        <div class="body-description"><p>By Meredith Brown</p><p>Thousands of people affected by the past two months' hurricanes <a href="http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/08/28/546714612/-the-goal-is-rescue-harvey-s-historic-deluge-met-with-equally-massive-response" target="_blank">owe their lives to the brave</a> <a href="http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/08/28/546714612/-the-goal-is-rescue-harvey-s-historic-deluge-met-with-equally-massive-response" target="_blank">emergency responders</a> at state and city police departments, 911 call centers, fire stations, the National Guard, and the Red Cross. But what about the wild animals whose habitats have also been destroyed? That's where wildlife rehabilitators, or "rehabbers," come in—specially trained and licensed individuals (often working as volunteers) who typically work in collaboration with local wildlife centers to retrieve and rehabilitate mammals, birds, reptiles and other species in distress.</p><hr><p>Wildlife centers are often sparsely staffed and underfunded. In the aftermath of a natural disaster, they depend on networks of wildlife rehabbers to help respond to the barrage of calls, emails, and texts that come in about animals in danger. This was certainly the case when <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/hurricane-harvey">Hurricane Harvey</a> pummeled Houston, Texas in August. <a href="https://www.twrcwildlifecenter.org/" target="_blank">TWRC Wildlife Center</a> Executive Director Roslyn Even had to evacuate all staff and animals from their facility (the Center is located in a flood zone behind a reservoir); in the days that followed, TWRC  relied on individual rehabbers to connect with callers seeking assistance. "Those [rehabbers] who could leave their homes would make arrangements to meet people in the neighborhoods who had animals," Even explained.</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="VPKBBK1519049028" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" id="e4833" src="https://assets.rbl.ms/11587553/980x.jpg"/><small class="image-media media-caption" placeholder="add caption..."> A TWRC staffer feeds a baby squirrel rescued during Hurricane Harvey. </small><small class="image-media media-photo-credit" placeholder="add photo credit...">The TWRC Wildlife Center</small></p><p>In addition to several baby squirrels and hummingbirds, TWRC rescued one of the most famous faces of Hurricane Harvey: <a href="http://www.audubon.org/news/the-story-harvey-coopers-hawk-rescued-houston-during-hurricane" target="_blank">Harvey the Hurricane Hawk</a>. After TWRC staff member Liz Compton saw a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6MjdV_8E6Q" target="_blank">YouTube video</a> of a Cooper's Hawk riding inside a cab (apparently unable to fly away), Compton contacted the driver and found her way through the flooded streets to retrieve the hawk for rehabilitation. The story went viral, with people from all over the world expressing concern over the hawk. Once rescued, it was quickly identified as a female, but the name stuck. After significant recovery, she was transferred to the <a href="http://www.bpraptorcenter.org/" target="_blank">Blackland Prairie Raptor Center</a> for further rehabilitation, and <a href="https://www.twrcwildlifecenter.org/" target="_blank">was recently released</a> back into the wild. Roslyn Even cites the hawk's high profile as a silver lining in the hurricane's wake. "I think we'll be able to take better care of the animals that are here surviving, because there is more awareness."<br/></p><p><span></span>In other cases, residents were left with no other choice than to take in struggling animals until the roads were safe enough to get them to a wildlife center. "They themselves were waiting to be rescued," Even said of the people calling in. TWRC staffers offered helpful information on how to keep the animals warm and safe. "That was one of the only times we've ever given advice on how to feed the animal," said Even. She explains that normally, rehabilitators advise citizens not to feed or give the animal anything to drink for fear of causing more harm. "It was going to be days before we could get to the animal," she said. "There wasn't easy access; it was like a maze to get from one side of town to the other. People had to go hours out of their way." </p><p><span></span>Rehabbers flocked in from other cities to join the relief effort. When a video depicting <a href="https://twitter.com/cbs11jasonallen/status/901925769840136192" target="_blank">Alicia Plunkett's efforts</a> to save Houston's famous Waugh Bridge bat colony went viral, Erica Quinzel of <a href="https://batworld.org/" target="_blank">Bat World Sanctuary</a> in Weatherford, Texas—almost 300 miles north of Houston—jumped in the car and headed south. Despite suffering several flat tires from driving through flooded, debris-filled streets, Quinzel managed to take all of the hundreds of bats Plunkett had rescued and provide them with fluids, meals, and warmth until they could be released. Before the flooding became too dangerous, Quinzel also aided Plunkett in rescuing as many additional Waugh Bridge bats as possible. The majority were rehabilitated and released by Quinzel within days, and 70 bats were transported back to Bat World Sanctuary for specialized rehabilitation for broken wings and other injuries.</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="RTM0Z01519049028" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" id="3d8c4" src="https://assets.rbl.ms/11587505/980x.jpg"/><small class="image-media media-caption" placeholder="add caption...">Bats rescued from Hurricane Harvey.</small><small class="image-media media-photo-credit" placeholder="add photo credit...">Bat World</small></p><p>San Antonio-based wildlife rehabilitator Michelle Camara—director of Bat World Alamo and owner of <a href="http://www.swildliferehab.com/" target="_blank">Southern Wildlife Rehab</a>—took another approach: organizing a fundraiser to support Harvey-affected rehabbers throughout the state. After the online campaign garnered national attention, <a href="https://ahnow.org/" target="_blank">Animal Help Now</a> and <a href="https://theiwrc.org/" target="_blank">IWRC</a> (International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council) joined with Camara to <a href="https://www.loveanimals.org/campaigns/hurricane-wildlife-rescue/59a76633774978fe2dbe9a16" target="_blank">expand </a><a href="https://www.loveanimals.org/campaigns/hurricane-wildlife-rescue/59a76633774978fe2dbe9a16" target="_blank">the </a><a href="https://www.loveanimals.org/campaigns/hurricane-wildlife-rescue/59a76633774978fe2dbe9a16" target="_blank">fundraiser</a> to include wildlife rehabilitators responding to Hurricane Irma and other climate events. The more than $12,000 donated so far has now been distributed to rehabbers and wildlife centers working with limited and flooding-damaged supplies.<br/></p><p>Not long after Harvey made landfall in Texas, Hurricane Irma hit Florida, and the state's wildlife rehabbers sprang into action. Fort Lauderdale's <a href="http://www.southfloridawildlifecenter.org/" target="_blank">Southern Florida Wildlife Center</a> relocated several hundred animals before closing its doors out of safety concerns as Irma made landfall. The Center's staff and volunteer wildlife rehabilitators were left to take in and foster newly injured and orphaned animals—mostly young squirrels, juvenile birds, and baby raccoons blown out of their nests and trees during the worst of the storm.</p><p>On Florida's Gulf coast, in the midst of raging winds, power outages, and dwindling supplies, the Wildlife Center of Venice <a href="http://wildlifecenterofvenice.org/" target="_blank">took in a record 130 animals</a>—more than 10 times its usual workload. Incredibly, volunteers still showed up that day to take care of the center's newest residents: wildlife orphaned and injured by Florida's latest disaster.</p><p>Meanwhile, on South Florida's other coast, licensed wildlife rehabilitator Lloyd Brown spent the first 12 hours of "landfall day" alone at the center he founded, Wildlife Rescue of Dade County, waiting for volunteers to brave the storm and help field the constant intake of wildlife. "I could barely get one animal treated before another animal came in," recalled Brown, a firefighter who spends his off days running (and funding out-of-pocket) the center. The most common greeting Brown heard upon picking up the receiver that Monday? "Oh thank God someone finally answered the phone!" During that worst day of the hurricane, fellow rehabbers in the area had apparently been unable to take calls.</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="JYLX891519049028" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" id="d94db" src="https://assets.rbl.ms/11587483/980x.jpg"/><small class="image-media media-caption" placeholder="add caption...">A rehabber-vet feeds an injured raccoon in the wake of Hurricane Irma.</small><small class="image-media media-photo-credit" placeholder="add photo credit...">Lloyd Brown</small></p><p>A rehabber since 1993, Brown worked for years as one of the lead rescuers for the U.S. and International Chapters of the Humane Society, saving animals in dire straits across the globe. When he isn't fighting fires or rescuing animals, he teaches a natural disaster response course for other animal rehab centers. "Everybody has a plan until it actually hits. Then your plan starts to fall apart," said Brown, whose course encourages people to rehearse for disasters and ensure that things like backup generators are working properly. One important takeaway from Brown's experience with Irma? To always have liquid canned formula on hand, in case of power loss, which can cause powdered formula to spoil.</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><img class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="X4KLUB1519049028" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" id="76954" src="https://assets.rbl.ms/11587482/980x.jpg"/><small class="image-media media-caption" placeholder="add caption...">A rehabilitated baby raccoon.</small><small class="image-media media-photo-credit" placeholder="add photo credit..."> Austin Wildlife Rescue</small></p><p>A thousand miles southeast of Florida, the island of Puerto Rico lies exposed in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. Slammed with back-to-back hurricanes this season, Caribbean wildlife had little time to find shelter before the next big storm. In anticipation of the arrival of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, Puerto Rico's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) staff took preemptive measures to protect wildlife in the El Yunque Aviary, located in Northwest Puerto Rico's mountainous El Yunque National Forest. Two FWS employees spent a day gathering the endangered Puerto Rican parrots in their care and "<a href="https://www.fws.gov/southeast/news/2017/09/irma-hits-puerto-rico-service-facilities/" target="_blank">hunkered down</a>" with the birds high up in the mountains. These dedicated employees weathered the storm in the aviary's hurricane room, <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/2017/10/06/how-230-endangered-parrots-survived-hurricane-irma-665911.html" target="_blank">constructed</a> to withstand hurricane-force winds. FWS public affairs specialist Mark Davis confirms that all but four Puerto Rican parrots made it safely through Hurricanes Irma and Maria in the El Yunque Aviary. Like so many wild species this hurricane season, these parrots' safety can be credited directly to the heroic efforts of wildlife specialists and rehabilitators.<br/></p><p>Rehabbers help maintain humans' and animals' delicate coexistence within an uncertain, ever-changing climate. Camara emphasizes the importance and urgency of funding rehabbers, especially in times of crises, as they often pay out-of-pocket for supplies to take care of rescued animals. "Give five dollars to Red Cross and five dollars to a wildlife rehabber," she suggests, noting that these funds go directly to wildlife centers with no strings attached—allowing rehabbers to do their jobs minus the burden of applying for grants and waiting for funds to arrive.</p><p>Camara notes that rehabbers must take risks and deal with grief on a regular basis, because despite their best efforts, injured animals often die on their watch. Still, as natural disasters ravage coasts and cities, rehabbers keep going out there to help the helpless. "We're a special breed of people," she says. "We're like superheroes. We can handle everything. That's what we do."</p><p> <em>Reposted with permission from our media associate <a href="http://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/green-life/wildlife-rehabilitators-hidden-heroes-hurricane-season" target="_blank">SIERRA Magazine</a>.</em></p></hr></div>

<a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/monsanto">Monsanto</a> lost its bid to overturn Arkansas' ban on <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/dicamba">dicamba</a>, a controversial <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/pesticides">weedkiller</a> linked to extensive damage to famers' crops in <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/monsanto-dicamba-2468298141.html">the state as well as several other states</a>.
</p><p style="">
	The agribusiness giant makes a version of the herbicide called XtendiMax that's paired with its seeds that are <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/gmo-genetically-modified-organism/">genetically engineered</a> to resist the product. DuPont Co. and BASF SE also sell their own dicamba-based formulations.

	Pulaski County Circuit Judge Chris Piazza dismissed Monsanto&#39;s lawsuit Friday citing a recent Arkansas Supreme Court ruling which held that the state cannot be made a defendant in court.

&lt;iframe class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;YW3IXM1519071015&#34; frameborder=&#34;0&#34; height=&#34;150&#34; id=&#34;twitter-embed-964627285562281985&#34; scrolling=&#34;no&#34; src=&#34;/res/community/twitter_embed/?iframe_id=twitter-embed-964627285562281985&amp;amp;created_ts=1518820041.0&amp;amp;screen_name=ARDeptofAgricul&amp;amp;text=Official+AAD+Statement%3A+%E2%80%9CToday%2C+Judge+Piazza%2C+an+AR+Circuit+Court+Judge%2C+dismissed+the+lawsuit+that+Monsanto+filed%E2%80%A6+https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2FjF94LDkKAe&amp;amp;id=964627285562281985&amp;amp;name=Arkansas+Agriculture&#34; width=&#34;100%&#34;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	&#34;We are disappointed in the court&#39;s decision to dismiss our legal challenge of the plant board&#39;s restrictions, and we will consider additional legal steps that might be appropriate,&#34; Scott Partridge, the company&#39;s vice president of global strategy, told the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2018/02/16/us/ap-us-herbicide-dispute-arkansas.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Associated Press&lt;/a&gt; in a statement. &#34;We look forward to the day when Arkansas growers can benefit from the latest weed-control technology on the market.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	The AP further reported:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;margin-left: 20px;&#34;&gt;
	&#34;Among other arguments, Monsanto claimed that the state did not consider the economic impact of the ban. The company also challenged the makeup of the 18-member board, arguing a state law that gives private groups such as the state Seed Growers Association power to appoint members violates Arkansas&#39; constitution. Piazza said he wouldn&#39;t going to rule specifically on the request for a preliminary injunction in case his dismissal ruling is appealed and sent back to his court.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	Monsanto—which expects farmers to plant &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.agriculture.com/crops/soybeans/monsanto-expects-its-dicamba-tolerant-seeds-on-40-of-us-soy-acres&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;40 million acres&lt;/a&gt; of dicamba-tolerant soybeans and 6 million acres of a cotton version across the U.S. this year—sued the Arkansas State Plant Board over its decision to ban the herbicide&#39;s sale and use between April 16 and Oct. 31. The regulators made the decision &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/arkansas-dicamba-2488282344.html&#34;&gt;after receiving nearly 1,000 complaints&lt;/a&gt; last year over dicamba damage.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	The powerful and drift-prone herbicide has been blamed for damaging more than three millions of acres of non-target crops across the country. Other states such as Tennessee and Missouri—Monsanto&#39;s home state—have also imposed temporary bans or restrictions on the use of dicamba to curb further damage.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	Although dicamba has been around for decades, Monsanto, DuPont Co. and BASF SE sells new formulations of the herbicide that&#39;s said to be less drift-prone and volatile than older versions when used correctly.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	Monsanto has long defended its product, blaming growers for using older versions of dicamba or not following directions on the new product label.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	The controversy will not die anytime soon. &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/pesticide-drift-lawsuit-xtendimax-2534117304.html&#34;&gt;On Friday&lt;/a&gt;, public interest organizations representing farmers and conservationists made their legal case in a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Monsanto, challenging EPA&#39;s approval of Monsanto&#39;s XtendiMax pesticide.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&#34;You won&#39;t believe this queso dip is vegan.&#34;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;S27SA81519067393&#34;&gt;&lt;div class=&#34;fb-video&#34; data-allowfullscreen=&#34;true&#34; data-href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/thrillistfoodanddrink/videos/808403875987003/&#34;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Running out of ideas? Don&#39;t worry, because there are thousands of free vegan recipes at PETA.org. &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.peta.org/recipes/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Browse them now.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Learning More About Going Vegan&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&#34;Chef Isa Chandra Moskowitz wants people to rethink the language they use when it comes to vegan food.&#34;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;VGNK131519067393&#34;&gt;&lt;div class=&#34;fb-video&#34; data-allowfullscreen=&#34;true&#34; data-href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/thrillistnoleftovers/videos/757703341085839/&#34;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&#34;There&#39;s a whole lot more to veganism than you thought.&#34;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;XOR0FE1519067393&#34;&gt;&lt;div class=&#34;fb-video&#34; data-allowfullscreen=&#34;true&#34; data-href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/thrillistfoodanddrink/videos/886048308222559/&#34;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keep in mind that not all Thrillist videos feature entirely vegan recipes or restaurants. Remember&lt;strong&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt; If you spot a recipe video that looks appealing but calls for cheese, milk or eggs, you can easily substitute one of the many readily available vegan &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.peta.org/living/food/the-cereal-lovers-guide-to-plant-based-milk/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;milks&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.peta.org/living/food/everything-you-need-to-know-about-vegan-cheese/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;cheeses&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.peta.org/living/food/egg-replacements/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;egg replacers&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We can all help animals and the environment by making conscientious food choices each time that we head to the grocery store or eat in restaurants. The kindest, most effective decision that we can make is to avoid all foods derived from &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/animals/&#34;&gt;animals&lt;/a&gt;, including &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.peta.org/issues/animals-used-for-food/factory-farming/chickens/egg-industry/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;eggs&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.peta.org/living/food/do-vegans-eat-honey/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;honey&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.peta.org/issues/animals-used-for-food/factory-farming/cows/dairy-industry/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;dairy&lt;/a&gt; &#34;products.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/hr&gt;

<a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/microplastics">Microplastics</a> can really be <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/microplastics-world-ocean-summit-2282357538.html">found everywhere</a>, even in the stomachs of creatures living deep underwater.
</p><p>
	Marine scientists from the National University of Ireland (NUI) in Galway found the 
	<a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/plastics">plastic</a> bits in 73 percent of 233 deep-sea fish collected from the Northwest Atlantic Ocean—one of the highest microplastic frequencies in fish ever recorded worldwide.

                        &lt;p&gt;
	For the study, published Monday in the journal 
	Frontiers in Marine Science, the scientists inspected the stomach contents of dead deep-water fish collected from the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. The sampled fish, including the Spotted Lanternfish, Glacier Lanternfish, White-spotted Lanternfish, Rakery Beaconlamp, Stout Sawpalate and Scaly Dragonfish, were taken from depths of up to 600 meters (about 2,000 feet).

&lt;iframe class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;646V5V1519063788&#34; frameborder=&#34;0&#34; height=&#34;150&#34; id=&#34;twitter-embed-965521869112729600&#34; scrolling=&#34;no&#34; src=&#34;/res/community/twitter_embed/?iframe_id=twitter-embed-965521869112729600&amp;amp;created_ts=1519033326.0&amp;amp;screen_name=nuigalway&amp;amp;text=Study+Finds+73%25+of+Deep+Water+Fish+Ingested+Microplastics+from+the+Northwest+Atlantic+Ocean+https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2FxMrgVX4NwA%E2%80%A6+https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2FzXY5XlEDJN&amp;amp;id=965521869112729600&amp;amp;name=NUI+Galway&#34; width=&#34;100%&#34;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	Even though microplastics are usually found around the ocean&#39;s surface, these fish were able to gobble them up anyway.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&#34;Deep-water fish migrate to the surface at night to feed on plankton (microscope animals) and this is likely when they are exposed to the microplastics,&#34; explained Alina Wieczorek, lead author of the study and Ph.D. candidate from the School of Natural Sciences and Ryan Institute at NUI Galway.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	One fish that was examined, a Spotted Lanternfish less than 2 inches in length, had 13 microplastics extracted from its stomach, Wieczorek said.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&#34;In total, 233 fish were examined with 73 percent of them having microplastics in their stomachs, making it one of the highest reported frequencies of microplastic occurrence in fish worldwide,&#34; she said.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	The fish were sampled from a warm core eddy, which is similar to ocean gyres that are thought to accumulate microplastics. The sampled fish may have originated from a particularly polluted patch of the Atlantic Ocean.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&#34;This would explain why we recorded one of the highest abundances of microplastics in fishes so far, and we plan to further investigate the impacts of microplastics on organisms in the open ocean,&#34; Wieczorek added.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The identified microplastics were mostly &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/story-of-stuff-microfibers-2294645216.html&#34;&gt;microfibers&lt;/a&gt;, with black and blue the most recorded colors. These tiny plastic threads shed from commonly used synthetic fabrics like polyester, rayon and nylon. When washed, plastic microfibers break off and a single jacket can produce &lt;a href=&#34;http://brenmicroplastics.weebly.com/uploads/5/1/7/0/51702815/bren-patagonia_final_report.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;up to 250,000 fibers&lt;/a&gt; in washing machine effluent.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Microplastics can contain additives such as colorants and flame retardants and/or pollutants adsorbed onto the particles from the sea, a &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.nuigalway.ie/about-us/news-and-events/news-archive/2018/february/study-finds-73-of-deep-water-fish-ingested-microplastics-from-the-northwest-atlantic-ocean-.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&amp;amp;utm_medium=twitter&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;press release&lt;/a&gt; for the study noted. Ingesting them can cause internal physical damage to the animals such as inflammation of intestines, reduced feeding and other effects. Ingested microplastics can also move up the food chain.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&#34;While there is clearly a concern that the ingestion of microplastics with associated 
	&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/7-types-of-plastic-wreaking-havoc-on-our-health-1882198584.html&#34;&gt;toxins&lt;/a&gt; may have harmful effects on these fishes, or even the fishes that feed on them, our study highlights that these seemingly remote fishes located thousands of kilometers from land and 600 meters down in our ocean are not isolated from our pollution,&#34; Dr. Tom Doyle, a co-author of the study from the Ryan Institute at NUI Galway, said.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
	&#34;Indeed, it&#39;s worrying to think that our daily activities, such as washing our synthetic clothes in our washing machines, results in billions of microplastics entering our oceans through our waste water stream that may eventually end up in these deep-sea fishes.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed&#34;&gt;

                <p style="">By Karen Perry Stillerman</p><p style="">As we observe Presidents Day, I'm thinking about a president's role in shaping the way we grow food in the U.S., and how we eat. Quite a few of our <a href="https://www.bonappetit.com/entertaining-style/trends-news/slideshow/president-farmers" target="_blank">past presidents were farmers or ranchers</a> at some point in their lives, and some had infamous relationships with certain foods, whether <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYt0khR_ej0" target="_blank">cheeseburgers</a> or <a href="https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/jelly-belly-ronald-reagan" target="_blank">jelly beans</a> or <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video/president-bush-bashes-broccoli-28278899" target="_blank">broccoli</a>. </p>

                        &lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;But a small number of presidents spanning the history of the republic have had particular influence on our food supply and culture, and its impact on the health and well-being of all Americans, including farmers. And notably, as we&#39;re also observing Black History Month, the interventions of those past presidents in our food system have often particularly affected African Americans.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. George Washington: First farmer, innovator and slaveholder&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Whether &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.mountvernon.org/digital-encyclopedia/article/cherry-tree-myth/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;or not&lt;/a&gt; young George chopped down that famous fruit free, the post-presidency Washington &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.mountvernon.org/the-estate-gardens/gardens-landscapes/four-gardens-at-mount-vernon/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;grew cherries&lt;/a&gt;, along with apples, pears, other tree fruits and a whole lot of other food at his Mount Vernon estate, which comprised &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.mountvernon.org/digital-encyclopedia/article/farm-structure/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;five neighboring farms on 8,000 acres&lt;/a&gt;. An innovative farmer &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.mountvernon.org/digital-encyclopedia/article/george-washington-and-agriculture/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;who kept meticulous records&lt;/a&gt;, Washington was an early &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/national/newsroom/features/?cid=nrcseprd1316224&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;proponent of composting&lt;/a&gt; for soil health, and eventually phased out tobacco (the plantation crop of his day in Virginia) in favor of a diversified seven-crop rotation system including wheat for sale, corn for domestic consumption, and fertility-enhancing legume crops. (Sounds like &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ucsusa.org/food-agriculture/advance-sustainable-agriculture/rotating-crops-turning-profits#.WocYkOdG02w&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;a good idea&lt;/a&gt;.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The grim reality behind Washington&#39;s farming success, though, is that his farms were worked by slaves. A slaveowner since age 11, when he inherited ten slaves from his father, Washington bought and sold black people throughout his life (reportedly &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.mountvernon.org/george-washington/slavery/ten-facts-about-washington-slavery/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;treating them severely and separating family members&lt;/a&gt; through sale), and 317 slaves worked on his estate at the time of his death.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;The devastating legacy of racial injustice and inequality at Mount Vernon is still with us, but it is being gradually undone. The &lt;a href=&#34;https://savingplaces.org/places/woodlawn#.Wny3ROdG2Uk&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;126-acre historic Woodlawn estate&lt;/a&gt;—originally part of Washington&#39;s farm network—was &lt;a href=&#34;http://woodlawnfriends.org/home/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Historical-Overview-of-the-Woodlawn-Quaker-Meeting.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;purchased by northern Quakers&lt;/a&gt; prior to the Civil War, expressly to prove that you could farm profitably without slavery. Today, the site is occupied by the &lt;a href=&#34;http://arcadiafood.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Arcadia Center for Sustainable Agriculture&lt;/a&gt;, whose work includes a mobile market delivering fresh, healthy, affordable food to food-insecure neighborhoods &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0wwn9Wvo04&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;like this one&lt;/a&gt; in the Washington DC area.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Thomas Jefferson: Experimentation, failure, and a legacy of slave-centered agriculture&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;The third president has been called America&#39;s &lt;a href=&#34;http://theplate.nationalgeographic.com/2016/04/13/thomas-jefferson-president-scholar-first-foodie/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;&#34;first foodie&#34; for his love of the table&lt;/a&gt;, and of French cuisine in particular. He ate a lot of vegetables, and introduced many new ones to the United States. On his Monticello estate, Jefferson introduced and experimented with a &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.monticello.org/site/house-and-gardens/thomas-jeffersons-legacy-gardening-and-food&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;vast variety of food crops&lt;/a&gt;, including 330 varieties of 89 species of vegetables and herbs and 170 varieties of the fruits. An avid experimenter, Jefferson&#39;s trials &lt;a href=&#34;https://modernfarmer.com/2013/10/thomas-jeffersons-farming-failures/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;often resulted in failure&lt;/a&gt;, leading neighbors to call him &#34;the worst farmer in Virginia.&#34; But in truth he promoted techniques to &lt;a href=&#34;http://blog.nutrientsforlife.org/2010/12/thomas-jefferson%E2%80%99s-soil/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;build soil health&lt;/a&gt; through adding organic matter, and by sharing seeds and techniques widely, he promoted commercial market gardening and spread new crops that &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.history.com/news/hungry-history/thomas-jefferson-americas-pioneering-gourmand&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;expanded the young nation&#39;s food traditions and palate&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Perhaps even more than Washington, Jefferson&#39;s legacy is marred by the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.monticello.org/site/plantation-and-slavery/thomas-jefferson-and-slavery&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;stain of his complicity in slavery, and his racial views&lt;/a&gt;. He embodied the inherent social contradictions at the birth of this nation that we have yet to resolve, by denouncing the institution of slavery while &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-dark-side-of-thomas-jefferson-35976004/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;simultaneously profiting from it&lt;/a&gt;—he owned some 600 slaves who worked on his Monticello farm and other holdings, &lt;a href=&#34;https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/cross-check/for-independence-day-a-look-at-thomas-jefferson-s-egregious-hypocrisy/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;employed brutal overseers, and fathered children&lt;/a&gt; with his slave Sally Hemings through a relationship that, by definition, could not have been consensual. His &lt;a href=&#34;https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/cross-check/for-independence-day-a-look-at-thomas-jefferson-s-egregious-hypocrisy/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;goal of &#34;improving&#34; slavery&lt;/a&gt; as a step towards ending was misguided, as it was used during his time as an argument for its perpetuation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Abraham Lincoln: The USDA and the land-grant college system&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Born in that legendary log cabin on his father&#39;s farm in Kentucky, Lincoln was, as he put it, &#34;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nps.gov/liho/learn/historyculture/alincolnbio.htm&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;raised to farm work&lt;/a&gt;.&#34; His father farmed frontier land in southern Indiana before moving the family to Illinois, where Abe later got his political start in the state legislature. A believer in technological progress in agriculture, Lincoln advocated for &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nal.usda.gov/lincolns-agricultural-legacy&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;horse-drawn machines and steam plows&lt;/a&gt; to take the place of hand labor. As president, he advocated for and signed legislation creating the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), which he later &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.usda.gov/our-agency/about-usda/history&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;called &#34;The People&#39;s Department,&#34;&lt;/a&gt; since about half of all Americans at the time lived on farms. And Lincoln&#39;s early belief in the value of educating farmers came to fruition in 1862 when he signed the Morrill Land Grant College Act, which facilitated the transfer of public land to each of the states to establish colleges of agriculture and the mechanical arts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Lincoln fought a war over slavery (perhaps we&#39;re &lt;a href=&#34;https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/02/jeff-sessions-on-slavery-lincoln-and-the-civil-war-non-outrageous.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;finally coming to agreement&lt;/a&gt; on that point?), issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, and submitted the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.loc.gov/rr/program/bib/ourdocs/13thamendment.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;13th Amendment prohibiting slavery&lt;/a&gt; to the states for ratification just a few month before his violent death in 1865. But it would be another quarter century before freed slaves in the former Confederate states would get the benefit of a land-grant education Lincoln envisioned. A &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.1890universities.org/history&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;second Morrill Act in 1890&lt;/a&gt; required each state to show that race was not an admissions criterion for its land-grant colleges, or else to designate a separate institution for students of color. (See some of the achievements of some of the institutions known as &lt;a href=&#34;https://nifa.usda.gov/blog/second-morrill-act-redux-america%E2%80%99s-1890s-land-grant-universities-academic-excellence&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;1890 schools here&lt;/a&gt;.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Theodore Roosevelt: Cattle ranching and conservation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Teddy Roosevelt&#39;s is known as one of the nation&#39;s great conservationists, but that legacy was born out of a series of calamities. On a &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nps.gov/thro/learn/historyculture/theodore-roosevelt-the-rancher.htm&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;hunting trip in the Dakota Territory&lt;/a&gt; in 1883, the passionate outdoorsman discovered that native bison herds had been decimated by commercial hunters. Cattle ranching on the region&#39;s vast grasslands was &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/archive/streeter/2007report/beef_history/History_Beef_west.htm&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;booming&lt;/a&gt; in bison&#39;s wake, and he became interested in the cattle business, investing $14,000 (a huge sum at the time) in a ranch. Returning to politics in New York, Roosevelt was struck by tragedy with the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/theodore-roosevelts-wife-and-mother-die&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;death of both his mother and his wife&lt;/a&gt; on the same day in 1884, and he turned to the West and the ranching life to forget. But cattle in the Badlands at the time was itself a looming disaster: a boom with no regulation quickly led to massive overgrazing, and a scorching summer followed by a harsh winter in 1886-87 proved deadly. Tens of thousands of cattle, about 80 percent of the region&#39;s herds, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/1887-blizzard-changed-american-frontier-forever-1-180953852/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;froze and starved to death in a blizzard&lt;/a&gt;. Roosevelt himself lost over half his herd, and soon got out of the business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;But his experience with agricultural disaster helped shape the future president&#39;s views on the importance of conservation and led to an &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.doi.gov/blog/conservation-legacy-theodore-roosevelt&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;inspiring conservation legacy&lt;/a&gt;. Using his presidential authority, Roosevelt gave federal protection to more than 230 million acres of public land, creating the National Forest Service (now part of the USDA) and five national parks, and setting aside 51 federal bird reservations, 18 national monuments, and four national game preserves. In &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.theodoreroosevelt.org/site/c.elKSIdOWIiJ8H/b.8344385/k.114A/The_Conservationist.htm&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;his words in 1908&lt;/a&gt;: &#34;We have become great because of the lavish use of our resources and we have just reason to be proud of our growth. But the time has come to inquire seriously what will happen when our forests are gone, when the coal, the iron, the oil and the gas are exhausted, when the soils have been still further impoverished and washed into the streams, polluting the rivers, denuding the fields, and obstructing navigation.&#34; (Nah, that couldn&#39;t happen, could it?)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Dust Bowl and soil conservation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, FDR inherited economic and ecological catastrophes that hit farmers particularly hard. The Dust Bowl was caused by massive-scale plowing up of grasslands (the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.pbs.org/kenburns/dustbowl/legacy/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Great Plow-Up&lt;/a&gt; of the 1910s and 20s) followed by &lt;a href=&#34;http://drought.unl.edu/DroughtBasics/DustBowl/DroughtintheDustBowlYears.aspx&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;four distinct drought events&lt;/a&gt; in the 1930s. It scorched the Plains and literally blew away its soil, leaving millions of acres of farmland useless, driving farmers into bankruptcy and off the land, and worsening the banking and unemployment crises.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;An &lt;a href=&#34;http://netnebraska.org/article/news/1078024/fdrs-great-wall-trees-prairie-states-forestry-project&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;amateur forester&lt;/a&gt;, Roosevelt understood the importance of soil conservation, and soon after taking office he &lt;a href=&#34;http://rooseveltinstitute.org/fdr-and-new-deal-response-environmental-catastrophe/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;established the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Soil Erosion Service&lt;/a&gt;. The latter (now the USDA&#39;s Natural Resources Conservation Service) was the first major federal conservation effort to focus on privately owned natural resources. FDR also launched the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.dailyyonder.com/fdrs-big-break-shelterbelt/2015/07/10/7895/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Plains Shelterbelt Project&lt;/a&gt; effort that planted millions of trees, creating windbreaks (&lt;a href=&#34;https://thefern.org/2017/11/uprooting-fdrs-great-wall-trees/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;now at risk&lt;/a&gt;) on farms from the Canadian border to Texas. And he initiated farm policies to help farmers manage future boom-and-bust cycles by preventing overproduction. The Agricultural Adjustment Act enacted on his watch would grow into today&#39;s wide-ranging &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ucsusa.org/food_and_agriculture/solutions/strengthen-healthy-farm-policy/the-farm-bill.html#.Wocf5OdG02w&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Farm Bill&lt;/a&gt;, which still struggles with how to deal with overproduction while providing livelihood for the nation&#39;s farmers and conserving soil and water.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. Richard Nixon: Turning farming into big business&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nixon was a contradiction. Scholars &lt;a href=&#34;http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/key-legacies-president-richard-nixon-100th-birthday/story?id=18160523&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;continue to dissect&lt;/a&gt; his deep character flaws and divisiveness, but also his &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2012/06/13/did-any-good-come-of-watergate/nixon-had-some-successes-before-his-disgrace&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;achievements&lt;/a&gt;. Among the latter, he created the EPA and signed the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nixonfoundation.org/2015/06/the-origins-of-the-national-environmental-policy-act-of-1969/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;National Environmental Policy Act&lt;/a&gt; (both of which, one hopes, will survive the current administration&#39;s &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.vox.com/2017/7/1/15886420/pruitt-threat-epa&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;many&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.eenews.net/stories/1060073597&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;assaults&lt;/a&gt;), and he made &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.nixonfoundation.org/2010/04/the-rise-of-the-environment-3/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;dozens of other environmental proposals&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;But his lasting legacy in agriculture continues to haunt us. That&#39;s because Nixon gave his blessing to his agriculture secretary, Earl Butz, to essentially undo decades of FDR&#39;s supply management policy. The Nixon years would be all about maximizing and consolidating farm production. &#34;Get big or get out,&#34; Butz told farmers in 1973, and boy, did they. His policies encouraged farmers to plant as much corn and other commodities as they could, on every possible bit of land. Today, one might argue, we have Nixon and Butz to thank for &lt;a href=&#34;https://blog.ucsusa.org/karen-perry-stillerman/dead-zone-2017-even-worse-than-predicted-and-thats-an-understatement&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;persistent fertilizer pollution&lt;/a&gt; in our nation&#39;s waterways, for high-fructose corn syrup and the power and &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ucsusa.org/center-for-science-and-democracy/sugar-coating-science.html#.WoWpQOdG02w&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;deception&lt;/a&gt; of the food industry, and for our &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.cnn.com/2017/10/13/health/adult-obesity-increase-study/index.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;enduring crisis of obesity&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.salon.com/2017/09/16/want-to-fix-americas-health-care-first-focus-on-food_partner/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;diet-related disease&lt;/a&gt;. See the &lt;a href=&#34;https://grist.org/article/the-butz-stops-here/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;full story of Secretary Butz&lt;/a&gt;, entertainingly told by Tom Philpott back in 2008, here. And read &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/04/washington/04butz.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Butz&#39;s obit&lt;/a&gt;, which recounts how a nasty racist comment ended his political career.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7. George W. Bush: Justice for black farmers denied&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;While George W. Bush spent a lot of his presidency clearing brush on his Texas ranch, he wasn&#39;t particularly known for his agriculture policy. But during his administration, a long-simmering dispute between the USDA and black farmers came to a head. The background: in 1997 a group of &lt;a href=&#34;https://grist.org/food/what-happened-to-americas-black-farmers/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;black farmers sued the USDA&lt;/a&gt;, citing years of racial discrimination by the department, which denied black producers loans and other assistance and failed to act on their claims for years. The farmers prevailed in 1999, winning &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.colorlines.com/archives/2009/01/the_last_plantation.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;a $2.3 billion settlement&lt;/a&gt; from the government, the biggest in civil rights history. But there were limitations on who could collect under the Pigford settlement (named for lead plaintiff Timothy Pigford, a black corn and soybean farmer from North Carolina), and what kinds of documentation they would need to provide.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Under W&#39;s watch, many of the 22,000 farmers who had joined the Pigford suit were denied payment; by one estimate, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ewg.org/research/obstruction-justice/usda-settlement-fails-black-farmers#.WoW6gedG02w&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;nine out of 10 farmers&lt;/a&gt; who sought damages were denied. And the Bush Department of Justice, representing the USDA, reportedly spent &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facingsouth.org/2010/07/the-real-story-of-racism-at-the-usda.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;56,000 office hours and $12 million&lt;/a&gt; contesting farmers&#39; claims. Many farmers believed their claims were rejected on technicalities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8. Barack Obama: Justice and healthy food, served&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Much of the Obama food and farming legacy (which is &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.newyorker.com/culture/annals-of-appearances/the-mystery-of-amy-sheralds-portrait-of-michelle-obama&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;hers&lt;/a&gt; as much as his) is well known: the now &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/michelle-obama-garden-changes-white-house-229204&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;permanent&lt;/a&gt; White House kitchen garden (which, incidentally, includes a &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.monticello.org/site/blog-and-community/posts/jefferson-plants-white-house-kitchen-garden&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;section honoring Thomas Jefferson&lt;/a&gt; with favorite varieties from his own garden at Monticello) along with the (possibly &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.npr.org/2017/05/01/526451207/trump-administration-rolls-back-2-of-michelle-obamas-signature-initiatives&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;less permanent&lt;/a&gt;) improvements to school meals that resulted from the bipartisan &lt;a href=&#34;https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/sites/default/files/Child_Nutrition_Fact_Sheet_12_10_10.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act&lt;/a&gt; they championed, and the &lt;a href=&#34;https://letsmove.obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Let&#39;s Move!&lt;/a&gt; campaign. The USDA under the Obama administration also made &lt;a href=&#34;https://blog.ucsusa.org/karen-perry-stillerman/food-and-farm-progress-to-be-thankful-for&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;other efforts to improve our nation&#39;s food system&lt;/a&gt; by promoting local and regional farm economies, increasing agricultural research, and strengthening federal dietary guidelines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He also fixed a lingering problem with the Pigford discrimination settlement described above. Failure to effectively notify and communicate with black farmers eligible for payout under the 1999 settlement meant that many farmers were left out. Obama&#39;s Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and Attorney General Eric Holder advocated for a fix, and in 2010, the administration announced a &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/18/AR2010021805893.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;$1.25 billion settlement&lt;/a&gt; of the so-called &#34;Pigford II&#34; claims.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And now what?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;These eight former presidents have made their mark on U.S. agriculture and food, delivering both progress and setbacks. Bottom line this Presidents Day? We still have a lot of work to do to achieve a healthy, sustainable, and just food system in this country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Next time I&#39;ll look at what happens when the occupant of the White House is not only not a farmer, but seems puzzlingly (if not cynically) indifferent to farmers&#39; concern. And when, instead of a healthy food advocate, he&#39;s an unabashed proponent of the same processed and fast foods that are damaging the health—and even shortening the lives—of our nation&#39;s children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://blog.ucsusa.org/author/karen-perry-stillerman#.Wor2vhPwYcg&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Karen Perry Stillerman&lt;/a&gt; is a senior communication strategist and senior analyst in the Food &amp;amp; Environment Program at Union of Concerned Scientists.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/hr&gt;

                <p>By <a href="https://www.desmogblog.com/user/justin-mikulka" target="_blank">Justin Mikulka</a></p><p>A new technology has the potential to transform the <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/bitumen-balls-pellets-pipelines-rail-train-transport-energy-alberta-technology-1.4277320" target="_blank">transportation of tars sands oil</a>. Right now, the already thick and slow-flowing oil, known as bitumen, has to be diluted with a super-light petroleum product, usually natural gas condensate, in order for it to flow through a <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/pipelines">pipeline</a> or into a rail tank car. </p><p>However, scientists at the University of Calgary's Schulich School of Engineering inadvertently found a way to make <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/tar-sands">tar sands</a> oil even more viscous, turning it into "self-sealing pellets" that could potentially simplify its transport.</p>
            </div>
            <div class="js-appear-on-expand">
                <script type="keep-reading-content">
                        &lt;p&gt;&#34;We&#39;ve taken heavy oil, or bitumen, either one, and we&#39;ve discovered a process to convert them rapidly and reproducibly into pellets,&#34; Ian Gates, the professor leading the research, told CBC News in September.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Based on the initial description of this product, it appears that it could alleviate many of the risks involved with moving tar sands oil by rail. The research teams says this product floats in water, does not pose a fire and explosion risk like the diluted bitumen currently moved in rail tank cars, and would eliminate &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/air-pollution&#34;&gt;air quality issues&lt;/a&gt; related to the volatile components of diluted bitumen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If true, this technology would appear to reduce potential risks to people and the environment, in comparison with moving diluted bitumen by rail or in pipelines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gates also suggests that the solidified bitumen can be moved in the type of open rail cars used for &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/coal&#34;&gt;coal&lt;/a&gt;. That would be welcome news to railroads, which have been losing business transporting coal as demand has dwindled. Gates did not respond to multiple requests for comment on this article.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Canadian National Working to Commercialize Similar Technology&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, similar research and development has been happening not within the Canadian oil industry, but instead by a Canadian railroad, which has patented another method of solidifying tar sands for transport.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Canadian National Railway (CN) holds a patent for a technology dubbed &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.canapux.com/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;CanaPux&lt;/a&gt;, in an apparent reference to the hockey puck-like product under development. CN&#39;s CanaPux website &lt;a href=&#34;https://files8.webydo.com/93/9342663/UploadedFiles/A7C68D64-7DD9-0AAD-FBF4-48B385075CAB.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;provides details&lt;/a&gt; about the product&#39;s potential, and describes the technology in the following way:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;Heavy crude oil (bitumen) is combined with polymers, a form of recyclable plastic that both thickens the crude oil into a solid shape and encases it with a protective shell. The pellets move best in open topped gondola railcars, similar to how we move coal.&#34;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CN also makes claims about the pucks being a safer and more environmentally friendly way of moving bitumen:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;The pellet is not flammable or explosive, will float in water and nothing can leach or dissolve into the environment. It does not create dust.&#34;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps the most attractive part of this technology would be if cleaning up a &#34;spill&#34; of CanaPux pellets were as easy as CN&#39;s website purports:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;They will simply need to be picked up. That could be done by hand, with construction equipment, nets, booms or vacuums.&#34;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Still, CN makes clear that the company remains in the early stages of developing CanaPux and has not yet confirmed many of its expectations about how the product would act in the environment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;We want to do the studies that will prove that it will float in fresh water, salt water, how it behaves in cold and in heat,&#34; Janet Drysdale, vice president of corporate development at CN, told &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/cn-develops-technology-that-could-make-bitumen-transportation-safer/article34082304/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;The Globe and Mail&lt;/a&gt; in February 2017. &#34;All of that will be validated with additional lab work.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While CN confirmed that the CanuPux technology was separate from the work at Schulich School of Engineering, CN would not offer further comment on the status of the CanuPux technology.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Exports Without Opposition?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Washington Gov. Jay Inslee &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.desmogblog.com/2018/01/29/washington-inslee-rejects-oil-rail-vancouver-energy-tesoro-savage&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;rejected a permit &lt;/a&gt;for the largest proposed oil-by-rail facility in America last month, the decision effectively shut down the oil-by-rail industry&#39;s major expansion plans for the U.S. West Coast. However, Canadian oil-by-rail volumes are &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.desmogblog.com/2017/12/21/canadian-tar-sands-oil-production-increase-rail&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;currently increasing&lt;/a&gt; and an even higher volume of tar sands oil is expected to be moved this way. Without these new American destinations for diluted bitumen transported by rail, the options for Canadian oil producers have been limited further.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If all of CN&#39;s claims pan out, moving bitumen in solid form could address many of the concerns voiced by activists who oppose oil-by-rail transport. The risk of an explosive &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/derailed-canadian-crude-oil-train-still-burning/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;&#34;bomb train&#34; event&lt;/a&gt; would be eliminated. Air &lt;a href=&#34;https://bangordailynews.com/2015/11/12/business/irving-oil-has-struggled-to-control-air-pollution/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;pollution concerns&lt;/a&gt; from vaporizing diluted bitumen also would no longer be an issue. Spills of Canadian oil into waterways, which happened when two oil trains derailed &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/sudbury/gallery-gogama-spill-voices-1.4238494&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;in Gogama&lt;/a&gt;, Ontario, should have a much smaller environmental impact.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And CN is banking on these differences to help oil producers get their product to ports where it can be exported. The Globe and Mail &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/cn-develops-technology-that-could-make-bitumen-transportation-safer/article34082304/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;reported that &lt;/a&gt;&#34;the technology could give oil-sands producers who lack pipeline access a new way to reach refineries in North America, Asia, and other overseas markets.&#34; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is another potential advantage to the technology. According to a post on the website of Canadian oil pipeline company &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.enbridge.com/energy-matters/news-and-views/canadian-railway-researching-the-concept-of-bitumen-bricks&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Enbridge&lt;/a&gt;, &#34;CN hopes that the transformation will make the product exempt from Canada&#39;s tanker ban on British Columbia&#39;s North Coast.&#34; This sentiment was repeated in an article in &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.oilsandsmagazine.com/news/2017/12/29/piloting-a-safer-crude-by-rail-option&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Oil Sands Magazine&lt;/a&gt;: &#34;The solid pellets are also likely to be exempted from the federal Liberal&#39;s crude tanker moratorium off BC&#39;s northern coast, although Transport Minister Marc Garneau says more testing is needed to confirm the consequences of a spill.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What is unknown at this point is how this pelleted product would be classified and regulated. If it is a solid non-toxic product, will new environmental impact studies be required for ports that want to host tar sands export facilities? Will cities like &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.desmogblog.com/2017/12/15/judge-sides-portland-montreal-pipeline-maine-oil-case&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;South Portland, Maine&lt;/a&gt;, which have passed a &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.protectsouthportland.org/clear-skies.html&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;local ordinance&lt;/a&gt; banning the &#34;loading of crude oil&#34; at its port to prevent tar sands oil exports, have any say over this new product?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another question is whether this technology will give new life to projects like a proposed &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.jwnenergy.com/article/2017/12/two-rival-groups-promoting-same-alberta-alaska-oil-rail-proposal/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;railway from Alberta to Alaska&lt;/a&gt;, which would connect to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System and be constructed solely to export tar sands oil.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&#39;Keep It in the Ground&#39; as Last Line of Defense&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CN is on the record saying it does not expect this technology to replace pipelines and that CanaPux represents just one more option for oil producers to reach foreign markets. While Canada does not have enough rail capacity to move all of the bitumen it is producing, the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.epmag.com/albertas-oil-industry-facing-perfect-storm-awful-1681346&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;country&#39;s current issues with pipeline capacity&lt;/a&gt; are forcing more companies to &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.upi.com/Canadian-oil-exports-by-rail-increasing/8151517317068/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;choose rail&lt;/a&gt; to transport diluted bitumen, lending additional appeal for shipping tar sands oil in pellet form.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the CanaPux technology pans out and delivers on CN&#39;s promises, it would appear to be a vast improvement in the tar sands-by-rail industry on multiple fronts, namely, the safety of communities along the train tracks and the reduced environmental impacts from derailments. These advantages are real. The U.S. has yet to address either the dangers &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.desmogblog.com/2016/11/28/regulators-consider-crude-oil-volatility-limits-would-require-oil-stabilization&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;posed by explosive oils &lt;/a&gt;moved by rail or a &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.desmogblog.com/2014/02/25/past-time-close-loophole-exempts-oil-rail-companies-spill-response-planning&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;loophole&lt;/a&gt; granting a free pass on spill response planning for oil trains. Proposed regulations to address this loophole are stalled within the &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/trump-watch/&#34;&gt;Trump&lt;/a&gt; administration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For climate activists, however, the biggest argument against new oil-by-rail facilities has always been the need to &#34;keep it in the ground,&#34; that is, not developing certain fossil fuel reserves in order to prevent harmful globe-warming emissions. This argument remains as scientists, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/oil-sands-should-be-left-in-the-ground-nasa-scientist/article4329133/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;including former NASA scientist James Hansen&lt;/a&gt;, have said that if the &lt;a href=&#34;https://thinkprogress.org/majority-of-u-s-coal-canadian-tar-sands-will-have-to-stay-in-the-ground-to-meet-climate-goals-6844c190ab72/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;majority of Canada&#39;s tar sands oil &lt;/a&gt;reserves do not remain undeveloped, efforts at limiting catastrophic &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/climate-change/&#34;&gt;climate change&lt;/a&gt; may become impossible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Canadian oil and rail companies clearly don&#39;t share this opinion. And neither does Canada&#39;s political leadership. In 2017, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the country has no intention of leaving its enormous reserves of tar sands &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsAfWLxViMA&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;oil in the ground&lt;/a&gt;, and more recently, he promised to make sure the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.reuters.com/article/us-canada-trudeau-transmountain/canadas-trudeau-says-kinder-morgan-pipeline-expansion-to-proceed-radio-idUSKBN1FL6AQ&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;new Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline&lt;/a&gt; would be completed.&lt;/p&gt;

                <p style="">By Jaymi Heimbuch</p><p style="">Coyotes in urban spaces have become the new normal. There is now a large, and growing, population of coyotes in San Francisco. Residents in Los Angeles, Phoenix and Denver—among many other western cities—have long lived alongside coyotes.</p>

                <script type="keep-reading-content">
                        &lt;p&gt; In recent decades, coyotes have even moved into urban hubs such as Chicago and New York City. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But what do we really know about urban coyotes&#39; normal behavior? Surprisingly little. So researchers are busy trying to determine how, exactly, coyotes utilize city spaces and what factors cause a coyote to become a &#34;nuisance animal.&#34; There&#39;s just one hitch: Coyotes are so clever and so adaptable that they keep changing the game as they figure out their strategies for living the city life. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;One expert on the cutting edge of coyote research is Dr. David Drake with the &lt;a href=&#34;http://uwurbancanidproject.weebly.com/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;University of Wisconsin-Madison Urban Canid Project&lt;/a&gt; (UWUCP). UWUCP is shedding a light on many aspects of coyote behavior, and those findings, in turn, are illuminating how to create smarter coexistence strategies between humans and wild coyotes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image&#34;&gt;

&lt;small class=&#34;image-media media-photo-credit&#34; placeholder=&#34;add photo credit...&#34;&gt;Jaymi Heimbuch / Urban Coyote Initiative&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By collaring and tracking the city&#39;s wild canids, Drake and his team are revealing a wealth of information about where coyotes prefer to live, their travel patterns, and how they share space with another common urban carnivore, the red fox. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Each winter, the team begins their collaring work. Thanks to the snow, it is a much easier time of year to see where their potential study subjects are hanging out. In January 2017, I had the chance to shadow Drake and his team during their field research.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image&#34;&gt;
&lt;img class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;QMR9XC1519060191&#34; data-rm-shortcode-name=&#34;rebelmouse-image&#34; id=&#34;cae1a&#34; src=&#34;https://assets.rbl.ms/17265077/980x.jpg&#34;/&gt;
&lt;small class=&#34;image-media media-photo-credit&#34; placeholder=&#34;add photo credit...&#34;&gt;Jaymi Heimbuch / Urban Coyote Initiative&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s about 15 degrees Fahrenheit as we exit the truck, and the sky is a pale winter gray despite the sun trying hard to shine through the clouds. Our small group is made up of Dr. Drake, graduate student Marcus Mueller, and several veterinary students. We walk a trail from the parking lot into an empty field near the university&#39;s arboretum. As we get closer to one of the team&#39;s nonlethal traps, we all hang back as Marcus keeps moving quietly forward.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He stops, peering through waist-high grass stalks and then gives us a nod. There is a coyote in the cable restraint he and Drake set the night before. This coyote is about to be a participant in a study that tracks the movement of Madison&#39;s urban coyotes. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After anesthetizing the young female, Mueller sets her on a tarp and wraps her in blankets to ensure her body stays warm after the drugs takes effect and her metabolism slows down. Then, we all approach and get to work. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The coyote is weighed and gets a radio collar carefully secured around her neck. The veterinary students take blood samples that will be held in storage until there is funding for analysis for health and genetics at a later point in time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the study continues, more and more questions are raised, including how the area&#39;s wild canids are related, how and where they disperse to, what diseases they have been exposed to, and more. The team collects what data they can now in preparation for future research funding. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Along with coyotes, the team is catching and collaring red foxes that live in Madison. When the study launched, its primary goal was to discover how foxes and coyotes share the urban landscape both spatially and temporally. Coyotes and foxes are considered natural competitors, and &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/wildlife&#34;&gt;wildlife&lt;/a&gt; biologists have long assumed that if there are coyotes around, there will not be red foxes. In the urban landscape, however, it turns out this assumption is false. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Marcus Mueller recently published his master&#39;s research in the Public Library of Science (&lt;a href=&#34;http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0190971&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;PLOS&lt;/a&gt;). His findings show that coyotes and foxes are active at the same times of day, but for the most part chose to use different types of habitat. Foxes tend to be in areas of higher human activity while coyotes prefer to stick to the margins, hanging out in areas with as little human activity as possible. This isn&#39;t always the case, though. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;In our study area, coyotes within the largest natural area (UW Arboretum) rarely ventured into surrounding developed areas, whereas coyotes near smaller natural areas (Owen Park) frequently used adjacent neighborhoods,&#34; Mueller wrote. &#34;The size of natural areas may influence resource availability and therefore affect the way wildlife uses these areas.&#34; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;UWUCP is also interested in exploring how coyotes behave in city habitats and what this means for developing better strategies for coexistence between humans and coyotes. Social media, it turns out, is one of the most critical components.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The UW team has embraced the press and social media as a way to engage the public about its work, including answering questions about why and how they&#39;re collaring coyotes. That connection has sparked successes that could be modeled elsewhere. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#34;shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image&#34; style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
&lt;img class=&#34;rm-shortcode&#34; data-rm-shortcode-id=&#34;BZD3R91519060191&#34; data-rm-shortcode-name=&#34;rebelmouse-image&#34; id=&#34;5274a&#34; src=&#34;https://assets.rbl.ms/17265082/980x.jpg&#34;/&gt;
&lt;small class=&#34;image-media media-photo-credit&#34; placeholder=&#34;add photo credit...&#34;&gt;Jaymi Heimbuch / Urban Coyote Initiative&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;For instance, in 2016 UWUCP began receiving reports of daytime sightings of one of its collared coyotes. The coyote wasn&#39;t running away from cars or people, which means it may have started losing its healthy fear of humans. So the team posted an alert on &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.facebook.com/uwurbancanidproject/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;UWUCP&#39;s Facebook page&lt;/a&gt;. The post gave a heads up to the public that this coyote seemed to be getting habituated. It also made a call to action, requesting residents haze the coyote when they saw it, and to remove attractants like pet food that might be drawing the coyote into the locations recorded by the radio collar. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Within three days, the post reached 8,000 people, and UWUCP stopped receiving reports of the coyote.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&#34;That&#39;s just an anecdote, [showing] that what we did worked,&#34; Drake told me. &#34;But clearly we think reaching 8,000 people is a good thing, and we pushed good information out to 8,000 people that we wouldn&#39;t have otherwise. And, the animal wasn&#39;t seen anymore or people weren&#39;t reporting it anymore. We were able to affect management in real time, and that was a fun thing to explore.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&#34;We definitely think a Facebook page or social media is the way to go,&#34; Mueller added. &#34;That&#39;s how so many people communicate with each other, and you can get information out in real time for the most part. It&#39;s an opportunity for us to get people hooked, and once we have them hooked we can give them information and knowledge about what&#39;s going on and try to increase tolerance for these animals. If [people] come across these animals, they know what to do to keep themselves safe, to keep the animals safe, to keep their pets safe.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Facebook is one platform, as is Twitter and more localized message board platforms such as Nextdoor. The team also utilizes &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.inaturalist.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;iNaturalist&lt;/a&gt;, hosting a page for people to report sightings of foxes and coyotes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&#34;That helps us understand where these animals are on the landscape, if there are animals out there that we don&#39;t know about, and we look at how well our radio collar information overlaps with that iNaturalist data,&#34; Mueller said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;The more the team learns about how the animals utilize the landscape, the more of a story there is to tell residents and get them engaged and excited about the wildlife with whom they share the city, and the more able they are to assuage fears and proactively avoid conflicts, from coyote predation on pet cats to fox predation on backyard chickens. Every collared coyote and fox represents an information set that will ultimately benefit the entire population living within Madison&#39;s city lines and, perhaps, in cities across the country. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;Among the questions the team continues to explore is where and when certain types of coyote-hazing activity by humans is effective; how often coyotes and foxes come into contact with domestic dogs; and coyote density from a rural to urban gradient, as part of understanding how coyotes disperse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;It is only a matter of time and determined watchfulness from researchers before we have unraveled the mystery of urban coyotes and craft an effective toolset for coexisting with our wild neighbors. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Reposted with permission from our media associate &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/coyotes-urban-wildlife&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;SIERRA Magazine&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/hr&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	Known locally as the &#34;royal turtle,&#34; the reptiles got its name because it was historically considered a delicacy reserved for the Cambodian royal family. It was designated as the country&#39;s national reptile in 2005.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	The turtles were believed to be extinct until its re-discovery in the river in 2000. Only three nests were found in the last two years.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	The  southern river terrapin is currently listed on &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.iucnredlist.org/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;IUCN&#39;s Red List&lt;/a&gt; as critically endangered. The rare species has been &#34;pushed to the brink of extinction largely due to unsustainable harvesting of eggs and adults. Consequently, they exist in small isolated populations and there are only a few wild nesting females left in total,&#34; the IUCN &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.iucn.org/content/one-world%E2%80%99s-rarest-turtles-heading-back-wild&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;said&lt;/a&gt;. &#34;Young terrapins are also vulnerable to predators such as water birds and monitor lizards, and to accidental entanglement in fishing gear.&#34;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	The royal turtle is one of the world&#39;s 25 most endangered tortoises and freshwater turtles, the WCS noted.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	&#34;Despite success after the species was re-discovered in 2000, the Royal Turtle is still at high risk of extinction. The number of nests found each year is very low, with just three nests in the last two years&#34; said Som Sitha, WCS&#39;s technical advisor to the Koh Kong Conservation Project.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	&#34;Illegal clearance of flooded forest and illegal fishing puts this species at risk. Everyone can help conserve our national reptile by not purchasing or eating their meat and eggs,&#34; he said.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	In Hul, an official with the Fisheries Administration and project coordinator, said that the period between January to March is the royal turtle&#39;s breeding period, so the team is working hard to search for its nests along the Sre Ambel River system.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	&#34;If we find a nest, we will work with the local community to protect it until the eggs hatch and then bring the hatchlings to Koh Kong Reptile Conservation Center where they will be cared for until they are mature and can be released back to the wild,&#34; he said.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;&#34;&gt;
	&#34;We also conduct outreach so that local villagers living around the river are aware of the importance of the royal turtle because it is Cambodia&#39;s national reptile and a critically endangered species. Collection of eggs or adults for consumption or sale is illegal in Cambodia,&#34; he added.

                        &lt;p&gt;In their &lt;a href=&#34;https://static1.squarespace.com/static/571d109b04426270152febe0/t/5a870db69140b70db78e78d3/1518800312335/Complaint.FILED.2.16.18.pdf&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;suit&lt;/a&gt; (pdf), filed Friday in King County Superior Court, the plaintiffs, aged seven to 17, say the state, Gov. Jay Inslee, and several state agencies have created and propped up &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/fossil-fuels&#34;&gt;fossil fuel&lt;/a&gt;-based energy and transportation systems, thereby fueling greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the climate crisis. In so doing, they have created &#34;unconstitutional conditions&#34;—depriving the young people of their rights to a healthful and pleasant environment, and their rights to life, liberty and property.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The climate-fueling actions, the suit says, have put the young people &#34;in a position of danger with deliberate indifference to their safety in a manner that shocks the conscience.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The state&#39;s current GHG reduction limits &#34;are not consistent with what the scientific consensus says is needed to stabilize the climate system,&#34; the suit states. Rather than take action to address climate change, the suit says the state and the agencies &#34;have acted with shocking deliberate indifference and abdication of duty to address this crisis.&#34; That&#39;s despite fact that the defendants were aware of the impacts of the climate crisis &#34;[s]ince at least the late 1980s, well before these plaintiffs were born.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The youths were forced to bring the suit &#34;because the fossil fuel-based energy and transportation system created, supported, and operated by the defendants, and the systematic, affirmative aggregate actions which make up and support that system, severely endangers plaintiffs and their ability to grow to adulthood safely and enjoy the rights, benefits, and privileges of past generations of Washingtonians due to the resulting climate change.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The suit lists the specific dangers the climate crisis is causing the plaintiffs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For 17-year-old James, for example, a member of the Quinault Indian Nation, his coastal village of Taholah has to be relocated because of &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/sea-level-rise&#34;&gt;sea level rise&lt;/a&gt;. &#34;This critical loss of his place-based heritage, a heritage that dates back to time immemorial, is irreplaceable, and permanent,&#34; the suit states. The traditional clamming activities he takes part in are also becoming limited because of climate change impacts including algal blooms, ocean acidification, and warming waters. &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/extreme-weather&#34;&gt;Increasingly severe storms&lt;/a&gt; have also had an impact on his family, causing power outages. All these impacts, the suit says, are causing mental and emotional stress, and without meaningful action to address the climate crisis, the impacts are set to worsen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A plan for state-level energy and transportation systems that support a healthy climate system is feasible, the suit says:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;margin-left: 20px;&#34;&gt;&#34;A zero-CO2 energy and transportation system for Washington state can be achieved by 2050 without acquiring carbon credits from other states or countries. In other words, actual physical emissions of CO2 from fossil fuels can be eliminated with technologies that are now available or under development.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&#34;margin-left: 20px;&#34;&gt;Experts have already concluded the feasibility of, and prepared a roadmap for, the transition of all of Washington&#39;s energy use (for electricity, transportation, heating/cooling, and industry) to a 100 percent &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/renewable-energy/&#34;&gt;renewable energy&lt;/a&gt; system by 2050. In addition to the direct benefits of avoiding a destabilized climate system, this transition will reduce &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/air-pollution&#34;&gt;air pollution&lt;/a&gt; and save lives and costs associated with air pollution.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Seventeen-year-old plaintiff Aji Piper, for one, is optimistic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;I feel hopeful because of this lawsuit, like grass tips emerging from thawing snow. This is my state government&#39;s chance to rise up and take responsibility for their actions. This is also a chance for my government to use real science in the policy they create. This lawsuit gives the Washington state government a chance to take the lead and commit to the citizens it serves and the lives it must protect,&#34; he said in a statement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The lawsuit is being supported by the Oregon-based nonprofit &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ourchildrenstrust.org&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;Our Children&#39;s Trust&lt;/a&gt;, which has other similar &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.ourchildrenstrust.org/pending-state-actions&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;state-level legal actions&lt;/a&gt; underway as well as the landmark &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.commondreams.org/news/2017/02/09/trump-named-climate-villain-number-one-landmark-youth-suit%20&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Juliana v. United States&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, in which Aji Piper is also a plaintiff.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A trial date for the new lawsuit, &lt;em&gt;Aji P. v. State of Washington&lt;/em&gt;, is set for Feb. 19, 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
