Lazarus species loss12/31/2023 ![]() There are currently 37,400 species threatened with extinction of which 3,483 are classified as critically endangered.Īll of these animals have a 50% chance of becoming extinct by 2050. The list of animals that will be extinct by 2050 comprises land animals, sea animals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, fishes, crustaceans, and more. So, saving these species isn’t impossible. These animals are under extreme threat, but nothing is impossible and many people are working to preserving them. The Vaquita, an aquatic cetacean, is he rarest animal in the world, with only 10 of these animals left.īut, that doesn’t mean you can’t impact this dynamic. Like the rarest trees in the world, some of these species are threatened by caused that non one could have predicted hundreds of years ago. In fact, some of the rarest animals in the world didn’t get that way naturally. In Yellowstone, however, it will be the cumulative effects of a thousand seemingly little assaults upon the ecosystem that will render the real damage to the park and its surrounding wildlands in the future.In contrast to the single mass extinction event that decimated the Earth’s dinosaur population, the world is rapidly moving towards several animal extinction events with a devastating number of animals that will be extinct by 2050, according to many scientists. “There seems to be an ideological belief,” Finley says, “that little impacts on the environment don’t adversely affect the park. Michael Finley, president of the nonprofit Turner Foundation, is the only Park Service veteran to have served as superintendent of three major national parks: Everglades, Yosemite, and Yellowstone. ![]() Although natural processes still play out in grand fashion in Yellowstone, human population pressures and climate could cause things to unravel. And, as Clark says, it’s the best example of ecosystem protection that supports big, wide-ranging animals that don’t recognize artificial boundaries created by humans.īut Clark, like many, is concerned. Greater Yellowstone, Craighead explains, isn’t a monolith rather it’s an amalgamation of rich habitats stretching from mountaintops to valley floors. ![]() Craighead is the son and nephew of famous bear researchers and conservationists Frank and John Craighead, active in Yellowstone in the 20th century. “To ensure that wildlife have sufficient habitat for population persistence into the future, and to confer resilience in the face of climate change and land use change, there must be an adequate amount of protected habitat available among the spectrum of lands that are accessible to those wildlife,” writes Lance Craighead, a biologist who operates a research station in Bozeman, Montana. In other words: habitat, habitat, habitat. “What’s important,” Clark says, “is not just having a checklist of species and calling it good, but preserving these animals’ natural histories, protecting migration patterns, and turning grass into meat-which is then recycled across the landscape in the food chain.” Which is to say, these populations exist at pretty much bare minimums. We have 800 grizzlies today in Yellowstone and close to 2,000 in the entire northern Rockies-yet there were 50,000 in the lower 48 historically, and today grizzlies are gone from 95 percent of their former range.” But there were once 35 million in the West. “When we talk about 5,000 wild Yellowstone bison, yes, it’s a lot compared to the two dozen still left standing after near annihilation. The two-way traffic captured by a camera trap along a busy game trail above the Buffalo Fork River near Grand Teton includes a cougar, a black bear, and a mule deer.

Best audio book ms ever12/31/2023 ![]() Artists are the people we turn to to elevate pivotal moments in our lives, to turn the ordinary into something transcendent: weddings, funerals, memorials, celebrations of all kinds. Artists, art institutions, and the training of young artists are embarassingly undervalued and underfunded in our society. In this “Great Pause” it is the work of artists that so many people turn to whether it’s on our screens, in our hands, or in our ears. I’m also keenly aware of the time, work, talent, and SKILL that it takes to create something that feels so alive and personal, yet also seems effortless. As an actor, I’m particularly interested in the quality of the narration. No one can take his place.Īnne, thank you for this post. After his death, I had to switch to reading Louise Penney in print. Jane Entwhistle – The Flavia Series – I would enjoy the series if I read them in print, but Jane makes them SPARKLING, and DELIGHTFUL!Īnd special mention of Ralph Cosham who will always be the voice of Inspector Gamache for me. ![]() Nicholas Guy Smith – A Gentleman in Moscow I can’t wait to talk with her in Book Club on September 29th (and ask her to do a live reading, of course!). Elizabeth Acevedoĭominican-American poet, novelist, and performer Elizabeth Acevedo narrates her own work, plus one of my favorite Austen adaptations, Pride by Ibi Zoboi, with passion and skill. Some links (including all Amazon links) are affiliate links. 30 amazing audiobook experiences narrated by talented voice performers If you’re looking for a place to start with audiobooks, or if you’re an avid listener in search of your next read, try one of these narrators for an immersive and textured listening experience. ![]() Today I’m sharing ten of my favorite audiobook narrators, plus three audiobooks I recommend from each of their audio-backlists. I know that I’ll enjoy listening to their voices-and that their performances will enliven the characters, ideas, and settings of any book. Over the last few years, I’ve come across several exceptional voice performers whose narration will encourage me to pick up a book even if it’s outside my usual taste. Many narrators also have websites listing their notable works or, sometimes, their entire audiobook catalog. Services like Libro.fm, Audible, and other audiobook services allow you to search by narrator, and I make good use of this feature. If a narrator has a long backlist of titles (books that are already published, or in this case, recorded), there are hours and hours of listening ahead of you. Often, narrators work in specific genres or pair with certain authors, so if you absolutely loved the narrator of your recent audiobook, they’ve likely read another book suited to your taste as well. I feel the same joy discovering an excellent narrator as I do when finding a new favorite author.Īfter I’ve read a fabulous audiobook, I’m likely to want to read more works by the author-and to listen to more works performed by the narrator. Great audio performances elevate and enhance a book and pull you in, going beyond on-paper reading for an immersive event. A talented audiobook narrator makes for a memorable listening experience.

Orange tabby cat white background12/31/2023 When you breed a female, the mother and father must have the recessive gene. Females have two XX chromosomes, while males have an XY chromosome.

That might be applicable here, as I think sometimes chart-reading does transition into a more intuitive exercise, tapping into impressions not exactly spelled out by the charts. When my progressed sun was conjunct that stellium, I had some of the strangest experiences of my life. I have Anubis tightly conjunct Jupiter, sextile Telephus-Mars-Giza.Īnd I just learned I've got Reiki conjunct Spirit and Merlin. Furthermore, draconic Hypnos is conjunct my tropical sun (opposing draconic Cancer Hermes). My tropical Virgo Hypnos is conjunct my draconic MC if my chart is correct, opposing Pisces Hermes on the draconic IC. If someone were to ask me about any spiritual abilities I might have, my automatic answer would be that I have psychic dreams sometimes, or revelatory dreams that tell me things about people that prove true or highly instructional. I've no idea about the mechanisms involved there it could have also been any number of factors unlocking the gift. The most psychic person I've ever known has sun conjunct Neptune this person didn't grasp the extent of it until the realization hit them while on drugs.
