The Wildlife News – Renovation

Dear Subscribers,

Recently, Ralph Maughan, the founder of The Wildlife News, has turned over operations to myself and The Wildlife News will be supported and managed as a project of Sage Steppe Wild.

As you may have noticed, the site is undergoing renovations and is now accessible on mobile devices.

The Wildlife News will continue to be a source for news, analysis and opinion regarding the issues facing our public lands and the wildlife that depends on them.

We look forward to welcoming back authors who have written for us in the past and expanding the field of regular contributors.

As in the past, we will not shy away from complex or difficult topics and look forward to informed, fact-based, civil dialog on the issues that face our public lands and the wildlife that depend on them.

With this new step, I would like to ask you to forward a recent article to friends and associates who you think may be interested in the topics discussed at The Wildlife News and suggest they subscribe to get new articles, directly in their inbox, as they are published.

Jonathan Ratner, Editor

    Thanks Jonathan. I look forward to the new format of The Wildlife News and being able to exchange views on ecology and its implications regarding semi arid sage steppe management. This incredibly important but long abused ecosystem needs our greater attention.

    Curious.

    How does SSW differ from WWP?

    And, why does SSW not include the word “preservation” in its mission statement?

    Yes, very much looking forward to it!

    I want to thank Ralph and everyone involved for the opportunity to come here to discuss and learn about our beloved wildlands and wildlife. It means a lot.

    We’ll miss you Ralph, and best wishes you and thank you for your kind and respectful online conversations with all of us.
