Number of species considered threatened with extinction grows by 2,000 from 2022

Michigan, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

Atlantic salmon isn’t yet threatened with extinction, but its population dropped by nearly a quarter from 2006 to 2020, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which tracks biodiversity around the globe, said recently.
It’s now considered near threatened. They live in fewer places and face human-created hazards like dams and water pollution. Climate change is making it harder for the fish to find food and easier for alien species to compete, according to the group.

Home Page News, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin /

Two men killed about 3,600 birds, including bald and golden eagles, during a “killing spree” on Montana’s Flathead Indian Reservation and elsewhere, then sold eagle parts on a black market that has been a long-running problem for U.S. wildlife officials, a federal grand jury indictment says.
The men worked with others to hunt and kill the birds, according to the indictment, and in at least one instance used a dead deer to lure in an eagle that was shot.

Michigan, National News, News /

Prosecutors have charged a Michigan conservation officer in connection with a campground shooting that left one person wounded.
Ryan Cox, 22, was charged last week in Mecosta County with one count of felony assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder and a firearm violation, according to a news release from the state attorney general’s office. Both charges are felonies. The assault count carries a maximum 10-year prison term.

Release of gray wolves in Colorado in coming weeks stokes political tensions

Home Page News, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin /

Wildlife officials plan to release gray wolves in Colorado in coming weeks, at the behest of urban voters and to the dismay of rural residents who don’t want the predators but have waning influence in the Democratic-led state.
The most ambitious wolf reintroduction effort in the U.S. in almost three decades marks a sharp departure from aggressive efforts by Republican-led states to cull wolf packs.

Maine, Massachusetts weigh Sunday hunting options

Hunting, National Hunting, National News, New York, News /

Some states are steadily chipping away at longstanding bans on Sunday hunting, and there’s a push to overturn the laws in Maine and Massachusetts, the final two states with full bans.
Maine’s highest court is considering a lawsuit asking whether the state’s 19th century law, which prevents hunting big game animals such as deer, moose and turkeys on Sundays, is necessary. In Massachusetts, where hunters are also lobbying for Sunday hunting rights, there is a renewed effort to change state laws forbidding the practice.

Judge issues $120 million order in Michigan’s Edenville Dam case for environmental damage after structure failed

Michigan, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

The former owner of a Michigan dam is on the hook for roughly $120 million sought by the state for environmental damage when the structure failed after days of rain in 2020, a judge said. But it’s not known how the state will ever collect: Lee Mueller has filed for bankruptcy protection in Nevada.
“There isn’t that kind of money anywhere,” Mueller’s attorney, Troy Fox, said.

Wildlife officials across the Great Lakes are looking for spies to take on an almost impossible mission: stop the spread of Asian carp.
Over the past five years, agencies such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Minnesota DNR have employed a new seek-and-destroy strategy that uses turncoat carp to lead them to the fish’s hot spot hideouts.
