About This Blog
The title of this blog, Living Alongside Wildlife, is a reference to a land ethic suggesting human and wildlife populations can coexist if we respect our natural resources. Our goals should include living alongside wildlife in perpetuity, rather than unsustainable exploitation and wanton killing of these animals. For more about conservation and land ethics, check out the work of Aldo Leopold.
Many of my blogs run in local newspapers as a monthly column. If you feel my writing would be appropriate for your newspaper, I encourage you to contact me.
Goals
When I created this blog I had two primary goals. The first of which was to encourage an appreciation for wildlife that tend to have a bad reputation, primarily amphibians and reptiles. The second goal was to make my research accessible to a general audience. Over time, a third goal manifested itself. Many are generally unfamiliar with the natural history of reptiles; as a result there are a plethora of e-mail forwards containing outlandish stories and photos of these animals. All too often, these e-mails are circulated and accepted as fact. For animals that are already maligned, scary and fabricated stories only serve to perpetuate the myth they are dangerous and malevolent. Perhaps this is no more true than in the case of the giant dead rattlesnakes, wherein a dead rattlesnake is shoved towards the camera and a bogus story is made up about how various townsfolk were saved in the nick of time by the marauding monster. I use this blog to discuss these e-mail forwards, which I'm often able to debunk based solely on the biology of the organism in question.
I'm very interested in writing blogs that address reader questions or concerns about wildlife. I encourage you to contact me with your comments. Please also forward along any e-mail forwards you feel may contain questionable information about reptiles. I'd be happy to address the e-mail in a future blog. I can be reached at LivingAlongsideWildlife@gmail.com.
