Repopulating Siberia with ice age animals

This is pretty damned cool.

Herbivores keep wild grass short and healthy, sending up fresh shoots through the summer and autumn. Their manure gives crucial nourishment. In winter, the animals trample and flatten the snow that otherwise would insulate the ground from the cold air. That helps prevent the frozen ground, or permafrost, from thawing and releasing powerful greenhouse gases. Grass also reflects more sunlight than forests, a further damper to global warming.

Hello, I am Jesse/Suri/ScatteredShells, and this comment has nothing to do with your post -- though the link & quote sound very interesting so I will read up on it when I am done. :)

I have seen you around in various communities and reading lists of friends, and many of your writings have been helpful & inspirational to me. Today I had a lapse in my social anxiousness combine with remembering that I keep meaning to add your journal, so here I am! You may have seen me posting over at Wildspeak or back on LJ in communities/common friends' lists as either Scatteredshells or nightlove. :)

Hiya, and welcome to my craziness :) I'm glad I've been able to help! I'm just now trying to get back into writing about pagan and shamanic topics, but hey--you can read about my random day to day stuff :P

[scatteredshells]

I am interested in pagan & shamanic topics of course, but also interested in hopefully getting to know you a bit better. :) I can already read much of your pagan & shamanic writings elsewhere! Thank-you for adding me back.

That is awesomesauce! And not even in a Jurassic Park, watch me play god sort of way. (At least, not from the sound of that one article. Who knows, maybe he's all moo-hoo-ha-ha, I'm gonna bring back the brontotherium in private.)
