Camera trap surveys in Turkmenistan found an estimated 60–80 endangered Persian leopards living in the country’s nature reserves, including breeding females in the Uly-Balkan Range. Conservationists say the population increase is likely due to improved habitat protections, growing prey populations, and long-term conservation efforts that are helping the species recover.

Libertarians and Libertarianism

I was a little worried, but it turns out with no need. Rationalwiki came through where it counted.

"One of the more pretentious political self-descriptions is “Libertarian.” People think it puts them above the fray. It sounds fashionable, and to the uninitiated, faintly dangerous. Actually, it’s just one more bullshit political philosophy."

—George Carlin
