How the Trump Administration’s Interpretation of One Word—‘Harm’—Could Gut Habitat Protections for Endangered Species insideclimatenews.org/news/170

Inside Climate News · How the Trump Administration’s Interpretation Over One Word—‘Harm’—Could Gut Habitat Protections for Endangered Species - Inside Climate NewsA proposed rule from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service would change the definition of “harm” to an endangered species, effectively allowing such activities as logging and oil drilling to be approved even if they harm protected plant and animal habitats.

The family farm - years of 'bashing and burning'

"I bashed the trees down and burnt everything … I was a bash and burner."

"It took about 200 years to transform a once wild island into an agricultural powerhouse,
farmers raised to conquer the land; slashing native vegetation to make way for agriculture.Much of King Island's native vegetation has been cleared for farmland."

The presence of empty spots due to a decline in biodiversity is a cause for concern. Some species could even extinct before they might be discovered. When does come the awareness that only making money is not the ultimate option to save our planet? We are guests here and we should also behave as guests...

Dr. Francois Therrien - What really killed the dinosaurs: a look at the latest developments youtu.be/GG_QgRIkMQ8

Thanks to both presenters for their presentations!

River Murray freshwater turtles killed by cars and introduced canines

"The species, known as the vacuum cleaners of the river due to the crucial role they play in protecting the ecosystem, has declined by 91 per cent in 40 years, according to scientific research."

"..Turtles had gone through a "long period of persecution", and were listed as a pest species in the past...There's old newspaper clippings where fishers talk about killing 1,000 turtles in [a number of] months." >>

(1/2) My comment:

I urge you to reject the proposed rule change.

Clearly  "the definition of “harm,” like the other nine verbs in the definition, should be construed to require an “affirmative act[ ] . . . directed immediately and intentionally against a particular animal—not [an] act[ ] or omission[ ] that indirectly and accidentally cause[s] injury to a population of animals.” " is a misleading statment that fails to recognize the ability to predict cause and effect - something scientists, and wildlife biologists, have made great progress in doing with increasing accuracy.

It is clear that ANY act that changes the environment in a way that can reasonably be expected to reduce the "population" of specified animals causes harm.  The fact that such act is committed by entities that know, or should have known, that it "causes injury" of protected species is clear indication of intent.

The #Trump admin proposed a rule change that would prohibit only actions that directly hurt or kill actual animals, not the #habitats they rely on. If finalized, the change could make it easier to #log, #mine & build on #lands that #EndangeredSpecies need to thrive.

"#Habitat loss is the biggest single cause of #extinction & endangered species—it makes sense to address it,"Ctr for Biological Diversity govt affairs dir Brett Hartl said. He called efforts to deny that cause "callous & reckless."

Once you could hear the sound of koalas -
"all you hear is trucks now..."

Destruction of koala habitat through sprawl, roads and dogs

"Almost 2m hectares of forests suitable for koalas have been destroyed since 2011. They are one of more than 2,000 Australian species listed as under threat in what scientists are calling an extinction crisis." >>
