Mind-boggling investigation by @highcountrynews & @grist finds at least 5 tribal nations are paying states for access to more than 57,700 acres within their own reservation borders. Part of a much larger problem of state trust lands on Indian reservations: https://t.co/ucpsCHfanz

Last week I checked a handful of trail cameras in a few Sky Islands in southern Arizona & was dumbfounded to find a beautiful wild ocelot on one of them.

For the safety of this endangered & elegant cat I won’t be disclosing the location at this time.

One reason I am still on SM, is learning the different ways that people, corporations and governments put nature and the environment last. I did not know that that artificial turf was a thing except for major sports arenas.
