    The native species are depleted due to invasive species. Starlings in particular.

    20ga blasts tend to drive those pests to fools' areas leaving the immediate habitat for native species.

    It isnt just birds. We're in the middle of a mass extinction that is largely human driven; we're the invasive species.

    Oh well. As the prophetic Forrest Gump once observed: defecation occurs

    What about all the roads they build across dams, streams and rivers that stop the fish from the annual migration patterns? There's salmon in Canada that can no longer get to their spawns so they cannot breed, simply because somebody built a road across their small highway.

    Salmon habitat recovery is a big deal in WA. Every year there are dozens of projects to correct past mistakes ....just elevated stream culverts in some cases. And then there is the dam removals on the Olympic peninsula. Long ways to go tho with the Columbia -Snake issues

    and they have tube cannons to shoot them over the dams..

    Same with highways too though they cut the paths of migration animals too then it's like a gazelle trying to cross a river of crocs but it's a deer playing frogger with traffic.

    It's healthy for us to have them. They make me sick too sometimes, but I'd rather that than delude myself into thinking the species has collectively advanced more than it has.

    I saw a thing where they made wildlife corridors under the roads. Don't know why that isn't now a standard thing.

    Probably taxes or something.

    Interestingly the picture of the eagles I posted is from the Conowingo Dam, about ten miles from the Chesapeake Bay. At the dam up to one hundred bald eagles can be seen at a time in November and up to one hundred great blue herons at a time in the winter.

    Unfortunately the American shad can't get past it to migrate north. In 1984 they tried catching the shad and trucking them upstream, that didn't work. In 2000 a fish ladder was installed but the effect has been marginal.
    So good for the birds, bad for the fish.
    In 2001 193,574 shad passed the dam. In 2018 only 6,992.
    They're going to try trucking them again.

    Most all interstate/highway bridges over rivers, railroad tracks, and rural roads double as wildlife corridors. I've seen a few where corridors have been constructed over interstates in places where there were no obstacles to bridge the interstate over.

    Tow it to North Africa, perhaps we can re-fertilise the Sahara Desert.

    The link I put in the climate accelerating thread says Vietnam is already being affected by sea level rising.
