and underpasses work, yes, but it's difficult to mitigate the entire domain of such a rare and wide-ranging carnivore. #roadecology

We often underestimate roadkill as an existential threat—but, esp. for large carnivores with low fecundity & large home ranges that overlap with highways, it absolutely is. The death of a single female Asiatic cheetah (or Texan ocelot, or Iberian lynx) is cataclysmic. #roadeology

The world is moving forward and accepting the fact that COVID-19 (and other viruses) are part of our lives. Sad realization. Clean indoor air would protect everyone!! Without, people are forced to assess their own risk. I am going to keep pushing leaders to clean indoor air.

And "good" rate as defined by who? Maybe ~25 years ago that $1/word began, at least in enviro/science journalism, as a competitive rate. Which begs the question: How can editors/pubs justify paying the same amount decades later, which, inflation adjusted, is criminally low now?
