Three maps from my ATLAS OF EARLY MODERN WILDLIFE showing where wild animals were recorded in Britain and Ireland 250-500 years ago... :bunhdpeek:
I found loads of records of Pine Martens and Otters. So why no records of Beavers from early modern England..?
John Ray (1693) says 'These animals have been cut down by hunters all the way to the final extermination, and their stock in England and Wales is thoroughly extinct...'
Were they already gone?😿

Had an interesting conversation with AP's Dana Beltaji on bark beetles, 🐜🌲☀️🐜:
Officials realized by the 19th c. that planting just one type of tree over and over again wasn’t a good idea ecologically, but “the economy countered that realization because spruce was such an attractive species,” he said.
“There is a long, long prehistory, but there’s also the (climatic) change now,” said Hölzl. “We can’t really blame our forefathers for that.”

@jconnellstryker perhaps it would help to add tags too to spread the word, such as: #histodons #History #envhist #envhistodons

Are you an environmental historian who uses Tropy? How does Tropy help you organize/analyze your sources? I will be presenting Tropy to a group of environmental historians next month and I'd be interested in hearing about your particular experience! PM me or reply, I look forward to hearing from you!
