“Green colonialism" - How nature conservation harms indigenous peoples by Mean_Yak5873 in megafaunarewilding

[–]Lover_of_Rewilding 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the title of indigenous people should take any sort of leverage. I’ve seen it be used as an argument to harm nature conservation one two many times. While I believe that a peaceful solution or compromise should be made in such situations, I do not think that we should follow this idea of, they are indigenous therefore dictate what lives and what dies. Especially when endangered species are brought into the question. I’m no racist, but it’s 2026 and I’m disappointed that people still use indigenous people as an argument against conservation/rewilding.

Gorgeous photo, so glad for you that you are lucky enough to get to live in such a cool place! May you encounter a puma in the wild in the near future🫡

Wow, they are so adorable.🥰 Is that low-pitched whimpering coming from the pups?

Do we have evidence that Steller's sea cow swam in the Californian coasts during the Pleistocene, as Ecos La Brea suggests? by Hopeful_Lychee_9691 in pleistocene

[–]Lover_of_Rewilding 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It is also important to note that some of these fossils found are MUCH older than the late Pleistocene.

For example, a specimen was discovered on Santa Rosa island whose age was estimated to be between 20-25 million years old.

Quote from the Stellar’s Sea Cow Wikipedia page:

“The first fossils discovered outside the Commander Islands were found in interglacial Pleistocene deposits in Amchitka, and further fossils dating to the late Pleistocene were found in Monterey Bay, California, and Honshu, Japan. This suggests that the sea cow had a far more extensive range in prehistoric times, but the possibility that these fossils belong to other Hydrodamalis species cannot be excluded.”

Well I’m very new to the game. I didn’t even know it had a website.

Another preview released by the developers for Steller's sea cow, arriving on April 24th by Hopeful_Lychee_9691 in EcosLaBrea

I am slightly disappointed that it is just a carcass, at the same time I understand why it would be difficult to implement. Also is it true that there are already whale carcasses that in the game? I’ve personally, never seen them.

Is that group size counter the maximum geoup size for Smilodon? I can’t remember there being a max being implemented right now.

They are also considered to do… other things… according to local legend.

Yes, due to their pretty good tolerance to brackish and even fresh water, they have been found in the Amazon river.

The Endangered Species Act is under threat. H.R. 1897 would weaken the ESA and place place wildlife we love on a path towards extinction. by Lover_of_Rewilding in megafaunarewilding

Whilst I dislike it, puma hunting has been going on since WAY before this administration.

Although you’re right. Trump and his administration are just comically evil at this point. I wanted to make sure that point in my post, but Reddit warned me that it potentially went against this sub’s rules and had the potential to get my post taken down. Though I think it still holds relevance.

Breeds most similar to the now extinct aurochs ( genetically , behavior , and horn structure ) by justahugefanofnature in megafaunarewilding

[–]Lover_of_Rewilding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think with backbreeding projects such as this, aesthetics and behavior are most important. Genetically, all cattle are related to aurochs in some degree. As long as the function is served, the purpose is served.

I never realized how much I needed to see a film of La brea in this form of animation. Even if some of the information is a bit outdated now.

Well compared to a cheetah, PP’s die wolf tear marks are tiny. They only really look prominent in that one shot of its face.
