Polesian wolves have extremely long tails so their caretakers can easily pull them out of bogs.

"Continued use and access to the peat swamp forest is therefore essential for people's well-being. Formalizing the customary tenure of communities that use the peatlands could contribute to their long-term protection."

Also in #GorhamME -- it looks like the local government is pushing ahead with the #AmazonWarehouse , despite citizen opposition (and why our town is considering a moratorium on big warehouses along with datacenters)! And, if this is built, you can bet that the #GorhamConnector will be built -- cutting through forests and farms ( #SmilingHillFarm ), and inducing more sprawl!!!
Amazon representatives detail warehouse plans at Gorham board meeting
by Jane Park
Updated Mon, August 3, 2026"The Gorham Planning Board discussed potential changes to an Amazon warehouse proposal, including reducing parking spaces to protect #wetlands.
"The Gorham Planning Board met Monday night to continue discussing possibly building an Amazon warehouse.
"The facility would be on a 94-acre of land off Main Street.
"Representatives for #BluewaterPropertyGroup, who are developing the Amazon facility, appeared at the meeting and said they are proposing changes to the scale of the operation amid criticism from residents.
"The changes include reducing the number of parking spaces at the site to help preserve wetlands. However, representatives said this would result in fewer deliveries because Amazon trucks would have less parking available.
" 'We also showed some alternative site plans that relocated van parking to the other areas of the site, but studying this led to further disturbance of wetlands, leaving the board, the DEP, and the community to choose between residents or resources,' Alexandra Escamilla, Bluewater Property representative, said.
"Board members also raised traffic and noise concerns at the meeting. They shared concerns of traffic during school and work hours, as well as whether the noise of the facility would be disruptive to nearby residents.
"Amazon representatives responded by saying the deliveries would not begin until after 10 a.m., and they are using technology and fences to try to mitigate the noise.
"The board will have another meeting about the warehouse on Sept. 14."

📰 Coastal Marsh Restoration Fights Sea‑Level Rise
🌎 New Jersey, USA: Scientists are restoring coastal marsh habitat at Scotch Bonnet Island to help wetlands keep pace with rising seas.
🌾 The project is designed to protect marsh ecosystems that support wildlife and provide important ecological services. 32 bird species have been seen using the area for resting and fishing, including a rare American Golden-Plover.
🤝 Wetland restoration is one of the most effective nature‑based approaches for increasing coastal resilience while safeguarding biodiversity.
“I think we can get a lot of wetlands back. They’re not always on this one-way street to destruction.”

India Safari Holiday Tours: A Complete Guide to India’s Wild Side
India's wildlife is not the wide-open savannah of Africa, and that is exactly what makes it so fascinating. Here, a safari can take you through sal forests, dry grasslands, bamboo thickets and wetlands where a tiger may appear without warning. For travellers planning an India safari holiday, the experience is about far more than spotting a Bengal tiger. It can include leopards, sloth bears, wild dogs, crocodiles, hundreds of bird species and the landscapes and communities that surround […]https://indiasafaristrends.wordpress.com/2026/08/22/india-safari-holiday-tours/

A few photos of the pair of Wilson's Phalaropes that have been hanging out in the dune ponds at Jones Beach. This endangered species nests in the interior of the U.S., and stages for migration at salt lakes, like the rapidly vanishing Great Salt Lake in Utah. They are not usual visitors to our area. This shorebird is unusual for two reasons. First it actively forages in deeper waters, whirling at the surface to trap small fishes. Second, it shows reverse sexual dimorphism, with the female as the showier, larger bird, and a polyandrous mating system, in which females take multiple mates and the male rears the young. This pair is out of breeding coloration.
