An endangered species was recently observed prowling through the steep, rocky terrain near Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks in California for the first time in nearly a century. Trail cameras used by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife detected four sightings of at least one Sierra Nevada red fox near Taboose Pass from April 20 to June 4, 2022, according to a press release shared by the agency Tuesday. Though the snapshots provide just a glimpse of the federally endangered canine’s evening whereabouts, the sightings prove groundbreaking for researchers who are looking to find ways to bolster their tiny population. “When a species is listed as endangered, the most common scenario we see is that it doesn’t recover,” Julia Lawson, an environmental scientist for the agency, told SFGATE by phone Wednesday. “It’s really hard to recover an endangered species when you know so little about them. Knowing where they occur and what habitats are important to them will help … [Read more...] about Endangered fox seen in California park for first time in nearly 100 years

The Forgotten History of Chinese Railroad Workers Rises From the Texas Dust
MARFA, Texas — What remains of the Chinese immigrants who built the Southern Pacific Railroad through Seminole Canyon in the 1880s are the objects they left behind — opium pipes, rice bowls, and imperial coins buried here in the scrublands, three hours east of the desert town of Marfa. The laborers, who after brutal hours toiling in the rattlesnake-infested lands would sleep in tents near the tracks, left little of their own writing. (Their white counterparts lodged inside the train cars.) The artist Kenneth Tam was asked to come here from New York, in December 2021, to explore the canyon’s archaeological sites and piece together a story of the 3,500 laborers. His sculptures of compressed dirt and detritus, horse saddles and leather straps are on exhibit in Ballroom Marfa , a contemporary art space that was once a dance hall. Titled “Tender is the hand which holds the stone of memory,” the exhibition of the sculptures, and a video installation, examine how myths and histories of … [Read more...] about The Forgotten History of Chinese Railroad Workers Rises From the Texas Dust
