A Wilder Northeast

9/30/2014

9 Comments

 
The return of predators in the Northeast will reflect a more fully functional and wild ecosystem, with keystone species fulfilling a dynamic and evolving ecological function in the changing environments that comprise the region. We envision populations of wolves, bears and cougars in numbers that will allow them to re-establish their critical role in nature and ensure their long-term survival.

There are ecological, ethical, and economical reasons for facilitating recovery in the Northeast. We strive to ensure that all stakeholders become active and informed stewards in this mission. Thus, with the introduction of this video, we seek to build positive relationships with residents, organizations, state and federal agencies, and federal legislators in an effort to begin exploring the vital issues that directly impact the future of the wilds in the Northeast.

Thanks to the numerous supporters for the photographs used in this video.

Keen Insights into Carnivore Comebacks ~ A Vision for Recovery in the Northeast

9/29/2014

Current science provides many examples of why keystone predators, such as the wolf, are essential for ecosystem health. Dr. Cristina Eisenberg will explore the rich body of science, beginning with Aldo Leopold’s and Joseph Grinnell’s work in the 1920s, that elucidates the powerful link between wolves and whole food webs and the many ecological benefits predators convey. This science has helped wolves and other predators to be accepted by society and return to North American landscapes from which they long had been missing. Dr. Eisenberg will read from her book, The Carnivore Way: Coexisting with and Conserving North America’s Predators and share stories from her years afield studying wolves. She will share her insights on next steps in conserving and coexisting with wolves and other large predators in America, and her thoughts on the ecological role they could play in places like the Northeast.

Following Dr. Eisenberg’s talk, she will join an expert panel to attendees in an interactive discussion about New York’s natural heritage and the impacts of a wilder Northeast.
