The current strategy to save endangered species in North America is to build back populations to a level that avoids extinction, then support stops.

🐻 Three North American species: gray wolves, grizzly bears and bison are examples of how local restrictions after they reached minimal levels prevented the species to thrive.

🪶 Restrictions also limit ability of indigenous people to maintain a cultural connection.

📈 A better conservation strategy would be to measure success by creating a thriving population participating in its natural habitat. But this would require a new vision and policies.

#FungiFriday

🌳 Brazilian study used small amounts of Amazonian dark earth (ADE) in forest restoration and found it supercharged tree growth.

🚜 In land that had been worn down by deforestation, pasture use, and poor soil management, the ADE was found to enable faster beneficial fungal growth which enriched the tree rhizosphere.

🍄 Fungi turned out to be more important for establishment than other soil components.

👉 Good News for Restoration Science: Small-volume inoculum can be developed to help native trees establish faster without relying on fertilizers or herbicides.
