U.S. officials propose plan to help the snow-dependent Canada lynx before warming shrinks its habitat

Minnesota, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky /

U.S. officials proposed a $31 million recovery plan for Canada lynx on Friday in a bid to help the snow-dependent wildcat species that scientists say could be wiped out in parts of the contiguous U.S. by the end of the century.
The proposal marks a sharp turnaround from five years ago, when officials in Donald Trump’s presidency said lynx had recovered and no longer needed protection after their numbers had rebounded in some areas.

Steve McComas: The lifespans of fish tell a story

State-endangered herons in Chicago a natural marvel in heart of the city

Featured, Home Page News, Illinois, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

Imagine you are strolling towards Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo. It’s a balmy evening. Though dusk is settling, the park bustles with rush-hour energy.
Suddenly, you notice something unusual is drawing people’s attention. People stop abruptly and look up, pointing into the trees inside LPZ’s fence. You hear excited exclamations: “What is that?” “An owl? Hawk? Penguin?” Suddenly, a large bird flies out from the trees. A person standing by the fence is asked “Do you know what those birds are?” Smiling, the person replies “Yes! They are black-crowned night-herons, a wild bird and state-endangered species. They’ve chosen to nest in this zoo!”
