Dunces With Wolves		18 Apr 2002	Daily Grist
Dunces With Wolves The age-old conflict between wolves and livestock owners is erupting again. Last year, at least 40 farm animals in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming were killed by wolves, which were reintroduced to the American West in the mid-1990s. In response, a significant number of the predators have been killed this year as well (including all 10 wolves from the Whitehawk pack). Under a federal compr ...

Get Along Little Dogies		25 Mar 2002	Daily Grist
Get Along Little Dogies Yippee-ai-ay. After years of studies and legal actions, ranchers in California's Mojave Desert are being forced to remove cattle herds from almost half a million acres of federal land during the spring and fall, when threatened desert tortoises mate and forage in the area. Grazing cattle can crush tortoises or their burrows, eat their food, and trample the groundcover that protects them from predators ...

The Promised Land Managers		07 Sep 2001	Daily Grist
The Promised Land Managers In a victory for environmentalists, Israel's Supreme Court ruled last week that the Jewish National Fund, well known around the world for its tree-planting efforts in Israel, must now submit its forestry plans for public review. The ruling came on a petition filed by the Israel Union for Environmental Defense. The enviro group charged that the fund has man ...

Ranch Dressing		02 Aug 2001	Daily Grist

Cofounder Jim Winder says some ranchers using the Quivira methods have doubled beef production without damaging the environment.

Howl I saw the best wolves of my generation destroyed by madness	Susan Zakin	20 Jul 2000	Soapbox
Gray days for wolves. Photo: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Protection for the gray wolf, totem animal for the Clinton administration's conservation legacy, is likely to be ratcheted down from endangered to threatened, thanks to a proposal unveiled last week by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Its announcement was a fitting coda to eight years of an administration that we kept wishing would do better. ...

Cattle Prod Why we need to push livestock off public lands	Debra Donahue, Writers on the Range	25 Feb 2000	Soapbox
Whatever might be said of the arid West, it "ain't no cow country." That's what Henry Fonda, playing Wyatt Earp, said of Arizona in John Ford's 1946 film My Darling Clementine. That's also the bottom line of a book I've written, The Western Range Revisited: Removing Livestock from Public Lands to Conserve Native Biodiversity. In it, I conclude that where mean annual precipitati ...

Who Dropped the Green from the GOP? A Republican berates his party for abandoning the environment	Karl Hess, Jr.	11 Jan 2000	Soapbox
Republicans are handing Democrats a green Y2K. So far, GOP presidential contenders have all but conceded the environmental issue to Al Gore and Bill Bradley. Rather than fight for the conservation mantle that was once the GOP's, they seem content to not ask and not tell when it comes to the nation's land, air, water, and wildlife. At best, Republican environmental polic ...
