Grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, coyotes, cougars/ mountain lions,bobcats, wolverines, lynx, foxes, fishers and martens are the suite of carnivores that originally inhabited North America after the Pleistocene extinctions. This site invites research, commentary, point/counterpoint on that suite of native animals (predator and prey) that inhabited The Americas circa 1500-at the initial point of European exploration and subsequent colonization. Landscape ecology, journal accounts of explorers and frontiersmen, genetic evaluations of museum animals, peer reviewed 20th and 21st century research on various aspects of our "Wild America" as well as subjective commentary from expert and layman alike. All of the above being revealed and discussed with the underlying goal of one day seeing our Continent rewilded.....Where big enough swaths of open space exist with connective corridors to other large forest, meadow, mountain, valley, prairie, desert and chaparral wildlands.....Thereby enabling all of our historic fauna, including man, to live in a sustainable and healthy environment. - Blogger Rick

Coyotes, Wolves and Cougars Forever is a strong advocate for our native fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and insects--all things indigenous and part of the "Circle"

My longtime friend, Phil Keller lives in Sisters, Oregon, one of the premiere Fly Fishing locales in the USA. Phil turned me on to the NATIVE FISH SOCIETY whose mission stated below is to:
                                         PROTECT AND RESTORE NATIVE, WILD FISH AND THEIR HABITATS IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
Mission Statement of the Native Fish Society:

Our Purpose
The Native Fish Society protects and restores native, wild fish and their habitats in the Pacific Northwest. NFS works with public agencies and governments to get native fish conservation policies implemented and to ensure that native fish policies are indeed followed once implemented.
The Native Fish Society is involved in public policy decisions and promotes scientifically-based solutions to fish management problems. We also encourage the involvement at both the administrative and personal levels by the public by educating them about the beauty, mystery and value of native fish and their environment.

Our Mission
  • To advocate scientifically sound conservation, protection and recovery actions for native fish and their habitats in the Pacific Northwest
  • To monitor and influence public agency management decisions in favor of native fish
  • To produce educational materials on native fish conservation through scientific reports, newsletters, action alerts, and the media
  • To inventory and monitor the status and health of native fish populations and improve our understanding of native fish ecosystem function
