Here is a list of 45 #birds, 22 #mammals, and 30 non-avian #reptiles that are CRITICALLY ENDANGERED due to feral or pet #cats
#invasivespecies #conservation #ornithology #BiodiversityCrisis
pnas.org/doi/pdf/10.107… Image
first off, I'd like to highlight that "feral #cats on islands are responsible for at least 14% global #bird, #mammal, and reptile extinctions and are the principal threat to almost 8% of critically endangered birds, mammals, and reptiles"
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…
AND within our own lifetimes, North America has lost more than one in four of its birds. These are not all critically endangered now, but these trends are pointing to #extinction

“Fisheries official denies coverup allegations over research into endangered B.C. steelhead”

Will comment after blood pressure goes down.

Thanks @winstonszeto for covering this.

So here are some of the related documents with regards to this issue. The reader can decide whether there is a coverup or not.

1) A "deemed refusal" of an ATIP on steelhead where the OIC office indicates the options are to take DFO to Federal Court to get the records. ImageImage
Here is correspondence with another OIC investigator trying to get the RPA. DFO continually sends the investigator the wrong documents. ImageImageImage

Thing I’ve been hearing a lot recently: “Real Time Fish monitoring should dictate when the CVP & SWP export pumps are turned off to protect #endangeredspecies. See fish-pump off...no fish-pump on”.

There is *so* much wrong with this, it will require a #thread to unpack.
2a) Real time monitoring is not individual surveillance. Ecological monitoring will always miss individuals, esp. for rare species. (ie, we call it “sampling” & use statistics).

Monitoring will likely miss rare species & the early/late migrants that populations depend on.
2b) This point — the need to maintain life history diversity to prevent declines — can’t be overstated. Just protecting a narrow slice of these species’ diversity is a recipe for further decline & loss of resilience.

(Thread) A scientist’s view of the urgent need for @GavinNewsom to sign SB#1, written by @sentoniatkins.

Like every scientist concerned with preventing #extinction of #SFBay’s fish species, I want #endangeredspecies management to use only the best available science. 1/
@GavinNewsom @SenToniAtkins I supported then-Secretary @sallyjewell's call to review #endangeredspeciesact safeguards for the Bay’s imperiled fish species. Those reviews were necessary bc endangered fish continued to decline; Jewell wrote that she expected the review to lead to increased protections. 2/
@GavinNewsom @SenToniAtkins @sallyjewell Then science-denialists in the Trump Administration manipulated the scientific process used to develop @NOAAFisheries scientific review and tried to bury the best available science. latimes.com/environment/st…

@realDonaldTrump So WOW you robbed our defense funds to go to an ineffective wall THAT THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS oppose.

Even right-leaning CATO INSTITUTE says a WALL WON"T WORK.

Dems want EFFECTIVE border security - not a humongous waste of money.

cato.org/publications/c…
@realDonaldTrump I wouldn't call a WASTE OF MONEY a victory.

Drug cartels are probably laughing their butts off.
#NoWall
@realDonaldTrump Fiber-optic cable has already been tested, costs a fraction of the $$ needed for a wall, can be installed w/ little ground disturbance to existing walls, allows animals to migrate, & doesn’t cause flooding. Existing wall is already damaging ecosystems.

1) This #CDAN blind looks solved & exposes yet another sicko crime network, this time #SoutheastAsia. It connects several interesting items to #QAnon #crumbs. Don't eat while reading.

2) Starting with the country in question, it's #Laos. This is the Kings Romans Casino in a remote corner of Laos. Matches the #blind. Poverty? Dead poor. Ranks 9 of 10 in the region, and #135 globally. More about the casino...

3) The blind says that "about a decade ago" it was funded. See below, the lease with the government was signed in 2007, that fits. It's a 99 year lease. And the government gets a 20% cut. Ding ding ding.
