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

Eastern Coyote(Coywolf) Biologist Jon Way has penned a CARNIVORE CONSERVATION ACT that he is attempting to get the Massachusetts Legislature to take under advisement and pass into law.................The key tenet in this Act is that it would "require the use of current and best available science in wildlife management decisions of carnivores"............ "This involves abandoning principles that support the maximum utilization or killing of carnivores and requires accounting for the ecological importance of carnivores in fully functioning and robust ecosystems and recognizing their innate social and family structures"-------Read the entire ACT by clicking on the link below

Require the use of current and best available science in wildlife management decisions
of carnivores. This involves abandoning principles that support the maximum
utilization or killing of carnivores and requires accounting for the ecological
importance of carnivores in fully functioning and robust ecosystems and recognizing
their innate social and family structures--Jon Way




"If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracles of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it." -----President Lyndon Johnson
