Just wanna say, Monga Bay is an incredible publication that doesn't get enough attention. As someone who follows a lot of environmental news, they routinely cover important topics and do original journalism on stories I hear nowhere else. Their YouTube channel is full of extremely high quality videos that often get less than 2k views. I would highly recommend checking them out<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@MongabayTV/videos" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/@MongabayTV/videos</a><p>Here's a few of my favorites:<p>- <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2rfy9HkzSs" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2rfy9HkzSs</a><p>- <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZEkt4Ph41M" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZEkt4Ph41M</a><p>- <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynXNzOUI7Xw" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynXNzOUI7Xw</a><p>- <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMeui4P6urY" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMeui4P6urY</a>
For one moment there I thought Amazon had done a good thing!
Pet peeve: companies that appropriate a dictionary term for their name, e.g. Apple, Google (& Alphabet), Amazon, Oracle. It's really not too hard to create a new name for your company, e.g. Microsoft, Facebook and Nvidia.
same - I was like "headline reads like PR but I guess it's good..." reminder to self: there was an Amazon before the bald bookseller
I had the exact same reaction for a moment. But no, of course not.
I thought for a moment this was some kind of reference to "no more destroyed Amazon Ground trailers on underpasses"...
We just had our first bear crossing on a wildlife here in the Northwest.<p><a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/first-black-bear-uses-the-snoqualmie-pass-i-90-animal-bridge/" rel="nofollow">https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/first-black-bear-u...</a><p>I know these things are more complicated than they seem at first, but whenever these stories surface, I immediately go to an idealistic childhood cartoon land where we have a prime directive that tells us to go forth(!) and watch out for each other!
I remember reading that back in the day North America used to have more trees and dense vegetation that squirrels rarely touched the ground since that was more dangerous for them, so they would use the trees like highways.
California would find a much more expensive solution that worked far less well. The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing cost an estimated $115M--a total waste of tax payer funds. Bravo to this practical and effective solution.
Whoa that's awesome. I didn't know California had one of those. Keeps animals, humans, and cars safe and looks beautiful too.
This is a solution specifically for arboreal animals, while the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing is explicitly for mountain lions.
