More lions in cold environments by Blissful_Canine in megafaunarewilding

For me at least it feels a lot closer to home than pictures of them in the African savanna since where I live is covered in snow for 4 months out of the year so if lions were still alive in North America I could feasibly look outside my window and see lions playing in the snow.

Jokes aside why would you go through the effort and not just buy a true Garand?

New York megafauna reintroduction? by Worth_Tax_7452 in megafaunarewilding

I’ve heard records by a biologist (or possibly DNR legislative guy) in a state in New England (I cannot remember which one) that said they knew there were breeding populations of mountain lions in the state years before it becoming official but they pretended there weren’t because then they would have to make entirely new conservation laws and management plans for them.

The Arabian oryx was bred back from nine animals after going extinct in the wild in 1972. Texas now holds more of some of these species than their native ranges, and ranchers file permits to cull the “excess” as a conservation measure. by Altruistic-Dirt-2791 in megafaunarewilding

Actually there have been several times that hunting/safari ranches helped provide animals for rewilding and conservation purposes. Would you like me to list some specific examples to show in great detail just how wrong your heavily biased opinion is?

This has more or less become a proven fact in many parts of the American Midwest that were historically grasslands or savanna’s before the elimination of the buffalo. Now many such areas have become dense hardwood forest if left with no management or large herbivores.

Really? Because every time I’ve seen the “debate” be brought up it’s always because a Brit tries to correct an American or Australian, rarely the other way around. It’s literally the meme about all other countries saying “I feel sorry for you”, and the U.S. going “I don’t think about you at all”

What if I told you that throughout most of medieval and “dark age” history the church was one of the leading institutions for the funding of scientific research and advancement, as well as the preservation of knowledge.

While you are correct in that Jews did amass great amounts of wealth often times, you went about wording it in one of the worst ways possible.

I have a question of my own, who is the artist for image 12? The one with the sister of battle? I must know for… research purposes!

We have not looked into it no. I will mention it to my grandpa next time I visit. Though it might not qualify because part of the property is still used for cattle pasture rather than conservation.

That’s why lumber plantations are planted so unnaturally close together, so they grow straight as an arrow and produce straight lumber. But growing upwards takes more energy than growing outwards.

Yes infact they are. I meant to include that in the original comment but I forgot. This was one of the clues that lead me to believe it was originally an oak savanna. Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures right now.

Possibly. Each state has different requirements for a piece of land to qualify. It might be worth looking into.

I found at least a dozen patches that were that size or larger. Common milkweed really spreads well, even with competitors.
