Oh dear!

I see the whole "#SpottedOwl" Right-Wing hysteria from the 1990's coming back over this.

(Most) #Republicans are devoid of #empathy (while extolling #Jesus... a brown-skinned Middle Eastern man who tells them to "welcome the stranger" & "care for the poor"), mocking inconveniencing people for the benefit of "some stupid birds".

Poppy #Bush even made the "controversy" part of his campaign. 😒

The #Trump admin's announcement answers calls for revisions to the #EndangeredSpecies Act from #Republicans in #Congress & industries including #oil & #gas, #mining & #agriculture. Critics argue the landmark 1973 #EnvironmentalLaw has been wielded too broadly….

But environmentalists warned the changes could cause yearslong delays in efforts to save species such as the #monarch butterfly, Florida #manatee, California #SpottedOwl & North American #wolverine.

Got this done on my livestream this week: a Northern Spotted Owl.

This bird has been requested *numerous* times by visitors to my booth at Friday Night Markets here in Eureka, CA. It is native to the area, dangerously threatened by other owls, and a favorite of many many folks who live here.

I had So. Much. Fun! streaming this week. It really was my happy place, and I had some awesome folks stop by and help me out. They offered me great advice, response, ideas… It was a lot of fun!

I highly encourage you to check out the livestream recordings, which I upload to MakerTube as a matter of course after each stream. I’ve started the habit of translating the recording and uploading closed captioning in German, Spanish, French, Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Hindi.

I suspect Twitch may start to accept recruitment advertising for ICE, which will prompt me to not stream there. But my home on MakerTube is where I land all my recordings, and I’ll start trying to livestream there again. Just an FYI.

So, the Environment Minister broke the law. The thing is, is there any consequences, or even stated punishment, for breaking this particular law?

Yet again the Government of Canada is found to have broken its own Species at Risk Act. “The machinery of government cannot undermine the clear statutory obligations made to the minister," Roy wrote.

Just one long record of irresponsibility.

Far from being the saviour of at-risk species, Canada's Species at Risk Act is being used as a legal blueprint for obliterating those highly vulnerable species in the service of industry. SARA could be effective at protecting & recovering at-risk species, but only if the Government of Canada chooses to use it according to its stated purpose and clearly written provisions

An internal government document reveals how B.C., citing ‘significant impacts’ on forest sector jobs and provincial revenue, aims to prevent Ottawa from stepping in to save a species on the cusp of #Canadian #extinction

“The minister is #LegallyObligated to make an #EmergencyOrder recommendation to cabinet to #protect this #iconic species - any further delay is unacceptable,” said Rachel Gutman, lawyer w/ #Ecojustice - representing #AdvocacyGroup #WildernessCommittee . “With the #logging season upon us and only one #owl remaining in the wild, the failure to immediately protect the species’ remaining habitat risks the #extirpation of the #SpottedOwl from #Canada ”

"The B.C. government has scuttled a federal plan to designate large swaths of core critical habitat for the endangered spotted owl, easing the way for imminent old-growth logging..

Almost 50% of core critical habitat- habitat that biologists, using the best available science, deemed necessary for the owl’s survival and recovery — was quietly removed from federal maps between 2021 and 2023"

Whether you work with Oregon birds or are just interested in them and their conservation, I can't recommend this book enough. Full disclosure: I'm biased, having worked closely with a number of the section authors, but even so, especially as a transplant to Oregon, the book taught me a lot about the history and current status of ornithology and bird conservation issues in our state. And the art is fabulous.
