#TheDayAfter

At dawn after a snowstorm, a Raven is about to take off with his breakfast; a chicken leg.

Nature Canada Responds to the 2024 Federal Budget

My Nature Canada colleagues and I welcome the federal budget commitments to increase care for natural spaces, especially to expand national protected areas:

Central Coast NMCA Reserve;

Ojibway National Urban Park;

Pituamkek National Park Reserve.

But there are also many areas where the government continues to announce ambitions, without taking steps to fulfil them. It repeats its longstanding promise to end corporate welfare to fossil fuel and logging corporations; I await the day when it will keep that promise.

Canadians are struggling with inflation for necessities.  And too often, nature is pillaged for the few, rather than preserved for the many.

I am glad the government acknowledges it can only solve these crises together.  I hope its deeds will eventually match its words.

CA Redwoods to Be First National Park Co-Managed with a Native American Tribe That Used to Own it https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/ca-redwoods-to-be-the-first-national-park-co-managed-with-a-native-american-tribe-that-used-to-own-it/

questionable headline aside this is good news

The Yurok will be the first Tribal nation to co-manage land with the National Park Service under a historic memorandum of understanding signed on Tuesday by the tribe, Redwood national and state parks, and the non-profit Save the Redwoods League, according to news reports.

The Yurok tribe has seen a wave of successes in recent years, successfully campaigning for the removal of a series of dams on the Klamath River, where salmon once ran up to their territory, and with the signing of a new memorandum of understanding, the Yurok are set to reclaim more of what was theirs.

#EarlyTrespassing

Yesterday morning wasn't the right time, neither the right moment to trespass a Coyote territory.

At first sight we've been clearly spotted by this couple of Coyote. Usually they don't care much about humans as long as we're not trespassing their territories in the middle of their breeding season; unfortunately we're just at the beginning of it. Like most wild animals, Coyotes can be easily offended during this time and by any means necessary, will protect their family as well as their hunting territories on which they count on to feed their youngsters. The female seems relatively calm but still cautious of our presence contrary to the male who was agitated, noisy, and didn't seem to be in a mood to socialize with us. ( mindful-hempress )

Sure the fact that we suprised them didn't help the situation. So slowly we decided to leave this area going, backwards.
