[Ben Goldfarb @ben_a_goldfarb]

CROSSINGS has its first official review, and it's a doozy from @KirkusReviews, which bestowed a coveted ⭐️:

"Goldfarb’s follow-up to Eager, his award-winning book on beavers, is another illuminating, witty work... an astonishingly deep pool of wonders."

The definition of #purpose is your why. Why you do what you do.
In Japanese the word is Ikigai “your reason for being”.

The thing that make you wake up everyday. And year after year you still feel “the fire in the belly”. #conservation #roadecology #nature

Roads are permanente scars on the forest. Project Reconecta uses artificial canopy bridges to RECONNECT the forest for arboreal species to increase connectivity and reduce rod mortality.
