The Yukon Gold Rush also known as the Klondike Gold Rush started in 1896, where a 100,000 people migrated to the Klondike region of Yukon, Canada. This was because gold was discovered there and so people wanted to claim it to get rich.

Animals were used such as dogs, horses, donkeys, mules, goats, and oxen to help with the migration. They carried lots of goods of the living and working supplies.

Dogs were the most important and used animal of the gold rush, they were vital for all three years. The dogs were used to pull the sleds across the dangerous snowy terrain. This included delivering mail and supplies to the camps.

Google Image of the men with the dogs, and a YouTube video I found interesting explaining the Gold Rush.

Christopher Johnson McCandless was an adventurer from America who wanted a nomadic lifestyle, however things ended badly for him.

He travelled across North America, and hitchhiked to Alaska in April 1992. Then he wandered into the wilderness with minimal supplies, wanting to live off the land.

On the 6th of September 1992, moose hunters found the decomposed body of Christopher McCandless. It’s said that he had been dead for 2 weeks, and died of starvation. He was found in a blue rusty bus, with this note attached to the door.

What have I found to be the most effective ways to learn about the wild? 🌿🪵🍁🦁
1/4
 #CumbriaWildlifeMedia
For me, I love watching the David Attenborough documentaries such as ‘Blue Planet’, ‘Life’, and ‘Planet Earth’. I’ve also watched a few episodes of ‘Dynasties’ as well. I find these to be insightful into the animal side of the wild. I like the narration and camerawork too.
2/4
Books are another great way to learn about the wild, both fiction and non-fiction. Whilst growing up, I liked reading books illustrated by Axel Scheffler including Monkey Puzzle and The Snail and Whale. They are fun ways for a child to learn about nature.

What draws people to the wild? 🌿

1/4
 #CumbriaWildlifeMedia
Firstly, let’s start with what the word ‘wild’ means. On Google, it says this. It could also mean someone who is free spirited or crazy.

2/4
I think people are drawn to what they don’t know and want to instinctively find out more, such as the ocean and space. As humans we like to explore, and the wilderness is easy for anyone to discover. A simple walk outside could lead you to a new place, finding new nature.

4 weeks ago on the 4th of March I became aware of a Sparrowhawk looking at me, when I went on a walk with @s2204747 🤍

This is the photograph I took, it was a fair bit away in a tall tree but I’m pleased I managed to capture this moment on camera.

2/4
This was my first time seeing a sparrowhawk, and I found it in the cemetery just before I was about to head home. I did see roe deer as well, but this bird really stood out to me because it’s piercing eyes are looking directly into the camera.

People are generally more outraged by the death of a penguin than the death of a thousand chickens, and here is why I think this.
#CumbriaWildlifeMedia
There are about 136 million chickens killed each day worldwide according to this article, however not many people realise or care about them. This links into the vegan movement, and I stand with this as my sister is vegan and my brother is vegetarian.

I think they care more about a penguin because it looks cute so it has more internal value to them than something they associate with food like a chicken. Here we see so many chickens on display waiting to be eaten. Image

Berger says ‘everywhere animals disappear. Zoos constitute monuments to their own disappearance’.
I partly agree and partly disagree.

#CumbriaWildlifeMedia

In this article, Dr Marc Bekoff states many zoos kill animals. This is because they are unwanted, either due to taking up space, not breedable, too expensive to keep, or ill. Therefore agreeing with Berger's essay that zoos are making animals disappear.
On the other hand, zoos accredited with AZA (Association of Zoos and Aquariums) help endangered and sick animals to survive. They do this through field conservation, captive breeding, and reintroduction programmes.
