The results of the Stanley Park Ecology Society's report on the "Ecological integrity of Stanley Park" recently led the Vancouver Park Board to request staff to report this fall on ways to improve the aquatic ecosystems in Stanley Park, most notably the impacts of the changing habitat at Beaver Lake on its biodiversity.
Coyotes in Nova Scotia: An argument goes awry
About this coyote business. As often happens when country stuff gets caught up in the city media, the argument goes awry. Thus the case, as presented in its skewed way, is that the province is prepared to announce a bounty, although by general agreement they don't work -- the alternative being to do nothing, which won't work either.
That's not the choice, and a bounty -- a payout to anyone who brings in a jaw -- is not what's being contemplated. Rather, it's some form of price support to trappers, a more focused approach.
