Relocating Prairie Dogs a Hard, Successful Sell in Wyoming - New West

Relocating Prairie Dogs a Hard, Successful Sell in Wyoming - New West | Prairie and Grassland Ecosystems | Scoop.it
From newwest.net - April 4, 2013 12:54 AM
Prairie dogs might seem numerous to the casual observer, but their numbers are plummeting. At one point, black-tailed prairie dogs inhabited 80 million to 100 million acres across 11 states and part of Canada and Mexico.
Kirsten Wilson's insight:

Relocating or moving prairie dogs.  Why is this happening?  Is this a good solution? What are the positive things that may happen by doing this?  What are the bad things that may happen by doing this?  How does this relate to our activity on the Deer Crossing and our upcoming PBL presentation?
