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

Trophic, Keystone Predators across the USA..............not just in reserves!

Good morning, Rick,

Thank you kindly for the plug. Love the blog, especially the added attention to the collapse of eastern forests, one of the great under-reported catastrophes facing the East Coast.

Why we need wolves and cougars back working their moose and white-tail shepherding magic, now. The East isn't too tamed, or too populated, for the rewilding of our big native predators. If cougars can thrive in the Bay Area and Front Range, and wolves can do it in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Romania's Carpathians, they can sure do it here.

Keep riffing.

Chris
