    “The modern Colorado moose is often considered just that: modern - brought to the state by wildlife officials in the late 1970s, preceded by very occasional reports of moose sightings in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
    Since being translocated to Colorado, these charismatic megafauna have been a source of both fascination and concern. In Rocky Mountain National Park [RMNP], where moose populations have thrived, ecosystems have been changing, and moose-associated impacts have sparked renewed conversations about managing an animal labeled “non-native.”
    However, newly published research [link above] by an interdisciplinary team of scientists, archivists and Tribal cultural heritage leaders shows that the “non-native” label is inaccurate. They present evidence demonstrating that moose have been in Colorado for at least centuries and likely longer.
    The researchers analyzed newspaper archives, archaeological site reports, scientific journals, museum collections and photo archives to understand where and when moose were present in Colorado prior to the mid-1900s. Perhaps most importantly, notes lead author William Taylor, a University of Colorado Boulder associate professor of anthropology and CU Museum curator of archaeology, the scholars sought Indigenous histories, and in doing so found evidence of moose being well known and deeply integrated into traditional knowledge of Native people in the southern Rockies.
    Crystal C’Bearing, a study co-author and Northern Arapaho Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, notes that among the Northern Arapaho, "the moose is considered a valued commodity among the Tribe.” She adds that societies within the Northern Arapaho "utilize many animals, including moose, in their clothing, society items and regalia. This tradition continues today."
    The scholarly approach of joining Indigenous knowledge with historical accounts, archaeology and paleontology, "shows the power of multiple independent lines of evidence converging on the conclusion that moose were part of southern Rocky Mountain ecosystems long before modern reintroductions," says study co-author Jonathan Dombrosky of Crow Canyon Archaeological Center and the University of Alabama. "More broadly, the study demonstrates how historical sciences can help us better understand the origins of modern ecosystems and make more informed decisions about their future…"

  3. @[email protected] #SFGiants #MLB . . .

    This is only the 2nd Giants game this season that I have been actually able to watch this season because I refuse to pay for NBC Bay Area Sports.

    So, I've mainly been following the team by reading the box scores but the result tonight was largely the same as it has been in the past.

    The main reason they lost this game is because of the 3 runs given up by the bullpen in the top of the 9th to give the #Rockies the lead 4-2.

    I heard K&K say at the end that this was the 12x this season that the bullpen has blown a lead resulting in a loss.

    If that's so, the Giants' record now would be at 51-43 instead of 39-55 and they'd be in 2nd instead of 4th place (albeit still 10 games behind LA) in the #NLWest.

    There is still a problem with a lack of hitting in key situations -- at least 3 that I could mention -- but none of those missed ops would have mattered if the bullpen could have just gotten 3 outs w/o giving up a run in the top of the 9th.

    Oh well . . . 🤷‍♂️

    “How do we get from dry, degraded, and dewatered to lush, wet meadows that feed our precious rivers and support fish and wildlife? We have to get creative.
    [Their] restoration work with partners in Ackerson Meadow and Faith Valley Meadow show two very distinct approaches to achieving amazing results.

  6. Hype for the Future 135M: Idaho Panhandle National Forests in Idaho and Montana

  9. I return from my walk through the old growth cedar forest of Yakushima. I review the day’s MLB box scores. I see that the Rockies gave up 7 runs to the Dodgers in the top of the 9th to squander a 9-4 lead and lose 11-9. I drink lots of local Shochu.
