Yellowstone
Ecosystem “Save” List Includes Greater Yellowstone – Alarm Sounded on Whitebark Pine Decline
Published

The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem
is on a new “Top 10” list that focuses
on habitats across the country that
are home to fish, wildlife and plants
at risk of extinction. Each zone on the
list is described as threatened because
of changing climate. They’re not a lost
cause, however. The report describes
conservation actions that could help
keep their species resilient.
The Endangered Species Coalition
issued the report. Derek Goldman,
the Coalition’s Montana-based
Northern Rockies field director,
says they took a long-term view of
habitat health:
“We focused on ecosystems that provide
habitat for lots of endangered species
right now, and other ecosystems
expected to provide refuge as species
try to adapt to global warming.“
For example, whitebark pines are
disappearing from the Greater Yellowstone
Ecosystem. Those trees are
an important food source for many
critters, including grizzlies. They
also play a role in stabilizing mountainsides
and shading snowpack.
The report calls for forest restoration
work and more research to develop
trees resistant to beetle infestations.
Goldman says they based the list
on scientific review and input that
focuses on protection, restoration
and reconnection.
“We looked for
things we can do on the conservation
side to protect really important
habitats for fish, wildlife and plants
that already are on the brink of
extinction.”
California’s Sierra Mountains and
the Arctic Sea Ice Ecosystem are
also featured in the report as areas
that need conservation attention.
The full report, “It’s Getting Hot
Out There: Top 10 Places to Save for
Endangered Species in a Warming
World,” is available at

Feeling worn out from the winter? Feeling bloated, low energy or foggy in the mind? Maybe it’s just time to have a reset and boost your immune system!
It’s that time of year again, to refresh, renew and revitalize!
The community cleanse utilizes the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda in order to help detoxify the body and reboot the digestive system, plus going through the process with a community of others makes it all that much easier to get through it successfully. It is not a time of starvation or deprivation, we eat 3 (or 4) meals each day and take specific herbs to assist the process of releasing toxins. It is designed to be a two-week cleanse, but it can be customized to the length of time that you are able to commit to and dates can be flexible if need be. You are also welcome to do it from a distance if you won’t be in Big Sky this spring!
What it includes: digestive herbal supplement and body oil (specific to your needs), 4 cleansing and rejuvenating herbal formulas, 7 days of the Ayurvedic cleansing food, a booklet of information on the step-by-step process and some recipes, weekly meetings and daily email support through the process.
