French, a Department of Defense advisor, says using the human-animal bond to promote wellbeing during stressful events is an overlooked recovery resource that may be particularly beneficial in a work environment where mental acuity is critical and burnout is common.
The AVMA has updated its disaster preparedness guides that help not only pet owners but also farmers be ready to safeguard their animals in the event of extreme weather events or human-made disasters.
And, in that area there is something every bird lover will be interested in: I’ve recently heard that the Maryland Department of Natural Resources may be implementing a new policy dictated by the realities of climate change. Also, these human-occupied area are probably full of toxins and other impediments to normal use by wildlife.
Nearly wiped out by human heedlessness, development, and pesticide use, under the protection of the Endangered Species Act this handsome fish eagle has made a stunning comeback, rebounding in numbers and recolonizing areas where many thought they were gone forever.

The destruction of the Amazon forest is due to the economic pressure that all of us exert as we participate in the consumption of resources needed to support life. A photo my wife took at Gareno Lodge , I call it mutual admiration: A baby Spectacled Owl and some homo sapiens that contributes to the destruction of the forest!
The Port Authority’s goal is to strike a balance in humanely controlling bird populations at and around the agency’s airports to safeguard passengers on thousands of aircrafts each day. Other steps you can take include: (1) You can contact the Port Authority directly by sending a message from their web site at: [link]. (2) 1 Commerce Plaza.
And it prohibits human infrastructure, e.g. , roads, buildings, dams, and pipelines, etc. Thus, it prohibits cars, trucks, off-road vehicles, bicycles, and motorboats, except in emergencies.
It also has one of the highest human population densities in the state. Not surprisingly, this brings Burrowing Owls into close contact with humans across the county. Loss of habitat due to development, disturbance at burrows and negative interactions with humans are some of the threats facing this charismatic species.
Baby birds are cuteness personified, possibly even more so than other baby animals, including human babies, and pose interesting questions of survival and development. Baby birds may be separated from the nest and their parents because of natural occurrences (violent weather, floods) or unknowing human interference or predators.
The authors are Bianca Lopez ( The New School ), Emily Minor ( University of Illinois at Chicago ), and Andrew Crooks ( George Mason University ), and the article is “ Insights into human-wildlife interactions in cities from bird sightings recorded online.”. Why are birds a good proxy for broader human-wildlife interactions?
I very much enjoyed the first section, which relates the history of the bird and its relationship with us, humans, from its discovery in 1851 up to the fateful Lake Mack fire and its aftermath in the 1980’s. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, and the U.S. Forest Service.
A paper by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources of the Philippines argues that trapping the parrot is essentially a way of wasting money. Like many humans, it is presumed to be monogamous (source: HBW). and Blue-Naped Parrots (Tanygnathus lucionensis)” Instead of reading that paper, maybe watch the video ?
Automating sales and marketing activities lets you focus your humanresources elsewhere. When your sales agents don’t have to spend hours creating proposals or prospecting, they can do more in less time. The post 5 Ways Sales Automation Will Help Your B2B Company Thrive appeared first on Sales & Marketing Management.
The emails from birders with access challenges sharing how something we did or a resource we created for them to use, and how that has made a positive impact on their birding (and so, their lives) are the ones that really get me in my loveheart. I want to be more welcoming and inclusive, but I didn’t know how. Thank you for showing me.”
They call it a shell pit because of the vast array of fossilized mollusks who once lived and died there, then became a resource to be mined as gravel and fill. When ground sloths and Titanis disappear, adapt; when humans and their strange accessories appear, adapt. When glaciers rise and fall, adapt.
Nevertheless, the fact of the matter is that federal listing has been an unprecedented success in saving threatened species in a way that localized efforts and appeals to voluntary human restraint simply have not. Private efforts are inevitably, almost by definition, atomized.
We watched the bird for awhile as it foraged and though the injury was painful to contemplate for we humans the bird seemed to be getting by alright. This bird will not use resources on the wintering grounds nor take up a breeding territory on the tundra. That is how it is and how it should be.
Humans, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves. I have to say that the pattern suits the buntings much better than humans, though, and hopefully, it is also more pleasant for them to wear. This species is listed as vulnerable – similar to the Yellow-breasted Buntings, it is trapped on a large scale.
But while humans mainly try to stay slim and fit for health reasons, Eurasian Siskins care more about the danger of being eaten. Bird pairs were observed over time – it seems that (unlike in humans, particularly US Americans, these days) most pairs lasted until the death or disappearance of one of the two birds.
Everyone talks about human rights and there exists so many groups that are either governmental or non-governmental who work toward that cause. The simple fact that the increasing human population obliges us to destroy and alter natural ecosystems where the birds find home. And these are just the direct assaults against birds!
Companies have heads of operations, marketing, accounting, sales and humanresources, but rarely do they have someone in charge of their second most important asset (after employees). Those organizations that focus on human interaction and relationship building will be the ones that dominate in their industries. .
These are world-wide problems that will only get worse as our human numbers grow way beyond the resources available. Unfortunately this place has been under lots of pressure from farmers who demand the fresh water for farming.
Even human-discarded foodstuff has been utilized by these resourceful birds! A Striated Heron flew across the pond to try its luck from another bank. These cunning herons have been observed using small leaves and sticks as bait to lure fish closer. We drove out of the park in a torrential downpour.
Many may not make it to their breeding grounds due to the extreme stress of the situation, lack of resources, the weather itself, disorientation, and human-caused killers like windows and cars. So, maintaining habitat along the coastline is vital to supporting these species.
Invasive Species : The term could also refer to non-native species that have been introduced to an area and have a negative impact on local ecosystems, outcompeting native birds for resources. I know what a Herring Gull would do with this information: Can we say something Human Intelligent (HI) perhaps? Perspective changes everything.
Is the nature of nature a raw struggle for resources, or an elegant interlocking community in which every member plays a role? Are humans a part of nature or a force (sometimes benevolent, more often destructive) that acts upon it? Is nature a place for solemn education and reflection? For adventure and danger?
This will be an all-out effort, drawing in any other conservationists and field-workers active in the area, to widen the search using all available resources. The most pressing need is for intensive surveys in the bird’s native habitat, to maximise chances of locating any remaining populations in the wild.
I remember taking an advanced seminar in plant-animal interaction, in preparation for my own study of human-plant interactions. Some of our greatest human pleasures come from those toxins, and I’m not just talking about various narcotics, though there is always that. Insects ruled. One way to do that is to be toxic.
Tourism money is vital to the survival of the world’s Mountain Gorillas, but at the same time that tourism has to be carefully managed to not harm them either, either by disturbance or through human carried diseases. Moreover, philosophically, I have a massive problem with the idea that we shouldn’t extract resources from nature.
The six chapters that follow explore bird communication in mating; defending territory; rearing children; responding to predators; interacting with neighbors and functioning in large groups; and communicating successfully in a noisy human world. I wish there was more discussion of research techniques and resources.
Man has to be thrifty with limited resources, which in my case are decent bird photos. Anyway, apparently, barbets are named for the bristles at the bases of their bills (the French word “barbe” means “beard” – I guess that “barbed wire” has the same origin).
Way back when I started what turned out to be my thesis research (on humans), it became important for me to learn about bird migration. I was involved in the study of human movement and navigation on land, and there was a lot of research coming out about bird navigation. Itcher birds, migratory members of the tern family. Image source.
I think every naturalist in the United States knows the outlines of this urban tale: The pristine marshes of New Jersey are poisoned by pollution, toxic waste, pig farms, and probably every single way in which human beings can destroy the environment. This really happened, we created a landscape of toxic horror. Did I miss this?
Not only is there reason to believe that livestock contribute to greenhouse gases, but meat is resource-intensive to produce. I have very little regard for the human conscience when it comes to empathy outside themselves. I have very little regard for the human conscience when it comes to empathy outside themselves.
All of the forest in these areas has been cleared many years ago to give way to food production and housing for small towns that continually expand as the local families grow and require more resources for food, housing and employment. There are only a few sparse trees have been left behind to give shadow and housing for some birds.
there to spend some resources to deal with the problem in a humane way. She is currently having an auction to benefit Island Dog Inc. I'm glad that this will get more publicity for the issue. This will not only get people involved, but may also force the govt. Here is Island Dog's site.
Back of the book material includes References and resources a 12-page listing of Wild Bird stores; a Feeder Birds checklist; information on Project FeederWatch, including their list of the top 25 birds reported at feeders in each state; and a fairly good index to topics. Places for the birds to perch near the feeders?
I know he's a conservationist, therefore I know he will advocate for "managing" the "resources" that are sentient nonhumans. In the majority of cases, it is humans who are to blame for the plunging numbers of animals, and Corwin is very clear about the extent to which we have destroyed the world around us.
That's what Michigan's State Department of Natural Resources says. Killing would be permitted only if a wolf posed a direct threat to humans. Michigan's removal of the bald eagle and gray wolf from the list will be the most significant change in species protection the state has seen in years.
Apparently, some bird photographers think that any human artifacts shown on a bird photo immediately spoil the whole photo. Some Thai researchers looked at the breeding ecology of the Buff-breasted Babbler and published their findings in the somewhat unsuitable-sounding journal “Agriculture and Natural Resources”.
Not only has he founded his own dog rescue in honor of his beloved poodle Buddy, but he contributed to and helped raise more than $1,000,000 for The Humane Society of the United States Animal Rescue Team on during The Humane Society’s To the Rescue! Gala, held at Cipriani in New York City.
The New York Times presents us, this morning, with "Equine Alternative" regarding the recent discovery that horses decided to allow themselves be domesticated by humans for our mutual benefit, earlier than we had thought (3500 BC, and we preciously thought it was more like 2500 BC). Forgot to hit "publish now" on this. Let's leave them alone.
A federal judge for the first time in US history has heard arguments in a case that could determine whether animals enjoy the same constitutional protection against slavery as human beings. Sea World's lawyer, Theodore Shaw, called the lawsuit a waste of the court's time and resources. when the constitution was adopted.
