My youth pastor used to tell this story about his early work. He was leading a summer camp service, and asked the kids if they knew who had a ringed tail, dextrous hands and a little mask. One tot piped up, "It sounds like a raccoon but I know it must be Jesus."

"Nature isn't fragile," #SciFi writer @jeffvandermeer said tonight @UFLaw in the most genuine, powerful call to to save wild #Florida I've heard in a very long time. "That we haven't wiped all of it out is testament to that." Calling for rewilding, community (and journalism!).
