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

In the first sentence of the press release, there is a link to the letter that shows every single Rep that signed on.  There is no statement beneath their signatures to tell you which states they hail from, but I went through the list myself and determined the following:

CA = 13 (Waxman, Miller, Eshoo, Sanchez, Lee, Farr, Sherman, Capps, Napolitano, Honda, Schiff, McNerney, Chu)
OR = 2 (Defazio and Blumenauer)
PN = 1 (Fitzpatrick)
MA = 5 (Markey, Tierney, McGovern, Tsongas, Keating)
MI = 3 (Levin, Conyers Jr., Peters)
CN = 2 (DeLauro, Himes)
MD = 3 (Van Hollen, Cummings, Sarbanes)
AZ = 3 (Grijalva, Sinema, Barber)
VA = 1 (Moran)
TX = 1 (Doggett)
CO = 2 (DeGette, Polis)

Wow, notice how empty the south is on that list? 1 FL and 1 TX....and in between a ghetto of gun fanatics and unfounded fears. Ever wonder why the red wolf and panther reintroductions go nowhere new? There's your answer.
