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

What if the Wolves ruled our Planet and deemed the human population to just be too large in Wisconsin and therefore decreed that as many as 30+ % of them were to be hunted down and killed come this Fall?...............Murder and genocide would be the outcry!.............And like in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming, Wisconsin officials somehow think it is perfectly fine to keep upping the # of Wolves that can be hunted down and destroyed using some artifcially derived "minimum population target" as rationale for the destruction to come.................Never mind that Wolves that harass and kill livestock can already be removed from the population......................The Biologists that inhabit the Wisconsin Natural Resources Agency look us straight in the face and say we endorse raising the number of wolves that can be killed this Fall by 37% (from 201 last year to a kill target of 275 this year)....................How do we stop this madness?...................Why does President Obama stay silent on this issue while he smilingly endorses other game changing issues like gay marriage?..................Why does he not have his Interior Secretary explain to Americans that hunting Carnivores is not the same as hunting deer?..............That Wolves and top Carnivores effectively help keep our lands healthy and functioning by limiting a buildup of any one creature that could screw with our carbon cycle......................that Wolves and Pumas and Bears each in their own way do not effectively do their ecosystem positive work when we blast them to smithereens and screw with their social networks and reproduction regimines...................President Clinton with all his zaniness had the cajones to step up for public lands and Wolves....................President Obama needs to show some of the same!
