A Washington state man accused of leading a wildlife trafficking ring on a Native American reservation that killed thousands of eagles and hawks to sell on the black market was sentenced Thursday to nearly four years in prison.

A 50-year-old hunter has been found dead in an apparent brown bear mauling on an island in southeastern Alaska, authorities said Thursday.
Tad Fujioka, of Sitka, was reported overdue Tuesday evening after not returning from a solo daylong hunting trip on heavily forested Baranof Island, Alaska State Troopers said.
America’s golden eagles face a rising threat from a black market for their feathers used in Native American powwows and other ceremonies, according to wildlife officials, researchers and tribal members.
The government’s response has been two-pronged: A crackdown on rings illegally trafficking dead eagles coupled with a longstanding program that lawfully distributes eagle feathers and parts to tribal members.
Steven Haller remembers the look of fear on people’s faces when toxic algae in Lake Erie made it into his community’s water supply 10 years ago, shutting it down for two days.
Since then, Haller, a clinical researcher in the University of Toledo’s department of medicine, has set out to help provide answers about how harmful algal blooms can affect the health of people who live and play nearby.
“I see all of the concern in the faces of people here,” Haller said. “They want the answers. They want to know.”

Jennifer Boehme grew up scouting beaches around her home in St. Petersburg, Florida, for whatever she could find. Rocks, sand dollars, coquina mollusks — anything the ocean gave up.
Now, 40 years later, Boehme wants to launch another treasure hunt. As executive director of the Great Lakes Observing System, she’s leading a campaign to map every meter of the lakes’ bottom.

White swans have an outsize presence in this upstate New York village measuring less than 2 square miles. Residents say it’s hard to imagine Manlius, near Syracuse in Onondaga County, without the European mute swans that have inhabited a pond in the village center for more than 100 years. Until recently, they didn’t have to.
But the killing of one of the village’s swans in 2023 set off a battle with regulators that is forcing Manlius to make a difficult decision about the birds’ future.
