Thank you to all of you bloggers for lifting my spirits and giving me hope. Sometimes I feel very alone out here in trying to preserve wild places and wildlife. Thank you to the Wildness Society for all you do.
I grew up in Wyoming. Many of you mention Yellowstone. It is so nice to hear that many of you hold dear the wild places and wildlife. I left Wyoming only to return when I grew older for obvious reasons - it is home. There are many, many places in the world which are beautiful and I only pray that they can be preserved and saved. I have been to a few of those wonderful places - enough to realize we don't have them all here in this state. But mostly I'm so happy to read your blogs that mention all the wild places you hold dear. I pray that you can infect your friends and neighbors with your influence and spread the awareness that our world and the earth should be carefully handled. We should all be good stewards and take care of our world whether we are more educated and well off financially or not. If we speak to others about how we feel soon the idea that taking care of our planet is a good idea and not some novelty idea which will soon go away. Maybe with a new President more people will lift their voices and express a conservationist approach to wild places and wildlife.
Wyoming is not the place it used to be when I was young - a CRUSH of cars and people have changed it. Wyoming is a wild place through out the whole state, or was. Now it is divided by roads - highways and county roads, subdivisions, oil and gas development. Some of the landscape has changed drastically. Travelers kill much of the wildlife who are crossing the roads, in one 12 mile stretch close to 400 animals were hit and killed in one year, that is more that one per day! It keeps the body shop very happy with a constant influx of work.
I am so very thankful that their are wildness areas, National Parks and Forests. I am thankful there are so many of you that also enjoy and want to protect the beauty and the bounty this world has to offer. Share your love of wilderness with someone else, please. So that this idea of preservation and protection can catch on with other people. Thank you Wildness Society for letting me express my thoughts.
Thank you, to all for lifting my spirits and hope
