Four northern white rhinos flown

Four of only eight remaining northern white rhinos have been transported from a zoo in the Czech Republic to a Kenyan game park in an attempt to save the subspecies. The two males and two females were flown to the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, 300km (180 miles) north of the capital, where, it is hoped, they will reproduce something they have refused to do in captivity. The objective is to get as many offspring as you can from the females at least one calf out of each within two years, said Rob Brett, the director of Fauna and Flora International.

Bisti : MNP Walks the Earfs

bisti.jpg

Would you expect to find a duck-billed dinosaur in the desert? Well, welcome to the Bisti Wilderness. The barren and seemimgly lifeless landscape found today is vastly different than the swampy lush vegetation in which huge dinosaurs roamed millions of years ago.

bisti2.jpg

As the inland seas retreated to the north, the coastal swamps and succeeding forest parks and meadowlands of northwest New Mexico disappeared under the advancing river flood plains. Within these sediments lie the buried remains of the rich animal life that lived there. Ancient animal life is represented by isolated teeth and bones of fish, turtles, lizards, mammals, and dinosaurs, who at their zenith dominated the other life forms. These treasures of the past await explorers willing to brave this badlands wilderness.

This 3946 acre area is now known as the Bisti Wilderness. It was designated by Congress in the San Juan Basin Wilderness Protection Act of 1984. Bisti, translated from the Navajo language, means badlands and is commonly pronounced (Bis-tie) in English and (Bis-ta-hi) in the Navajo language. [LINK]

Approach Roads: Five miles along the entrance track, the grassy plain is replaced quite abruptly by a multi-colored eroded landscape of small clayish hills, shallow ravines, and strange rock formations. The scene is a vivid mixture of red, grey, orange and brown that stretches for many miles. The track passes a large area suitable for parking, then crosses a dry sandy wash and continues alongside the badlands for ca 3 miles before rejoining NM 371. However, the road was fenced off shortly after the wash when I visited, a barrier which looked quite permanent. The far end of the track is actually the official entrance to the badlands, not that there is much difference in scenery or facilities. Several similar un-signposted tracks cross the sandy hills at the south edge of the formations, around a seasonal drainage known as the De-na-zin Wash. A ten mile drive along one such bumpy track leads to the much larger De-na-zin wilderness equally colorful and even more remote, although partially covered with vegetation. [LINK]

eat local: Our guide to subscription farms.

botanicall.JPG

HEADLINES TOUT ORGANICS as the fastest-growing sector in agriculture, but with high-volume stores like Wal-Mart and Target getting in on the game, demand is outpacing supply. It’s entirely likely that store shelves marked "organic" are filled with produce from industrial farms or China, Mexico, and other foreign sources, rather than the small-scale regional family farms the label conjures.

Along with farmers markets, the best way to support the little guy remains community-supported agriculture, or CSAs, through which you can buy a "share" in local independent farms. In exchange you get weekly deliveries of seasonal fruits and veggies throughout the summer and into the fall; orders typically range from half to three-quarters of a bushel. Most farms encourage members to volunteer on the premises as well, which is a good way to learn how your food is grown and develop an appreciation for how it gets to your dinner table. Some CSAs listed below are USDA-certified organic (or currently wending their way through the three-year certification process), but most use undocumented organic growing methods described as "sustainable." Most don’t deliver directly to your home, instead using neighborhood drop-off points that include farmers markets, businesses, or private homes. (Neighborhoods are picked based on demand, so speak up if yours isn’t listed and maybe it will be.) Some farms that follow may augment their harvest with food from other producers; we’ve also included a few providers, like Home Grown Wisconsin, that consolidate products from multiple local sources.
