Sample quote :

“It shows you that spring melting and a faster runoff, at least at this point, I think is a more impactful issue than the gradual decrease in the snowpack overall.” 


==========

" ‘Triage’ is a dirty word in some conservation circles, but like many dirty words, it describes something common. Whether they admit it or not, conservationists have long had to make decisions about what to save.

"As more and more admit it, open discussion about how the decisions are best made — by concentrating on particular species, or particular places, or absolute costs, or any other criterion — becomes possible. Whichever criteria come into play, one thing remains constant. The decisions have to be made quickly."
