The male shown in the video above, filmed at Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge, was in the process of gathering nesting material for what usually adds up to a dozen to two dozen nests! It is obvious to me that the male Marsh Wrens at Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge are getting ready for the females to visit their breeding territories.

Afraid that, against millions in investments wildlife may not be an argument enough, I reached for another – the wellbeing of Belgraders, further downstream. And there is only one certain way to protect the lower parts of the city from floods: let the river spread and flood some other area, before it reaches the city.

The government, which is currently lead by the right-wing National Party, has said that the legislation will not open up national parks, world heritage sites, ecological reserves or the like. People, they argue, are more important than bugs, and besides, the money will help pay to protect other conservation land.

It's the largest civil penalty imposed under EU legislation in which wildlife protection is a condition for receiving funds from the EU's Single Farm Payment Scheme. This guy is the third Scottish landowner to have subsidies cut under these regulations. Don't worry. He's a millionaire. He'll be okay.)

Other than a sweeping public lands package in 2019 , there has been little or no progress on the environment or wildlife protection. And each meeting approved NAWCA grants to protect at least 90,000 acres. Once the land is protected, it is habitat that is permanently saved for the benefit of birds and other wildlife.
