Opportunities, research gaps, and risks in allogenic ecosystem engineer mimicry
INTRODUCTION With habitat loss driving biodiversity decline (Horváth et al., 2019; Wilcove et al., 1998) and land abandonment providing opportunities for reversing these trends (Brown et al., 2005; Plieninger et al., 2014), restoration is playing an increasing role in biodiversity management (Guan et al., 2019; Young, 2000). Ideally, one would restore both structure and function in anthropogenically disturbed systems (Bradshaw, 1996; Moreno-Mateos et al., 2020).
The salmon diaries: Life before and after Klamath Dam removal
From the river to the lab, looking at the very ear bones of fish, scientists with the University of California, Davis, are playing a key role helping to answer a big dam question: Will it work? Will a diverse population of salmon thrive again once the dams are removed and the Klamath River restored? The answers are important not only for the Klamath but also for dams across the world that have outlived their usefulness.
Removing Dams From Klamath River: A Step Toward Justice For Native Americans
NOTE: Clearing the FOG interviewed Regina Chichizola of Save California’s Salmon about the struggle to win removal of the dams, which resulted after four tribes put their differences aside and led a campaign that took on Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. Listen here. The Klamath River runs over 250 miles (400 kilometers) from southern Oregon to the Pacific Ocean in Northern California.
Revealed: Media Blitz Against Heat Pumps Funded by Gas Lobby Group
An energy trade association that represents and promotes gas boilers and manufacturers is behind a barrage of negative press attacking heat pumps, DeSmog has learned. Over the past two years, the Energy and Utilities Association (EUA) has paid a public affairs firm to generate hundreds of articles and interviews to lobby the UK government on energy policy. The PR campaign subjects heat pumps to intense criticism.
How ‘locally led’ adaptation can help address climate change
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) sixth assessment report made it clear that many adaptation projects around the world are not delivering on the promise to build resilience to climate impacts. Currently, less than 10% of global climate finance is reaching communities directly, restricting the intended beneficiaries to have little or no say over how funds are to be spent. Acknowledgement of this has triggered calls to strengthen “locally led adaptation” (LLA).
What should be saved?
I took large chunks of the weekend — in which I could not do much vigorous work outside for all the Canadian smoke and could not write much for all the bugs in this machine — to clean up my house. (I think it’s actually not this machine but something iCloud-derived because it’s affecting my phone also, to a lesser extent.
Removing dams from the Klamath River is a step toward justice for Native Americans in Northern California
Removing dams from the Klamath River is a step toward justice for Native Americans in Northern California. The Klamath River runs over 250 miles (400 kilometers) from southern Oregon to the Pacific Ocean in Northern California. It flows through the steep, rugged Klamath Mountains, past slopes of redwood, fir, tanoak and madrone, and along pebbled beaches where willows shade the river’s edge. Closer to its mouth at Requa, the trees rising above the river are often blanketed in fog.

The Klamath River runs over 250 miles (400 kilometers) from southern Oregon to the Pacific Ocean in Northern California. It flows through the steep, rugged Klamath Mountains, past slopes of redwood, fir, tanoak and madrone, and along pebbled beaches where willows shade the river’s edge. Closer to its mouth at Requa, the trees rising above the river are often blanketed in fog. The Klamath is central to the worldviews, history and identity of several Native nations.
