I Am Deeply Convinced That This Text Is Very Useful For Everyone, And It Makes Sense To Get Acquainted

I am deeply convinced that this text is very useful for everyone, and it makes sense to get acquainted with it. Important information that can destroy someone's stereotype about wolves and understand more about how the world around us works. And the world around us deserves to be understood, if only for our own sake.

Thanks very much to ravensvalley for bringing up this topic!

#Wolves

I need to say a few words here about Wolves and their role in biodiversity. Because I like them, but most of all, they're a must in the wilderness.

Like every time we are standing on the edge of a hiking trail of a National Park, a protected territory, we all must beware of the consequences.

Au contrary to what most people may think of its surface, no matter how large it might be, isn't big enough to sustain a healthy Wolf population over a long term. This large Predator requires a massive home range to find the prey it needs to survive. Studies have shown that all the Wolf packs in Parks must travel outside its boundaries to meet their needs. And these large Canids are also victims of habitat degradation and fragmentation, not to mention deaths of human origin.

And for people who don't know, Wolves are considered as an umbrella species. Which means that efforts to protect it benefit the entire ecosystem, since the Wolf's territory encompasses the territories of many other species with a similar home range.

As for being an apex Predators, Wolves play an important role in biodiversity. Yes, their presence has been scientifically proven to increase the abundance and diversity of plants, mamal's Birds, Amphibiants, and Reptiles. Wolves help to control the amount of Prey on their territory; this prevents an overpopulation of herbivores, which could be detrimental to plant regrowth. Wolves also give a boost to several other animal species by leaving their partially carcasses for scavengers to feed on. Through its influence on the entire food chain and by curbing excessive grazing. So yes, the Wolf is a key species needed to preserve the balance of Ecosystem.

To conclude; Wolves are very wary and will run away from any human they detect through their remarkable senses of hearing and smell - they can sniff out their Prey from more than 2kms away. Several studies have shown that Wolves will try to avoid humans at all costs and flee when approached.

Just to say that all citizens have a responsibility to protect the Wolves.

Muscari or mouse hyacinth. (lat. Muscári)

When I came out into a clearing full of muscari, I decided that I had fallen into a wonderful dream. At such moments, I am even more convinced of how wonderful life is and how I want to live it with dignity🪻

Мускари или мышиный гиацинт (лат. Muscári) Когда я вышла на поляну, полную мускари, то решила, что попала в дивный сон. В такие моменты еще больше убеждаешься в том, как прекрасна жизнь и как хочется прожить её с достоинством🪻

Avocets at Lymington-Keyhaven Nature Reserve, Hampshire 13th April 2024

It was a true pleasure to see so many of these slender, elegant and emblematic waders on our walk here yesterday. I got some of my finest ever views and saw some of the most I ever have at once of one of the key species that captivated me in my early birdwatching days, so one I hold dear, in a wader fest yesterday. Hearing their shrieking calls was a treat also and I felt optimistic thinking of the exciting days ahead where they'll nest and raise their gorgeous chicks.
