16.6.2013 |
Daily Kos |
| Every week Daily Kos diarists write dozens of environmentally related posts. Many don't get the readership they deserve. Helping improve the odds is the motivation behind the Green Diary Rescue. In the past seven years, there have been 230 of these spotlighting more than 12,964 eco-diaries. Below are categorized links and excerpts to 50 more that appeared in the past seven days. That makes for lots of good reading during the spare moments of your weekend. [ Disclaimer: Inclusion of a diary in the rescue does not necessarily indicate my agreement with or endorsement of it.]

Re “Value of wolves: Feds must maintain some oversight” (Our View, June 11): Although U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Daniel Ashe declared victory by stating “Wolves are recovered and they are now in good hands,” I share serious concerns with the 16 scientists with expertise in carnivore taxonomy and conservation biology who believe delisting is terribly premature. The feds are gauging gray wolf recovery solely on the Northern Rockies and Great Lakes wolf populations. Under the Endang... ... |

If wolves are removed from the list of endangered species nationwide, this would mean no protection for wolves entering Utah or any other state. Take a look at Yellowstone National Park since wolves were reintroduced. Many plant and animal species, absent for decades, have re... ... |
