Sicilianews24.it: Alannah Hurley, vincitrice del Goldman Prize, combatte contro Pebble Mine con amore e determinazione.

Premiato l’impegno di Alannah Acaq Hurley contro Pebble Mine
Alannah Acaq Hurley, direttrice esecutiva delle United Tribes of Bristol Bay, ha ricevuto il Goldman Environmental Prize per il suo operato nella lotta contro quello che sarebbe diventato il più grande cantiere minerario a cielo aperto del Nord America, conosciuto come Pebble Mine. Questa miniera, proposta nel 2001, è stata bocciata nel 2023 dalla Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) per il suo alto rischio per la ricca pesca salmonicola di Bristol Bay, situata nel sud-est dell’Alaska. Quest’anno, il Dipartimento di Giustizia ha ulteriormente supportato il veto in tribunale.
In un’intervista con Mongabay, Hurley ha parlato del percorso lungo e tortuoso intrapreso insieme alla coalizione delle United Tribes of Bristol Bay per fermare Pebble, sottolineando anche le sfide che li attendono mentre la battaglia si sposta in aula e mentre UTBB cerca di ottenere protezioni più ampie per il bacino idrico di Bristol Bay.

Alannah Acaq Hurley Awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize for Her Work Against Pebble Mine

Alannah Acaq Hurley, executive director of the United Tribes of Bristol Bay, received the Goldman Environmental Prize for her work in fighting what would have become the largest open-pit mine in North America, known as Pebble Mine. This mine, proposed in 2001, was rejected in 2023 by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) due to its high risk to the rich salmon fishery of Bristol Bay, located in Southeast Alaska. This year, the Department of Justice further supported the veto in court.

In an interview with Mongabay, Hurley discussed the long and winding path taken together with the coalition of the United Tribes of Bristol Bay to stop Pebble, also highlighting the challenges that await them as the battle moves to court and as UTBB seeks broader protections for the Bristol Bay watershed.

@Cyanocitta The California quail Callipepla californica is an interesting and visually #appealing #bird of the #Galliformes, as visible in this photo. It is originally distributed along the west coast of #NorthAmerica, but also occurs as a #neozoan in South America, Australia or Corsica. These birds are ground-nesting and mostly #grounddwellers, but #roost in trees. B. Andrews et al. (2023) discuss the #invasive history in #Chile and #Argentina.

The California Quail (Callipepla californica) in Chile and Argentina: introduction history, current distribution, and biological features - Revista Chilena de Historia Natural

Background Little is known about the California Quail (Callipepla californica) as an invader in Chile and Argentina. Our goal was to review the history of its introduction and to provide updated information on its spread and current geographic distribution in those two neighboring countries, together with information on its body measurements (weight, wing length, and tail length), diet (granivory, frugivory), parasitism (endo and ecto), and other interspecific interactions (competition and predation), including hunting by humans. Methods and result We conducted a selective review of the history of introduction, distributional records, and biological features of C. californica, as recorded in mainstream journals, landmark monographs and books, and internet sources. We also measured specimens collected in central Chile and analyzed their stomach contents. We report that the California Quail was first introduced to Chile in 1864, and it now spans ca. 2,800 km in the country. From stocks in Chile, this bird was back-introduced to California (USA), and also introduced to Argentina in the 1920s, now spanning ca. 1,400 km in the country. It is currently abundant and legally hunted in both countries. In Chile, its non-breeding diet is strongly granivorous. In Argentina it feeds similarly. In Chile, endoparasites are three species of nematodes, one of cestodes, and two of coccidian protozoans; ectoparasites are three species of hard ticks, one of mites, and two of chewing lice. No such data are available from Argentina. In Chile, combining autumn and winter samples we obtained mean weights of 194.4 (± 9.0 SD) g for 21 adult males and of 183.9 (± 14.3 SD) g for 10 adult females, figures similar to those reported for C. c. brunnescens in California (USA), which we suspect is the subspecies now spread over in Chile and Argentina. Discussion We propose that interesting scientific opportunities are being missed regarding the population genetics of a species with introductions and back-introductions that may have left founding effects and genetic bottlenecks in Chile and Argentina, and perhaps some peculiar “Chilean” genetic markers among California (USA) populations. We also raise the question whether this introduced species may be deemed invasive, calling for research to determine its impact in its new environment.

Despite Quebecers paying among the highest fuel prices in North America, some think the federal government's gas tax reprieve is a terrible idea.
