RE: New research has found wind farms to fill the ecological niche of an apex predator
If you just posted a picture of the fan-throated lizard, that would have been a great post :) Gorgeous. But, seriously, reminds us not to be arrogant as we come up with 'solutions' for complex problems. I don't want to go all Eastern on you, but we really are part of a whole.
Yeah, it is an amazing lizard. I'm just glad I found a photo of it that I could share legally, since they seem to be pretty rarely photographed compared to most species I have written about in the past.
And you're right, it's nice that we sometimes get a reminder that even the solutions with the best intentions have bigger impacts than we expect them to. But it's also very important to remember that this changing ecosystem pays an enormously small price compared to what it would if they had begun mining for coal in this same region!
