It makes me think. Global warming, climate change, shrinking ice caps and rising sea levels are not a problem for Mother Nature. She’s in it for the long haul. It isn’t the Planet that is in peril, it’s us. Nature will always handle what humans can’t.

Environmental and animal rights groups are seeking an injunction in U.S. District Court in Montana to stop the hunts. Judge Donald Molloy is seeing the case, and it’s uncertain how and when he will rule. Earthjustice attorney Doug Honnold sought an an “injunction to stall hunting in both Idaho and Montana as part of a lawsuit seeking to restore protection of the wolves under the Endangered Species Act.”

“Although the gray wolf has rebounded from virtual extinction in the region a mere twenty years ago, wolf populations in the northern Rockies are not yet stable enough to lose these critical protections” according to the Sierra Club.  ”The management of the animals now falls to individual states to implement as they see fit, including hunting and aggressive agency management.”

“The population of gray wolves in the northern Rockies consists of three relatively isolated sub-populations, rather than one genetically connected group.  There are approximately 1,600 individuals and 100 breeding pairs in the region.  Many scientists maintain that this number is not high enough to ensure long-term population viability.” The Sierra Club Website continues,   “Instead, to have a sustainable population, wolves need to number between 2,000 and 5,000 individuals in the northern Rockies.  The state management plans tend to slide backwards, rather than allowing wolf populations to grow naturally.  Idaho, for example, plans to allow the number to be reduced to around 100 individuals, down from approximately 900.”

“In Idaho, the limit is 220 wolves, and in Montana, it would be 75. Members of the Nez Perce tribe in Idaho can kill up to 35 wolves” according to CNN.

The Rally, the nation’s largest RV rally, is rolling out two eco-focused initiatives for 2009 in Albuquerque, N.M., providing RVers the opportunity to celebrate and explore RV travel and “go green” as they visit the Southwest.

New to this year’s event, attendees will be able to tune into “Reality RV” to watch and learn as Brian Brawdy, a well-known spokesman for eco-awareness, and his co-pilot live in his biodiesel-powered Lance Model 1181 camper on The Rally grounds. A former New York police investigator, Brawdy now travels North America full time inspiring individuals to take a proactive role in their lives and the environment. He will be challenged to show how traveling by RV conserves many resources. Cameras installed in his rig will frequently monitor and broadcast Brawdy’s quest on a large outdoor screen.

A recent article from The Christian Science Monitor reported on the recent visit of President Barack Obama’s to Elkhart, Indiana. The article states, “… or that the average RV has the carbon footprint of a Third World nation.” Green RVer Brian Brawdy, “Yet another slam from the media on the RV industry. It is clear they have not done their homework and are oblivious to the RV lifestyle.” Additionally, last October, RVIA released the results of their environmental impact study – Study Shows RV Vacations Leave Smaller Carbon Footprint the Fly/Drive/Hotel Vacations. According to Brawdy, “This reference to the RV industry ranks right up there with McMansion, Frankenbus, Gas Guzzling Behemoth and Road Hog. Obviously some journalists choose to rely on old cliches as opposed to reporting the facts.”
