heard on the radio this morning, the controversy over the reintroduction of wolves to the american rocky mountains, and the effects, and it makes me pause and wonder, do these conservation studies look at moments in time, these snippets of living, these photographs of ecosystems, those dynamic fluid systems of predator and prey, of weather and plants, geological formations and more. are all these things taken into account, when we try to fix something we broke? how much power and control are we supposed to use, to offer, to destroy and create and recreate and fix and "fix". how are we to know the far reaching ramifications, the so called "butterfly effect"? what happens if we continue to freeze nature, or at least try and put nature back into the time frame that we observed it?
