“The most fitting memorial for the ivory-billed woodpecker & the 22 other species declared extinct this week would be for our leaders to take action and make extinction the exception…by passing the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act.” —@NWF’s @Collin_OMara usatoday.com/story/opinion/2…

The story of #BristolBay is one of changing power, as the crown of dominance periodically shifts. King Kvichak reigned cyclically supreme, then the gallant young Earl of Egegik rode his trusty steed PDO to claim the throne, and now fair lady Nushagak has donned the crown.

A growing problem in dry areas around the globe: “Soil moisture gets lower in the summer, and as temperatures rise it gets even lower. “You just don’t have the water to evaporate…As a result, the air is drier.” And vegetation too = higher wildfire risk. nytimes.com/2021/06/22/clima…
