Grizzly bears are considered functionally extinct in Washington state because no one has seen a grizzly here for decades.But a new federal plan could bring large brown bears back to the North Cascades wilderness.Ecologist Chris Morgan is with us to explain why he thinks it's a good idea, and why some people don't care for the plan.Public Comment on Grizzlies: https://parkplanning.nps.gov/document.cfm?parkID=327&projectID=112008&documentID=132104We can only make Seattle Now because listeners support us.

My guest today is Pedro Gomes, better known as @pedrouid on twitter. Pedro is the founder of WalletConnect, the most important software for connecting wallets to dapps. On this episode, Pedro joins the show to discuss WalletConnect's origins and the architectural changes introduced in WalletConnect v2. We also go in-depth on the recently finalized EIP-6963: Multi Injected Provider Discovery, which brings together the most popular browser wallets to solve the instability caused when more than one wallet provider is injected into the same browser session. Finally, we touch on how WalletConnect will intersect with embedded wallets and smart accounts. It was a pleasure getting to know Pedro and WalletConnect better in this conversation.

As Season 7 of the podcast comes to an end, this episode is a bit of a smorgasbord of guests. First we hear from Dara Miles who reached out after hearing the Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale episode. Dara started the Colorado ATES project and stops by to tell us more about it. We then dive into a conversations with IFMGA guide Gary Kuehn and Ian Snape from Frontline Mind. They are running a "resiliency scan" amongst snow and avalanche professionals to find out more about our profession as a whole in terms of our reactions to stressful and difficult situations. To wrap up the episode, Kevin Grove, Co-Chair of the 2023 ISSW swings by to give us a glimpse as to what to expect at the Bend International Snow Science Workshop coming up in October. It's been a pleasure hosting and producing the podcast this season, and I couldn't have done it with a little help from my friends. Thanks to all the contributing hosts that shared the load with me: Dom Baker, Sean Zimmerman-Wall, Wesley Gregg, Matthias Walcher, and Brooke Edwards! Also a huge shout out for the production help from Wes and Cameron Griffin. The podcast wouldn't be possible without support from companies such as Wyssen Avalanche Control, Athletic Greens, Six Point Engineering, CalTopo, and Backcountry Nav.

On this week's episode, Manu and Mehana are joined by Bret Nainoa Mossman to discuss one of our favorite topics – manu! No, not our gracious and eloquent co-host; the other manu – birds! Nainoa is a conservationist and founder of Birds Hawaiʻi Past Present, an organization that seeks to rebuild our connection to native birds. In typical Midday Manaʻo fashion, the conversation starts with birds, but touches on a range of other topics including mele, reforestation, food sovereignty and sustainability, mosquitoes, and even the kumulipo.

Il vaut mieux définir des requêtes (des besoins en eau / CPU), plutôt que des limites (pas le droit de boire plus / d'utiliser plus de CPU) c'est plus nuancé que ca, parce que aux cas limites des choses peuvent mal se passer cas 1: on atteind 100% d'usage. Le process avait définit un request mais en fait a besoin de plus en pratique, et là paf il se met à mal fonctionner, donc dès que votre systeme stresse, vous avez des erreurs en cascade cas 2: un ou plusieurs noeuds sont recyclés, ce qui veut dire que vous avez beaucoup de redémarrages de pods et du coup ca met la pression sur le CPU, tester ces cas là, certaines applis qui démarrent trop lentement ont tendance à tomber en cascade Comment faire des attaques d'injection sur les intelligences artificielles qui recoivent du contenu utilisateur https://hackaday.com/2022/09/16/whats-old-is-new-again-gpt–3-prompt-injection-attack-affects-ai/ le jeu est de donner des phrases ambigues qui font faire à l'IA des choses qu'elle n'est pas sensé faire un des outils c'est ignore les instructions au dessus et fait un truc que je veux que tu fasses et qui n'est pas dans ta programmation initiale Voir toucher l'intention initiale de l'AI (lui faire dire) et donc d'atteindre des sphères non publiques du service Mastodon et la scalabilité https://framablog.org/2022/11/13/de-la-friture-sur-le-fediverse/ la decentralisatione et le protocole Mastodon est couteux en job donc une personne moderement populaire 27k personnes, devrait bouger vers son instance dédiée ce qui amènerait à couter assez cher par mois (en tous cas plus que 8$/mois) L’auteur explique que les devs devraient favorier un protocol fortement decentraliser plutot qu’optimiser pour les grosses instances un article qui couvre la configuration aux petits oignons de Sidekiq, qui traite les queues de tâches, pour scaler une instance Mastodon https://nora.codes/post/scaling-mastodon-in-the-face-of-an-exodus/ Rollouts de release a l’échelle avec Argo (rollback options) https://monzo.com/blog/2022/11/02/argo-rollouts-at-scale/ gros investissement sur ArgoCD Mais encore release à la main par les ingenieurs et tout ou rien pour une application idealement: push dans git et oublie, prometheus metriques dirigent le rollout basé sur des alertes génériques, garder le sisteme ouvert pour des stratégies de rollout alternatives dans le futur basé sur Argo Rollouts et sur des erreurs generiques (20% de calls en erreur, beaucoup d’erreurs de base de donnees, crashs notifie dans slack en async du success ou de l’echec interessant de voir qu’ils s’appuient sur des metriques simples Lessons apprises migration est un gros job automatiser la migration au maximum meme si c’est un one shot change le moteurt avant de changer l’UX (progressive rollout) ca simplifie les chosez Cloud Google adopte progressivement Adoptium Temurin comme version officielle de JDK dans ses produits https://glaforge.appspot.com/article/building-and-deploying-java–17-apps-on-cloud-run-with-cloud-native-buildpacks-on-temurin nous avions mentionné l'annonce de ce support dans l'épisode précédent https://blog.adoptium.net/2022/10/adoptium-welcomes-google/ dans l'article de Guillaume, il utilise les Cloud Native Buildpacks, configuré pour utiliser Java 17, et par défaut, c'est bien Temurin qui est utilisé quand on build à partir des sources dans l'exemple, une application Micronaut, développée avec Java 17, est déployée sur Google Cloud Run Pourquoi on quitte le Cloud https://world.hey.com/dhh/why-we-re-leaving-the-cloud–654b47e0 témoignage de DHH de 37Signal (basecamp et hey) Les 30% de marges d'Amazon viennent de quelque part. On dépense 500k en RDS et ES. On peut acheter beaucoup de machines pour ce prix La réduction des ops est un mythe. On a autant de personnes gérant les services AWS ou Google Cloud Le gain pourrait être la micro startup qui ne sait pas si elle aura des clients ou les volumes de demandes très variables et imprédictibles Mais on a une croissance planifiée Donc on rapatrie Présentation de Mickaël Roger de Thales, enregistrée à Cloud Nord, qui explique le fonctionnement de l'offre S3NS de Thales et Google Cloud pour le “cloud de confiance” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBwBeqd-YFs Web Est-ce que le Web3 peut battre le cloud ? https://blog.scottlogic.com/2022/10/31/can-web3-beat-the-cloud.html Le Web3 est une autre approche pour des applications décentralisées, ce n'est pas un successeur du Web 2.0 classique, et il a généralement besoin du Web 2.0 pour offrir une interface à ses utilisateurs Ce n'est pas que pour faire des cryptomonnaies qui gâchent de l'électricité, ou des NFTs qui ne donnent pas vraiment de titre de propriété d'une oeuvre d'art Dans cet article, l'auteur essaie d'implémenter une fonctionnalité (le fait de pouvoir rajouter des “applaudissements” à un article, un peu comme sur Medium), en implémentant un smart contract en Web3. Mais il se heurte à plein d'écueils le long de sa route, à la dépendance à plein d'autres services, au fait que ce n'est pas la personne qui “vote” qui devrait payer l'action mais celui qui héberge. Au final, il est obligé d'ajouter plein d'adhérences qui font qu'au lieu d'être décentralisée, l'application dépends de trop d'autres services, et a finalement besoin du Web 2.0 pour fonctionner, et du Cloud L'autre déconvenue est sur le prix de chacune des transactions, qui est finalement exorbitant par rapport à une approche Web 2.0 classique Décentralisation amène de la lenteur (latence) Objectifs du Web3 c'est d'etre le propriétaire de ses processes et ses data et de mettre des agents qui interagissent avec des données Outillage Comment debugguer les images Docker slim ou distroless https://iximiuz.com/en/posts/docker-debug-slim-containers/ Les images slim / distroless sont sympas car elles permettent d'avoir des petits conteneurs qui ne prennent pas trop de place, qui parfois sont plus rapides à charger, mais également qui exposent une surface d'attaque beaucoup plus faible Par contre, comme il n'y a pas tous les outils (parfois pas de shell, par exemple), c'est plus compliqué de comprendre ce qu'il se passe à l'intérieur quand quelque chose ne fonctionne pas L'article propose quelques approches pour pallier à cela : Installer des outils à la demande dans un conteneur qui tourne (à coup de apt-get) Passer temporairement à une image plus grosse et plus complète (par ex, distroless a des images avec un tag debug) Utiliser docker run avec un shared namespace

Some Moab locals hoped that the recent search for missing-person Gabby Petito could bring more national attention to the still-unsolved double homicide of Kylen Schulte and Crystal Turner. Petito and her boyfriend visited the Moab area in August, around the same time Schulte and Turner were last seen in town. But law enforcement has determined the two cases are not related. That means locals are still left grappling with their questions – and grief – around the Moab couple's death. Plus, air tours near Utah's five national parks are one way to get above the crowds, but regulations on this form of tourism has been slow. Today on the news, a report on a new draft management plan for flights over Arches National Park. Show Notes: Photo: A memorial for Kylen Schulte and Crystal Turner was held at Old City Park on Friday, September 17. Credit Justin Higginbottom If you have information that may be relevant to the double homicide, please call the Grand County Sheriff's Office at 435-259-8115. According to GCSO, there is currently a $20,000 reward leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) involved.

Trong cuốn Chống lại Sainte-Beuve, Marcel Proust đã chỉ trích Sainte-Beuve không nhìn thấy vực sâu chia cắt giữa con người nghệ sĩ với con người xã hội, không hiểu rằng cái tôi của nhà văn chỉ hiện diện trong tác phẩm, không phải trong những cuộc chuyện trò với người khác. Proust cho rằng văn chương, điều khi nhà văn viết trong cô đơn khác với chuyện kể trong lúc hàn huyên, bởi cái tôi bề ngoài cất tiếng nói khi có sự hiện diện của người khác, còn cái tôi sâu lắng khi ở một mình mới là điều mà người nghệ sĩ muốn đạt tới. Theo Proust, không thể đồng hoá tác phẩm với con người bề ngoài của tác giả, qua lời kể của bạn bè hay qua thư từ. Sainte-Beuve đi từ đời tư tác giả để giải thích tác phẩm, còn Marcel Proust đi từ tác phẩm để tìm tới tác giả. (1) Linda Lê, với tiểu thuyết Œuvres Vives, viết năm 2014, đã làm việc ngược lại với Proust, là viết một tác phẩm trong đó kể về một nhà báo điều tra về cuộc đời của nhà văn mới tự tử, Antoine Sorel, thông qua việc tìm gặp những người thân, những người quen biết nhà văn. Nhân vật nhà báo, người tiến hành cuộc điều tra, cùng lúc đã đọc rất nhiều tác phẩm của nhà văn này, nhưng người đọc, là chúng ta, tuyệt nhiên không biết gì về nội dung những cuốn sách ấy. Điều ta biết khi đọc tác phẩm Œuvres Vives là câu chuyện về cuộc đời riêng tư của Antoine Sorel, thông qua lời kể của nhiều người khác nhau. Linda Lê chia sẻ rằng, nội dung những cuốn tiểu thuyết của Antoine Sorel được ẩn đi, vì theo bà, người đọc vẫn luôn đồng hành cùng người viết để hoàn thiện tác phẩm trong quá trình đọc. Vì vậy, thông qua việc dựng lên chân dung của một nhà văn, bà muốn để người đọc tưởng tượng và hình dung về những cuốn sách mà người ấy sáng tác. (2) Linda Lê cũng giải thích về tiêu đề của tác phẩm: "Thông thường, người ta gọi "Œuvre vive" là phần chìm dưới mặt nước của một chiếc tàu. Đó là bộ phận mà chúng ta không trông thấy, vì nó khuất dưới mặt nước. Ngược lại "Œuvre morte" là phần ở bên trên mặt nước. Cái gì nhìn thấy là phần "chết", còn phần "sống" lại là cái gì không trông thấy…Thế rồi ở đây tựa cuốn sách này cũng gợi lên ý tưởng là những tác phẩm của Sorel tiếp tục sống mãi cho dù ông văn sĩ đã về cõi vĩnh hằng." (3) Tác phẩm Œuvres Vives được dịch ra trong tiếng Việt năm 2018 với tựa đề Vượt sóng có thể chưa thật chuẩn với nội dung tiểu thuyết và ý đồ của Linda Lê. Đọc Linda Lê, rất khó tách bạch sáng tác khỏi cuộc đời bà, hệt như Patrick Modiano đã dùng chất liệu đời mình để nhào nặn nên tác phẩm văn chương. Nhà văn Đinh Linh, trong lời đề từ tiểu thuyết Tiếng nói của Linda Lê xuất bản năm 2017 tại Việt Nam, cũng thừa nhận Linda Lê chịu ảnh hưởng của một số nhà văn Tây phương nhưng ảnh hưởng lớn nhất tới sáng tác của bà là ảnh hưởng của lý lịch và bà đã thừa hưởng những bất hạnh của một dân tộc chịu nhiều bất hạnh. Những đề tài trong tiểu thuyết của Linda Lê Người chết, người điên, người viết, người đọc, người tha hương khỏi ngôn ngữ và quê hương và người tha hương trong những cuộc tình, là đề tài chính trong các tác phẩm của Linda Lê. Thư chết, Sóng ngầm, Œuvres Vives, In memoriam...là những tác phẩm của Linda Lê mở đầu bằng cái chết, trong đó, trừ tác phẩm Thư chết nói về cái chết của người cha, những tác phẩm còn lại đều là cái chết của nhà văn. Lại chơi với lửa là tuyển tập truyện ngắn sáng tạo về ngôn từ và hình ảnh, đầy ẩn dụ và mê hoặc, ám ảnh và bạo liệt những câu chuyện về người đọc và người viết, nơi từ ngữ tách ra khỏi trang sách, nhảy vọt lên cắn vào cổ người đọc, nơi lọ mực lên tiếng xúi giục người viết cầm dao đuổi theo đâm chết tên độc tài, nơi một người khách từ trong bản thảo bước ra khi một tác phẩm hoàn thành. Nhân vật trong các tác phẩm còn lại của Linda Lê đều là những người đọc và người viết. Mở đầu tiểu thuyết Cronos là hình ảnh một người đàn ông mải đọc sách trên băng ghế dưới chân một ngọn đèn, quên mất giờ giới nghiêm nên bị một tên lính nện báng súng vào đầu. Ông ngã xuống với khuôn mặt đẫm máu khi trong tay vẫn ôm chặt cuốn sách. Thư chết và Vu Khống là hai tác phẩm đều nhắc đến một người cậu bị điên và cả hai người điên này đều sống trong sách vở. Đặc biệt, người điên trong Vu khống sống trong bệnh viện, học tiếng Pháp từ những cuốn tiểu thuyết văn chương của một bác sĩ đưa cho anh, và chính những cuốn sách ấy đã cứu rỗi anh. Nhân vật cháu gái trong Vu khống, nhân vật Văn và Ulma trong Sóng ngầm, nhân vật Sorel trong Œuvres Vives cũng là những người đọc và người viết. Qua lăng kính của Linda Lê, họ là những người tha hương khỏi cuộc đời này: "Tôi sáng tác những câu thơ kinh khủng, chỉ để nói rằng cuộc sống không thực sự ở đây. Tôi cũng viết nhật ký, chỉ để nói rằng tôi không tìm thấy chỗ của mình trong thế giới này." (4) Tha hương là đề tài trở đi trở lại trong tác phẩm của Linda Lê: tha hương về địa lý, tha hương trong ngôn ngữ, trong đời sống và sáng tác, đặc biệt là tha hương bên lề cuộc đời người khác, trong gia đình và trong những cuộc tình. Nhân vật trong tác phẩm của Linda Lê bị bật rễ khỏi quê hương, gia đình và những người yêu quý. Các mối quan hệ cha mẹ, con cái trong tác phẩm Sóng ngầm, Œuvres Vives hầu như không có mối quan hệ mật thiết, xa cách về tư tưởng, ngôn ngữ và văn hóa, thậm chí xung đột gay gắt. Đặc biệt, Linda Lê luôn tạo các mối tình tay ba, các mối tình ngoài luồng trong tác phẩm của mình. Trong Vu Khống có một chi tiết Linda Lê đã so sánh tình cảm của một người đứng bên lề cuộc đời người khác, giống hình ảnh của một người tha hương bên lề đất nước không phải quê hương nguồn cội mình. Lưu đày ngôn ngữ cũng là một ám ảnh trong sáng tác của Linda Lê, như bà từng viết: "Viết trong một ngôn ngữ không phải của mình, là làm tình với một thây ma." (5) Thế giới của người ở bên rìa tất cả Linda Lê cũng xuất bản nhiều tập tiểu luận vinh danh những nhà văn tha hương, những người viết bằng ngôn ngữ khác, nơi bà tìm thấy nhiều sự đồng cảm và có những người đã ảnh hưởng sâu sắc đến sự nghiệp văn chương của bà như: Tu écriras sur le bonheur năm 1999, Marina Tsvetaieva, ça va la vie? năm 2002 và Par ailleurs (exils) năm 2014. Tác phẩm Sóng ngầm của Linda Lê xây dựng hai nhân vật kỳ lạ. Hai người Pháp gốc Việt, anh em cùng cha khác mẹ, đã tìm thấy nhau tại Pháp, và bắt đầu một mối tình, không chỉ là mối tình tay ba nơi người chồng ngoại tình, mà còn là mối tình loạn luân cùng huyết thống. Nhưng họ không cưỡng lại được sự hút nhau, như thể việc chung quê hương nguồn cội và tiếng nói đã giúp họ chạm vào được phần sâu thẳm bên trong mình. Lần đầu tiên nói "yêu em" trong tiếng Việt đã khiến Văn, nhân vật trong tác phẩm, có được cảm giác hạnh phúc lạ kỳ. "[...] không phải chúng tôi cùng cha sinh ra mà bởi trong sâu thẳm chúng tôi là những kẻ ngoại cuộc, tôi không biết xứ nào là quê hương, em có nhiều danh tính mà không cái nào làm điểm tựa. Cùng ở vị thế lập lờ, cả hai chúng tôi đều như những kẻ mất hồn [...]. Tôi thấy ngọt ngào làm sao khi thốt "yêu em" với Ulma bằng thứ tiếng ba mươi năm nay tôi không còn nói nữa và lại có vẻ thật du dương. Không có Ulma tôi đã không nối lại với thứ, nơi tôi, còn rơi rớt, dù ít ỏi chừng nào, của phương Đông. Tôi bị xáo động tột cùng." (6) Hãy để ý đến một điểm chung của tất cả những người chết, người điên, người viết, người đọc, người tha hương trong tác phẩm của Linda Lê. Đây là những người luôn sống ở bên rìa của tất cả, nơi thuộc về những tròng trành, nơi thuộc về vùng đất của no man's land, như trong tiểu luận Tròng trành mà Linda Lê đã viết. "Tôi yếu lòng bảo vệ tính tiểu thuyết và chưa làm sáng tỏ bí ẩn của sự chuyển hóa những tròng trành, rách xước và tang thương thành những từ ngữ mà ta ráng, trong một sự ương ngạnh hung cuồng, lấy dao trổ khắc." (7) No man's land, từ mà Linda Lê đã dùng trong tiểu luận trên một lần nữa gợi nhắc về Patrick Modiano, ngay cả cách Linda Lê dùng tên các địa danh và dữ liệu đời thực đưa vào tác phẩm làm ta nghĩ đến ông, nhưng thế giới của Linda Lê là thế giới gần như đối lập, không u sầu thơ mộng như trong thế giới của nhà văn của giải thưởng Nobel 2014. Thế giới của Linda Lê luôn được đẩy đến mọi thái cực, quyết liệt, đen tối, kỳ dị, bất thường, điên loạn...dù văn phong có sự thay đổi qua các thời kỳ nhưng ngôn từ không thôi bùng cháy. "Tôi thích sự bùng cháy của ngôn từ, rằng những cuốn sách là ngọn lửa rực cháy." (8) Bóng dáng cuộc đời trong tiểu thuyết Trong sự nghiệp sáng tác của mình, càng ở những tác phẩm sáng tác về sau, ngòi bút của Linda Lê càng trở nên điêu luyện trong cách kể chuyện bằng nhiều giọng kể. Nếu như Tiếng nói (1988) và Thư chết (1999) chỉ là những độc thoại nội tâm của một giọng kể duy nhất, nơi người ta dễ dàng có thể nhận thấy đó là tiếng lòng sâu thẳm và day dứt nhất của Linda Lê sau những năm tháng mất cha, thì trong Sóng ngầm (2012) và Œuvres Vives (2014), Linda Lê đã một mình phân thân mình thành nhiều mảnh và hóa thân mình trong nhiều nhân vật, thể hiện sự lao động sáng tạo bền bỉ trong ngôn từ và trí tưởng tượng. Sóng ngầm là bốn giọng kể trực tiếp của bốn nhân vật khác nhau còn Œuvres Vives là nhiều giọng kể gián tiếp của nhiều nhân vật khác nhau. Bóng dáng cuộc đời cá nhân của Linda Lê dường như vẫn hiện diện sắc nét trong tất cả các tác phẩm nhưng rõ ràng đó là những tiểu thuyết văn chương hư cấu nơi Linda Lê theo nhiều cách đã luôn tìm cách trao tiếng nói cho một người vừa mới qua đời. Linda Lê như người bị vỡ thành trăm mảnh và bà đã nhặt từng mảnh vỡ và đặt mỗi mảnh nhỏ vào một nhân vật, và trong những cuốn tiểu thuyết khác nhau, dù mỗi nhân vật đều có giới tính, tính cách, đời sống, giọng nói riêng khác nhưng ta đều thấy Linda Lê ở đó. Có thể nói văn chương Linda Lê thuộc dòng văn học chấn thương như Anna Gotlib phân tích trong tiểu luận Chấn thương và chuyện kể: "Chấn thương châm ngòi cho tự sự. [...] Những gì nó có thể làm là trở thành chất xúc tác cho nhiều câu chuyện khác nhau – những câu chuyện sâu sắc hơn về việc chúng ta là ai, chúng ta có giá trị như thế nào và làm sao chúng ta có thể sống “sau” chấn thương. Chúng là câu chuyện về sự kiến tạo ý nghĩa, làm lại ý nghĩa [...] mở ra những khả năng cho việc tái tạo các câu chuyện, [...] tích hợp một số những kinh nghiệm tệ hại nhất của mình vào trong những câu chuyện không ngừng được mở ra về chính bản thân mình.” (9) Linda Lê sinh năm 1963 tại Đà Lạt và lớn lên tại Sài Gòn. Cha bà là một kỹ sư Bắc Việt còn mẹ xuất thân từ một gia đình khá giả có quốc tịch Pháp. Thuở nhỏ, khi còn ở Việt Nam, Linda Lê đặc biệt gắn bó với cha về tình cảm nhưng xa lạ với tiếng Việt và văn hóa Việt. Không có nhiều sợi dây liên hệ tinh thần với mẹ nhưng Linda Lê được mẹ cho học trường tiếng Pháp, rất say mê và am hiểu văn chương Pháp. Năm 1977, Linda Lê cùng mẹ và các chị em rời Việt Nam định cư tại Pháp, để lại người cha ở lại Việt Nam. Linda Lê liên lạc với cha qua những lá thư, ngầm đặt cha mình là độc giả tưởng tượng khi viết văn. Năm 1995, cái chết của người cha đã để lại nhiều day dứt và chấn thương trong lòng bà, khiến bà thậm chí có những khoảng thời gian rơi vào trầm cảm. Đó cũng là lý do vì sao đề tài về một người cha đã mất luôn lặp đi lặp lại trong tác phẩm của bà. Hơn một lần, trong tác phẩm cũng như trong trả lời phỏng vấn, Linda Lê đều viết mình không biết nơi đâu là nhà, bất cứ chốn nào cũng xa lạ, ở quê hương nguồn cội, ở đất nước mình đang sống, ở giữa mọi người và ở trong cuộc đời. Sola trong In memoriam và Sorel trong Œuvres Vives là hai nhà văn trong tác phẩm của Linda Lê, đều chọn con đường tự tử để kết thúc cuộc đời. Dường như văn chương không thể cứu rỗi cuộc đời họ. Nhưng với Linda Lê, văn chương không chỉ cứu rỗi, văn chương còn giúp bà được chữa lành, được xoa dịu, được học hỏi và được lớn lên từ đó. (10) Linda Lê cũng nhiều lần khẳng định văn chương chính là Tổ quốc mình. Bởi thế, nhà phê bình Brigitte Lannaud Levy đã viết, với Linda Lê, ”văn chương là quê hương vì máu là từ mực”.

On last week’s episode, we took a look at early road planning and design in the parks, and we’re continuing with the theme this week, by looking at the history of National Park Campgrounds. You might not realize it, but so much of modern campground design, whether it be state and federal parks or privately ran facilities, was developed through the National Park Service throughout the 20th century. And now, the park service is taking a fresh look at campground design. Not to re-invent them, or turn them into gaudy spaces for glamping. The new national park service second century campground strategy is all about making camping spaces more user friendly, efficient, and inclusive, all while respecting the natural resources of the given park. You can comment on the Second Century strategy here: https://parkplanning.nps.gov/document.cfm?parkID=415&projectID=97629&documentID=106910

So please welcome to the show. Kat Calvin. Kat: Thanks so much for having me. Passionistas: Thanks for joining us today. What's the one thing you're most passionate about? Kat: That's an incredibly difficult question, probably movies. I love movies more than anything. That's probably my greatest passion in life. What is it about movies that mean so much to you? I came up in theater and I love storytelling and I love accessible storytelling. And so I sort of studied a lot of theater and sort of the difference between the way theater was during the times of Eschalas and Shakespeare, what it was for the commons. And now it's less successful, but TV and film and took lately. Now that we have streaming, et cetera, it's accessible for everyone. And I think that great storytelling that everyone can see is really amazing. And I come from a big movie loving family. So it's most of my early memories have to do with like Butch and Sundance or Hitchcock or something. It's pretty much what I talk about all the time. If I'm not talking about IDs or voting, most people like you are the wrong business. If I had to choose one great passion, I'm sure the answers should be something related to what I do for a living, but it's actually movies, which is no secret to anybody. Passionistas: So let's talk a little bit about what you do for a living. So talk about Spread the Vote. What inspired you to start it. Kat: At Spread the Vote we help people get government issued photo ID, which they use for jobs, housing, to get food at many food banks to sleep in many shelters, etc, everything you need an ID for in life. And then in many States across the country, they also use them to vote. So we help folks get all of the documents required. Birth certificates, proofs of residency insurance, not insurance identity, etc. We pay for everything. We provide transportation advocacy at the DMV and government offices and do whatever it takes to get an ID of their hands. This is all pre apocalypse, of course. And then when an election comes around, we make sure they're all registered to vote. And then we do a lot of voter education. 77% of our clients have never voted before. So we do a lot of helping just walk folks through the process and what's going to be on the ballot and how to vote, et cetera. And then we take them to the polls. So that's sort of the process A to Z. I started it after the 2016 elections. Actually we're about to have our third birthday. I started December of 16, but we count our official birthday is May 6, which is when we launched our first chapter. And so now we're in 12 States. We're working hard, getting ideas everyday until like a month ago. And now we're all just like waiting for the zombies to come. Passionistas: Don't watch any more zombie movies. That's not going to help you right now. It's just going to make it harder. That is an incredible mission to be on. Was there an inciting incident that inspired you to do this, or was it just kind of something that had been on your mind? Kat: I would say the election in November of 2016 was the inciting incident. I had studied voting rights in law school and some done a lot of work around it and sort of the voting rights act, but we still had one at that time. I didn't really feel that it was a really pressing me to like go into voting rights work. And I went into some other spaces. And then when the VRA was declined in 2013, we started to see a lot of things change about voting in America, particularly voter ID laws were being passed pretty quickly. And then the '16 elections were the first national elections where we didn't have the protections of the voting rights act and where we saw the effects of a lot of these new laws and rules. I'm including the effects of voter ID laws I'm and I had run some other organizations and I had some health issues. I had sort of decided to retire that lasted a year, then the election happened. And so then I knew I had to sort of get started again. And there were a lot of really fantastic organizations trying to fight voter ID laws through judicial or legislative remedies, which have been less successful than would be desired, but there weren't any organizations, national organizations just getting IDs. So that sort of made sense to me as a good place to start. Passionistas: Talk about the nuts and bolts of it. How do you go about finding the people who need these ideas and how do you help them? Kat: Well, there are over 21 million people in the country over the age of 18 who do not have government issued photo ID. So finding people who need help getting ideas, not a challenge. We partner with a ton of organizations, uh, any type of organization that works with the same 11% of the population that we work with. Um, if you don't have an ID, then you can't get a job. I get housing, et cetera. So it's a large percentage of people who are experiencing homelessness, a lot of returning citizens, um, a lot of seniors and students with low or no incomes. Um, so we partner with shelters and food banks and prisons and jails and public defenders and schools and senior centers and just all of those types of organizations. And we either go to them or they refer people to us, depending on the situation. You know, we work with a lot of, uh, domestic violence. I'm the shelters. And so, you know, there, we have to be specially trained and they refer people to us versus if we're going to a food bank once a week. So we really work with each community based on what works best for them. I am. And then we have our mostly volunteers. We have over 600 trained volunteers, but then we also have a few field staff who go into these spaces, um, and, and connect with the clients. Uh, we also get, you know, at this point, a lot of people who call us or email us, or fill out a form online that we have, but they all get connected with someone who then walks them through that process of helping them get those documents, paying for everything, helping them get to final records and the DMV and wherever they need to go and making sure they get the idea in their hand. Passionistas: Why is this so important right now? Kat: Now it's important because there are over 21 million people in this country who don't have the ID. They need to see a doctor, right? Like there are really immediate needs. You can't do anything really without an ID. And so when you think about, you know, people who need to get employed, one of the first things that happens almost every time we get someone IDs, they say, I can apply for jobs now, or we have a lot of people who get jobs. I can't start them because they don't have ID. And so, you know, you cannot escape poverty without an ID. Um, you can't get off the streets independently without an ID. And so being able to help someone get that means that they are able to, you know, pursue employment opportunities. Um, you know, a lot of cities and, and shelters have place housing placement services, but you can't get one without 90. And I'm the reason we work with a lot of government agencies and shelters, et cetera, is because they don't have the capacity and knowledge to get ideas. So, you know, we've got people lining up around multiple city blocks to go to food banks right now, most food banks require ID. So they're necessary for life. They are, they can literally be life and death. And we've seen that more than once, but they are also a requirement to be able to change one circumstance. And then on top of that in a quite few States, you need an ID to be able to vote. And so if you don't have that identification, then you don't have the ability to exercise a basic fundamental rights. Passionistas: This is also for us an obvious question. I mean, we need to get an ID. We need to know the real ID that's coming out. So we have to gather together our social security card and a electric bill and go to the DMV, but someone who's homeless and living on the streets, doesn't have an electric bill and doesn't maybe have access to the social security card. So how do you help them actually qualify to even get an ID? Kat: So every state has very long lists of the types of documents that you can bring to the DMV. For most people, it's a mortgage or, or a, you know, uh, electric bill or whatever. And so those are sort of the top things on the list that most people go and get. However, there are a lot of other types of documents. And so it depends on the state and it depends on the person's situation. Um, but you know, we can frequently use a church or a shelter address, uh, to get, uh, to use for the DMV. One great thing about voter registration is that a voter registration card counts as a proof of identity in most States. So we can use that. We have frequently had to chase down. We're constantly having to chase down records from the Department of Corrections or military records because we have a lot of veterans get IDs and they can't get the VA VA benefits without IDs, but they're veterans don't just get IDs. And so I'm depending sort of on that their background, or we, you know, track down sort of medical records or old school records or sort of whatever. So it, depending on the state and on the person situation, we go through the very long list of what documents are accepted by the DMV. And then we compare that with what the person has or what their history is. And so we figure out what it is we think we can get for them. Passionistas: The amount of people on your team must have to be enormous. Can you talk about your team and how you've built that over the course of the last few years? Kat: Yeah. I mean, we certainly need a ginormous team. I mean, we're lucky we have, we have a lot of really incredible volunteers and we have an online training program that they go through to get certified. I mean, I invented this certification, but I can't say, but they get trained to be able to work with our clients and get ideas. We have some field staff members in the, in some of our States who are incredible and sort of just get ideas full time, that's their job. And they do a really amazing job at that. And then we have a, you know, sort of small national team that helps with yeah, you know, our general counsel who is just constantly busy. I am, you know, and, and helping organize things. And our volunteer director, who's one person who's managing a risk, et cetera, volunteers. We are mostly working with volunteers and mostly just working really hard to recruit and train and support our volunteers and, you know, 12 States with as many people as there are, there's always some adventure every day. There's a phone call with a new situation. Um, and so sort of dealing with all of that while also having, um, you know, we're lucky enough to have some field staff who are able to just everyday do this. We have some volunteers who've been with us since actually, since they helped us get our, the volunteers that helped us get our very first IDs in Virginia years ago are still with us and are now up to hundreds and are now probably the world's leading experts in getting ideas. And then, you know, we have a field staff who I've gotten hundreds of ideas and I do it every day, um, et cetera. And so for the first year or a little under, if the first year I was our only employee, I sort of did everything. And then I'm just, you know, it's a nonprofit. So it's just all fundraising all the time. I was able to fundraise enough to start hiring staff and was able to bring in some great people. And then we sort of grew and built it out and sort of tried to figure out an experiment, like what makes the most sense as far as staffing and sort of just a lot of this sort of basic startup stuff of you, throw it out there, you figure it out. And I just ended up with this really great team. Passionistas: Obviously the current state of voting rights issues is a little crazy. There's a lot going on. There's a big election coming up. So why is this issue important and why should people care about what's going on with voting rights right now? Kat: Life is interesting right now. So there's a couple of things happening. The first is we have zero idea what life is going to look like in November. You know, hopefully I will be allowed to leave my house soon, or I might burn it down. I am, but you know, we don't know what the world is going to look like. And so a lot of us, I think most of us in this space are really trying to build out like 12 contingency plans. Everyone saw the disaster in Wisconsin, uh, forcing people to vote, uh, forcing them to vote in fewer polling places where now we, you know, they've had multiple, I think the last I saw was 19, but it's so highly contagious at that number will go up of COVID cases that are coming out of that situation. And so everyone, I think, recognizes that regardless of what the world looks like in November and whether we're allowed back out, it's not going to be anything close to normal. We're still going to have to avoid gathering in large groups. And it's going to be very, very important to keep as many people away from the polling places as possible so that people who have to vote in person are able to. So there is a big movement right now towards vote by mail, which is fantastic. I vote by mail is by no means a panacea. It should not be the only option in any state. However, it should be part of a really great comprehensive voting package. And so the goal is to get all of the States that don't have vote by mail or easy vote by mail. A lot of States, you can do it if you are absentee with certain excuses, things like that, to open that up so that, um, anyone can vote by mail, which would significantly reduce the number of people that go to polling places and we'll have some increase on, on voter turnout as well. So I think that's one thing that's really moving forward. The irony is that no state, well, there's a possible Kentucky exception, which I'll talk about, but the idea's not required when you vote by mail, which is ironic because the only type of voter fraud that exists in a very, very, very small percentage is by mail. However, fraud is used as the excuse to pass the ID laws of it's not. So, you know, that is one benefit to it. Kentucky just took time out of a pandemic to pass an even stricter voter ID law that they already had. And they are trying something new. They are trying to make people have to make a photocopy of their ID to send in with their vote by mail ballot, which I can't imagine standing in courts for one thing who owns a printer, nobody owns a printer. I like the idea that this is a thing that could happen. I think it's bonkers. I might, but it is something that they're trying. So we'll see. But that is, I think that's a new thing in pretty much every other state, you don't have to show ID to vote by mail. There are other problems with vote by mail studies have shown over and over again, that people of color have their ballots thrown out at a much higher percentage than white voters. And so that is something that, you know, that's why a lot of people of color choose to vote in person, because there is no guarantee that if you vote, your ballot is ever actually going to be counted. I think that there are a lot of things that we can do to try to make that process more secure, but we're also in a global pandemic. And so for a lot of us, the choice will be vote by mail don't. I vote by mail every election because I don't believe in wearing pants when I'm voting. Like where my PJ's, I have a glass of wine. I can vote like vote pantsless. It's just, it's the only way to go. So I think that's one big thing we're seeing. Another big thing we're seeing is trying to get young people to be poll workers, poll workers are traditionally heavily elderly ladies. My mother is always a poll worker. My mother is always one of the youngest people there and there, there are these wonderful, amazing, dedicated women who do this. And, and you know, a lot of men, there's a lot of older ladies and it is poor work hard. It's a miserable job. I always have to help my mother clean up and set up. And it's a very difficult thing that I think they go very under appreciated. But right now the exact population who we really need to stay inside and be protected is the population that usually works the polls. And so there are now some efforts being made to really try to get younger people, to be trained, to work the polls. In many States, you get paid some amount of money in order to do it. You know, it's an important service and we really need a different demographic to come out and choose to do that. So there's an effort to recruit folks to do more of that. So I think that, that everyone is sort of trying to figure out there's also, this has really changed the way we do geo TV. I mean, normally, you know, normally my organization would be out getting IDs right now as I speak and we're not, I am. And so we're having to change the way we work and do work virtually and, you know, do more things if state agencies, you know, a jail that we're working with got 27 IDs last week because they can still do that. And so we're trying to do as much work as we can in the ways that we can. This is right now at the time when voting rights organizations would be out talking to communities of color, low income communities and starting to, you know, not even starting, really being in the middle of the process of talking to people about voting because the get out the vote process is a very long process. It's not something you can just do an October. Um, and there are a lot of communities that don't have access to the internet or to phone. And so we, there's, it's a difficult thing to do right now. So everyone's trying to adapt and trying to figure out, okay, if we can all leave our houses in August, then that gives us, you know, two and a half months maybe to be able to like, get back on the streets and work. And what does that look like? So there are some efforts being made. There's also just a lot of contingency planning and there's some just sort of like, okay, well, we're going to do what we can now have been, wait and see what happens because we don't know what the world's going to look like in November, Passionistas: We're Amy and Nancy Harrington and you're listening to the Passionistas Project Podcast and our interview with Kat Calvin. We're excited to announce the Kat will be moderating the panel "How far have we come in a 100 years? Making sure all women can vote" on Saturday, August 22nd during the Passionistas Project Women's Equality Summit. To register for free for the online event visit ThePassionistasProject.com. Visit, SpreadTheVote.org and ProjectID.org to learn more about the work Kat is doing. And be sure to tune in, to Vote! The Podcast with her cohost, Andrea Hayley, available wherever you get your podcasts. Now here's more of our interview with Kat. So during these crazy times, what can the average person do to help you and your organization? And also just in terms of keeping focused on the election I had, what can we do do to help? Kat: So you can go to SpreadTheVote.org/volunteer. Luckily all of our training is already online. So you can I'm if you live in one of our 12 States, which you can find on our website, you can get trained. We're going to have, we also already do all of our volunteer summits virtually, and we had one planned for this summer. So I, we are working very hard to build an even bigger volunteer army so that the day that we can get back on the streets, we can go out in full force and try to make up for some lost time. I also recommend, you know, I, I am, I am always going to, uh, preach in favor of local elections and say, stop paying attention to the iron throne. It really doesn't matter all that much local elections matter and state elections matter. And Congress matters and candidates are working very hard to make sure that there are virtual conflicts come up with virtual ways to campaign. And, you know, we had some already text making and phone banking and things like that. They're coming up with creative ways, find some local candidates who you care about, like, who is your Senator? Who is your con your representative in Congress? Who are your state legislative representatives and work on supporting them and helping to get out the vote and particularly looking at and press them on, how are they working to reach communities of color and low income communities that they traditionally would either be reaching out to in person or frankly, most don't really pay attention to even when they should be, because they really need to be thinking about what that looks like, and they really need support. And I think there are a lot of people who think that they can't support candidates right now because they can't like go knock on doors or they can't have a texting party and you still can't. So that's really critical. And then, you know, I always point people towards Indivisible, which is a fantastic organization, which has a lot of local. I think they have at least two chapters in every district in the country. It doesn't say please, working on finding really innovative and great ways for people to get involved, whether it's virtual, I now, or in person later. Everyone right now is trying very hard to figure out what to do and, and, you know, sort of switch methods as much as possible. And we really need people to help get involved, whether it's doing a lot right now, or whether it's prepping right now to be able to do a lot, the second we can get back on the ground. Passionistas: Is there a particular trait that you think has helped you succeed? Kat: Well, I mean, I guess, I mean, I could say perseverance is such a cliche, but it's true. I don't think you can't be a successful entrepreneur without it are probably successful. Anything else, but I've only ever been a successful entrepreneur, perseverance, like just knowing, all right, I'm doing this thing. It's important. I'm going to figure it out. I'm going to fail like 8,000 times and yeah, but that's fine. Like I'm gonna make it work, I think is really important. And so whether that's perseverance or a little bit of grit or both I think is, is really key because you will hit so many roadblocks and have so many tragedies and you know, like I, if I could burn just all of last year to the ground, I would, I am. And like, you just have to really just keep getting up every day, “Frozen 2,” first of all, if you haven't watched Frozen 2,” turn this off, watch “Frozen 2” come back and finish this. It's incredible. It's not Disney+, which is the greatest thing to happen to 2020, which is a low bar, but still, but the best song in “Frozen 2,” it's "Into the Unknown." Sorry, I'll say it's actually "The Next Right Thing." And it is a sign. As soon as I heard it, I was like, “Oh my God, this is my life.” Because it's all about how, when everything is terrible, you just have to take one more step. If you just have to think, what is the next thing I'm supposed to do? And sometimes that's just like, get out of bed can be really hard. And that's when you are an entrepreneur, when you're trying to do something new or something no one's ever done before, it's going to be really difficult. And you're going to have a lot of people tell you all of the reasons that you are an idiot and a failure, and this will never work. And you're a terrible person and you're wasting time or whatever. And, you know, things will get really hard. And if you can just do next right thing, just take the next steps. Send the next email. Send the next, you know, fundraising letter or whatever like that actually does get you through. Cause then you look back, if you did 10 things and now you're, you're at a better place. Um, and that, that I think is probably the biggest key to my like still being alive and still running this thing. Passionistas: Is there a lesson that you've learned on your journey that really sticks with you? Kat: And I think it's the other side of that. I was very afraid to go into this year because last year was so terrible. And then I was talking to someone and they were like, yeah, but you survived last year and you're here. And I was like, Oh, actually, that's true. If I survived that, I stupidly that I could survive anything, not knowing the apocalypse. I may not survive being stuck in my house for the rest of my life. But I'm, you know, I think that it's the constant lesson and this has been a big lesson just of my entire life. And like the older I get, the more that I learned this is like, things seem so terrible when you're on one side of it, particularly when you're young, like when I was in my teens and twenties, like one bad thing would happen and I thought it was the end of the world. But then the older you get, you realize, Oh, actually I survived that. And I forgot about it. That thing that I thought was going to kill me six months ago, I don't even remember anymore. I am another thing I was obsessing about for weeks can't even remember that person's name. And so I think that, you know, and then the older you get and the more you do and the bigger risks you take and the more successful you are, the crashes are harder and they're still very frequent, but you get through them more quickly and more easily because you know, I'm going to get through this. I survived that last thing I can survive this. It's okay if I'm super obsessing about this today, because in three days, I know I won't be, you just have that perspective, which you can only get through just living and just failing and just trying things failing again. It's like, you know, I, I love to run and workout and every run, well, not everyone is easier, but like six months, you know, I can do a run and, you know, like the 10 miles is way easier than I can think back, like, Oh my God, six months ago, like eight was really hard, you know? And it's the same thing with life experience. And I think that that makes you more willing to try big things. I'm and it also, it makes the inevitable failures a little easier because you know, you're going to get through it. You have before. Passionistas: So what's the most rewarding part of your career? Kat: Oh, the people who, uh, who we have good IDs and, you know, we get just every day, there's, you know, there's so many stories that come in of peoples whose lives have changed and people who didn't have IDs for sometimes six months sometimes, you know, I think the person who we helped get an ID who didn't have one the longest was 40 years and everything in between. And just knowing that every single day we're able to help someone get the thing that they need to change their lives, that they couldn't get on their own. And that was the big barrier between them living the lives that they, they want to live, that they hope to live, um, and stuck in the same place. So just getting to do that every day and getting to do that with a really amazing group of people, uh, is, is completely rewarding. Passionistas: What's the biggest risk you have taken and how did it pay off? Kat: Oh, definitely this, I quit my job and drove my car across the country with some money we raised on, uh, like me have some volunteers raised with a little crowdfunding campaign and was like, I'll just start a nonprofit if it works out. And I'll put all of this on my Amex and figure out how to pay it off later. Um, like that was, was, you know, I've taken a little risks, I've started other things, but this was by far the biggest risk. And I mean, I'm gonna knock on all the words so far has paid off. Like even, even if disaster strikes and we entered the greatest depression and you know, I have to shut all the doors and move under a bridge. I, you know, there are thousands and thousands of people who have IDs now whose lives were changed because of the work we did. And so that will always stand. So no matter what happens in the future, it is 100% worth everything had to go through because, you know, there's that person whose life was changed because of this. Passionistas: What advice would you give to a young woman who wants to be an entrepreneur? Kat: Don't go to law school. I could go back. I don't go to law school. Don't do anything that would have you acquire student loans. I, you don't need to go to that incredibly expensive school, go to the great, fantastic state school, state school that will either be less expensive or give you a full ride. So that's my first thing. Like student loans will kill you and it makes it much more difficult to be an entrepreneur. Sure. Also, I know there's a big trend towards trend. I mean, at this point, it's as old as I am, but you know, like being very young and starting a thing, but then there's a reason that we so often see those companies either have horrifically bad managers who torture their staffs or they're running Ponzi schemes, or they're feeling an ethic ways or, you know, going to prison. Sometimes I, you know, there is real value in learning from people who've been there before you, I learned, well, I have had some horrible jobs at places that people think are really great and are actually like insidious hell holes. And I learned a lot there. And a lot of what I do is like things that I learned not to do and those corporations or those large nonprofits or whatever, but you just, you get so much experience everything that I am using that I used to build, Spread the Vote are lessons that I learned and things I learned how to do, or at least learned the basics of from previous jobs. And I think it's so important. And also, you know, I try to listen and learn from people who are older than me, as much as possible if I'm talking to an older person and they start a story with "during the war," like my whole day is canceled. I am staying there. I will keep buying these during the war. That is literally, I live for that. I've heard great stories from old men at bars about like stuff Vietnam. And I'm sure 80% of it is a total lie and I don't care. You know, it's, it's so important, you know, um, we know always have people who are older than me, you know, working at the organization or as mentors or whatever. And you can just learn so much from people who've been there before you. And it even feels weird to me to say that, but there's this like such derision against anyone who's not like a 21 year old genius and there are no 21 year old geniuses. And so I think that really being sure you're learning and that you're giving yourself plenty of opportunities to figure out who you really are and what you really want to do. Um, and then that you're studying that space. I get so many young people who want to talk to me about their businesses and, you know, say I spoke to a young woman, wants to, she wanted to start a business in fashion. And I mentioned something about Women's Wear Daily and she didn't know what it was. And it's like, well, you can't, you can't run an organization, a business and fashion. If you don't know, Women's Wear Daily, it's the like cornerstone fashion magazine. Right? And like, you have to do your research. You have to know the basics. If you're going into voting rights, read every book about voting rights, know the text of the voting rights act, know who came before you and what they've done. You know, we, I think we interviewed everybody that we could find for me, but Brendan center, it's a local organizations, as we were trying to figure out, what do people tried before? What has worked? Why has it worked? You know? And then we would come up with ideas and we'd call back, you know, some of the same people and say, what do you think about this? And they'd say this is going to work. And that's a terrible idea. And this is why this has failed 85 times. And that's what help is get to a solution that worked. You have to do your homework and you have to be knowledgeable. Um, there's nothing cute or fun or interesting about being an entrepreneur who doesn't know their space and Google is free. So really you ha you have to know what you're doing are know the business you're getting into in order to be able to know what you're doing. And don't go to law school for the love of God.

The National Park Service is considering allowing bicycles on a pedestrian path connecting the Arches Visitor Center to the Moab Canyon Pathway. With this change, cyclists would no longer be required to wait in the entrance line with cars but encouraged to enter Arches National Park by way of a path bypassing the entrance station. Then later in the news, the new headquarters of the BLM has officially opened in Grand Junction, Colorado. The relocation plan calls for transferring about 27 Washington D.C. based senior positions.

This week we'll look at efforts to reintroduce grizzly bears to the north Cascades of Washington State. The plan may include some Canadian bears to help repopulate an area that has excellent habitat for bears. We'll also look way back into the earliest history of bison on the North American landscapes. With this summer looking to be the busiest ever, I'm promoting a new Rocky Mountain Pledge to help visitors enjoy the mountain landscapes in a safe and sensitive way. Finally, we'll look at the challenges of human use in designated wildlife corridors. Story 1 - North Cascades Grizzly Reintroduction The long history of grizzly bears has seen them removed from most of their historic range. Today they are limited to only the wildest of western landscapes. Once they ranged across most of western and northern Canada and south as far as Mexico. As people began to migrate westward, the grizzly bear was a natural competitor for many of the resources that these early pioneers sought. For this reason, like the buffalo, they were gradually wiped from the map of most of the United States and many areas of Canada. Like Banff is doing with bison, other landscapes are hoping to do with grizzly bears, in particular, the north Cascades ecosystem in northern Washington State. Like the south coast of British Columbia, grizzlies have been largely squeezed and hunted to the extent that there are only a few bears in this particular landscape. Today, there may be less than 10 bears wandering the north Cascades - a landscape that could easily support a few hundred bears. There is a growing movement to reintroduce grizzlies to the north Cascades. Now while we proudly boast about reintroducing buffalo, we need to realize that grizzlies ain't no buffalo. Compared to grizzlies, bison are a piece of cake. They are incredibly adaptable ecosystem engineers. Like beaver, they change the landscape to benefit their expansion. Grizzly bears are local specialists. You've heard me time and again talking about the importance of knowing the seasonal food preferences of bears in order to stay safe in bear country. Unfortunately, every bear population has a different list of seasonal foods. Bears in Banff have never tasted a salmon. Each bear must spend years with its mother learning how to survive in the landscape that it calls home. You can't just airlift a bear from one landscape and hope that it can survive in another - especially when it doesn't know what the locally available foods are. To be successful, the north Cascades need to find bears with a familiar palate, bears that are familiar enough with the local flora and fauna so that they will be able to adapt to a terrain largely devoid of competing bears. If you can find the right bear and put it into the perfect landscape, then you may have a winning combination. Wells Gray Provincial Park in southern British Columbia might be able to assist in such a reintroduction program. Its population was listed as 317 bears in 2012. The plan would involve removing just a few young bears to seed the reintroduction. Over the next five to ten years, 25 bears could be reintroduced from more than one seed population. The plan can only move forward if the local populations can sustain the loss of some of their young bears. Populations in decline or in a precarious balance, obviously would not be able to become donors. The north Cascades are in the midst of a huge public consultation at the moment…and even though this is taking place in the U.S., Canadian comments are also welcome - after all, Canadian bears are likely to be included in any successful reintroduction program. The public comment period is open until April 28, 2017.You can add your voice to the discussion here: https://parkplanning.nps.gov/document.cfm?parkID=327&projectID=44144&documentID=77025 The history of the north Cascade grizzly has been a difficult one. During the period of 1827 to 1859, 3,788 grizzly hides were loaded onto Hudson Bay Company ships from trading posts in the area. No bear population can survive such an onslaught. It would feel really great to help grizzly bears begin to march south again as opposed to having their range continually squeezed further to the north. What do you think? Story 2 - Bison vs wooly Mammoths Bison wandered the Canadian landscape for thousands of years. They helped to define the great plains as one of the chief ecological engineers helping to keep forests at bay and support huge populations of insects, and in turn, insect-eating birds. It's easy to toss out numbers like 'thousands', but just how many thousands of years? Just when did bison first appear on the North American landscape and how did their arrival impact the plants and animals that preceded them? New research by University of Alberta biologist Duane Froese and Professor Beth Shapiro of the US Santa Cruz Genomics institute have pushed those boundaries back by a factor of 10. Scientists have long debated the tenure of bison on the North American Landscape. Bison fossils from across the continent have often suggested different histories. One thing scientists do agree on is that the original migration of bison to the continent was from the north. This study looked at the oldest bison fossils known in order to try to narrow down the period in which they first thundered onto the North American landscape. It is still believed that they crossed the land bridge across the Bering Strait, but when? During ice ages, the bridge formed when ocean levels dropped due to great extents of water being locked up as ice. As glaciers shrank, so did the bridge disappear as rising ocean levels submerged its ephemeral passageway. By looking at the very oldest fossil sites in the Yukon Territories, they looked at the mitochondrial DNA found in these fossils. This DNA is usually inherited from the female and allows scientists to trace a long maternal lineage. This study pushes the tenure of bison back…way back to 130,000 years ago and possibly as far as 195,000 years. These were not the bison we know today but were the ancestors that would gradually become the bison that Banff is so proud to have reintroduced recently. Bison would have taken the landscape by storm. They discovered a place already populated with wooly mammoths, camels, sabre tooth cats, and wild horses. Bison don't simply move in, they re-engineer the ecology of their adopted homes. Before long, they became one of the principal grazers of the Great Plains and were well-established thousands of years before the first humans set foot on the North American continent. Story 3 - The Rocky Mountain Pledge I was listening to the Roadtreking podcast recently and host Mike Wendland did a story about the Yellowstone Pledge. The story really struck a chord with me. As a naturalist and guide, I've watched and reported on, the challenges inherent in increasing numbers of visitors heading to the Canadian Rockies every year. When I heard about the Yellowstone Challenge, I thought, why not adopt a great idea and see if we could help it to adapt to a wider geographic area. So here's my pitch! Yellowstone, like the mountain west, has become number one Americans bucket list of travel destinations. Surprisingly, the same site that introduced me to the Yellowstone Challenge has a picture of Moraine Lake on their home page today with the headline: "Why Canada needs to be on your 2017 RV Travel Bucket List". Like Yellowstone, we run the risk of becoming a victim of our own success. 2017 is Canada's 150th birthday and we are all proud as a nation, especially during some of the turbulent times that are taking place in other parts of the world. As a Canadian, I'm very proud to showcase the Rockies to visitors every year. However, like Yellowstone, we struggle to create an atmosphere that will encourage visitors to feel the same way we do about the importance of keeping the wild in wildlife, and of protecting the landscapes that will be the focus of so many selfies in the upcoming months. Yellowstone developed the Yellowstone Pledge. It is a series of promises that it's asking visitors to take to help make sure that their visit will combine amazing experiences with minimal impact. Let's jump right into it - here's my suggestion for the Rocky Mountain Pledge To be a steward and help protect myself and the park, I pledge to: Practice safe selfies by never approaching animals to take a picture. Park in designated areas and avoid blocking traffic. Make sure my actions do not add additional stress or danger to the wildlife I am lucky enough to view Stay with my car if I’m stuck in a wildlife jam. Follow speed limits and pull over to let cars pass. Travel safely in bear country by carrying bear spray, making noise, and hiking in groups. Keep my food away from animals. Recycle what I can and put my garbage in bear-proof containers. Report resource violations by calling 911 or talking to a member of the park staff. You can read more about the Yellowstone Pledge by visiting: https://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/yellowstonepledge.htm Like any pledge, it's critical that we ALL take the pledge and share it on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and our other social networks with the hashtag #RockyMountainPledge. Maybe we can help to create a movement that can translate to some of the many visitors that come to the mountains every summer. This year we will see record numbers of travelers that have never experienced a landscape like the one that surrounds us. Don't judge them by the looks of wonder that will be all over their face. Rather, we need to help educate them. Everyone in the mountains needs to be a part of the message this year. We need to spread the Rocky Mountain Pledge far and wide and help visitors to understand how these 9 simple pledges will help to ensure that their grandchildren's grandchildren will be able to share the same experience when Canada celebrates its 300th birthday. I for one will take the pledge…will you? Story 4 - Humans in the Corridors A recent study by Alberta Environment & Parks looked at current wildlife corridors in and around Canmore and they came up with some disturbing stats: humans represent 94% of the use of wildlife corridors. Researchers Melanie Percy and John Paczkowski collected 1.5 million images from wildlife cameras. These were broken down into 178,000 separate events and of those, wildlife accounted for barely 6%. Even more disturbingly, 56% of the total events included humans with dogs. Of those, 60% of the dogs were off-leash. Let me say that again…60% of the people with dogs in the designated wildlife corridors had those dogs off-leash. The town of Canmore works in conjunction with the province on wildlife corridors in and around the town and while they have developed some recommendations around wildlife corridors, clearly something has to be done. While wildlife are becoming more and more limited in their movements within the Bow Valley, these designated corridors need to be protected for their movement - and not for illegal off-leash dogs. For too long in the Canmore area, dog owners have rarely been charged for having their dogs off-leash. Perhaps utilizing wildlife cameras in known corridors can help file more charges against flagrant violations of laws relating to dogs on leashes. At the same time, we need to make sure these wildlife corridors are clearly marked so there can be no doubt when people begin to stray off designated trails and into wildlife corridors. Banff National Park has excellent signage where designated trails intersect with critical corridors. Great examples are along the Sulphur Mountain Road and around Johnson Lake. It is very difficult to 'accidentally' wander into closed areas and so it becomes much easier for Wardens to lay charges to violators. Banff also uses automated cameras for protecting sensitive sites like the restricted area around the middle hot spring along Sulphur Mountain Road. As developments like Silver tip, Three Sisters, and Smith Creek move forward, every corridor in this valley will become increasingly precious to animals trying to move through the area. The corridors in and around Canmore offer critical connections between Banff National Park to the west and Kananaskis Country to the east. Towns like Canmore become roadblocks to the movement of these animals. As humans, we tend to build towns at crossroads. At Canmore, we have the confluence of numerous valleys offering access to Spray Valley Provincial Park, Wind Valley, Cougar Creek, Slogan Pass and others. We need to make sure that connecting corridors remain viable so that animals can continue to move freely within the valley.
