Santa Fe’s native animals are running out of time, due to massive development projects, lack of concern for local wild life, and destruction of habitat by a city government which currently cares little or nothing about remaining Nature. Increasing hot temperatures are also creating hardship for prairie dogs and the other wild animals who co-exist with them on remaining open areas within Santa Fe City/County limits.
Just recently, a small colony was decimated in order for Santa Fe to have a Chik-fil-a fast food restaurant. There may be a few survivors, but not for long, due to the habitat destruction.
Also, just recently, a lovely 8 acre treed lot off Rodeo Rd. in Santa Fe was bulldozed, now a barren waste land awaiting construction for apartments–a healthy colony was there, but no more. We do not know if any escaped.Trees, grasses and bushes were bulldozed along with the wild life. Prairie dogs do not exist in a vacuum: with other animals living in symbiosis with them, such as quail, rabbits, snakes, birds, and burrowing owls, also died.
If wild life & animal groups do not help those of us who are willing to step up and fight for these native wild animals, they will suffer and die. Any “Nature” left in the Santa Fe area will be obliterated, with wall to wall tacky developments.
Where are the groups willing to help us meet to the City & County of Santa Fe, to help revise the present, non-enforceable prairie dog ordinance, which is not even currently honored? Where are the groups who are willing to meet with us, and be present at meetings with these local governments? We are hoping that a few groups will step up and provide some support by being present with these city and county entities–before it’s too late. We would appreciate hearing from you!
Is there anyone out there??

Disgusting, and mindless. This from National Geographic probably should go under the climate change thread, but I thought I’d post it here. Who is the mysterious killer? Humanity:

Oops, disgusting and mindless was my comment for this thread. I’m so sick of hearing of prairie dogs destroyed for more and more malls, developments, and fast-food places. I’m so sick of money uber alles.
On another blog, TWN, I posted an article where the outfitter makes 1.5 million a year, narcissistically trumpeting about man’s dominion over animals, and a self-described modern hunter/gatherer. “Civilization” and technology have moved forward at a rapid pace; but some still have that old killer instinct and nothing to do with it (legally). This man and others like him capitalize on it like parasites.
