The article emphasizes that current wildlife management exacerbates a lot of interconnected problems and calls for halting practices that deplete herbivores. It advocates for rewilding wild horses to naturally reduce wildfire fuels, support predator-prey dynamics, and curb diseases like CWD, ultimately saving lives and money. While the article's tone is advocacy-oriented and some claims (e.g., specific economic costs or agency motivations) appear speculative or overstated, the underlying ecological mechanisms align with established research on trophic cascades, grazing impacts, and predator-prey dynamics and the conclusions seem scientifically probable. #nature #WildlifeConservation

The Olive Ridley Sea Turtle nests on the shores of Costa Rica in groups of thousands. Tamil Nadu's Forest Department (India) is launching a landmark two-year telemetry project from 2025 to 2027, tracking Olive Ridley turtles along the state's vast coastline for the very first time with advanced satellite transmitters and mass flipper tagging. In partnership with WII and AIWC, the initiative will tag 10,000 turtles and deploy 10 satellite units to unlock fine-scale movement and nesting secrets—empowering smarter fisheries regulation, protecting key habitats, and transforming turtle conservation through science, tech, and local stewardship. #wildlife #nature #WildlifeConservation

Centuries after it ravaged Europe in the Middle Ages, plague still circulates on nearly every continent—including the western United States.
