Kościuszko's will: Jefferson's broken promise ❤️

1798: Funds to free & educate slaves (including TJ's)
Jefferson agreed... then refused after Kosciuszko's death

Missed a chance for abolition.

[7/8] Depuis la baisse des effectifs les chercheurs observent des signes encourageants. Reprise locale de la végétation, berges moins compactées, sols plus stables. Ces indices restent qualitatifs, mais concordent avec ce que l’écologie prévoit après une réduction de pression. #Kosciuszko #Australia

[6/8] Les conséquences sont systémiques. Grenouilles corroboree, lézards alpins, petits mammifères et poissons dépendent de sols stables et d’eaux claires. Or les Alpes australiennes fournissent près d’un tiers des apports en eau du bassin Murray-Darling. #Kosciuszko #Australia

[5/8] Les tourbières alpines fonctionnent comme des éponges. Elles stockent la fonte des neiges et alimentent durablement les rivières. Le piétinement crée des sentiers drainants qui assèchent les prairies, troublent les cours d’eau et fragilisent tout l’écosystème. #Kosciuszko #Australia

[4/8] La pression est exceptionnelle. Un cheval consomme environ 8 kg de végétation par jour, contre 600 g pour le kangourou gris, principal herbivore indigène. Surtout, ses sabots durs détruisent mousses et tourbes, essentiels à la régulation de l’eau. #Kosciuszko #Australia

[3/8] Les études de terrain et l’imagerie satellite montrent des impacts clairs. Les chevaux réduisent la couverture végétale, compactent les sols et dégradent berges, tourbières et marais alpins. Ces milieux stockent du carbone depuis des dizaines de milliers d’années. #Kosciuszko #Australia

[2/8] Le parc de Kosciuszko, cœur alpin australien, a longtemps subi une surpopulation de chevaux introduits. Leur nombre est passé d’environ 17000 à 3000 en un an. Plus de 9000 animaux ont été éliminés depuis 2021, marquant un tournant majeur de la gestion environnementale. #Kosciuszko #Australia

With thousands of feral horses gone, Kosciuszko’s fragile ecosystems are slowly recovering With feral horses gone, fragile alpine areas are no longer being trampled by hard hooves. But Kosciuszko’s landscapes will take decades to recover.

[1/8] David M. Watson, professeur d’écologie à Charles Sturt University, et Patrick Finnerty, chercheur à University of Sydney analysent la baisse des chevaux sauvages dans le parc de #Kosciuszko. Ils montrent comment la régulation permet une lente reprise des écosystèmes alpins fragiles. #geography

I am still incredulous that he survived it.

Thirsty, hungry, but alive: hiker found after 13 days Hadi Nazari has been reunited with his family after a 13-day search involving hundreds of rescuers and volunteers...

Fantastic outcome.

I wonder if this fire has any association with the lost hiker?
Might he have lit one to signal rescuers?
I hope he's found safe.

A road leading through sunny alpine national park towards mountains, however there's dark clouds up ahead.

Into the Snowy Mountains.

Unfortunately the weather closed in and we had to abandon summitting Kosci today. We'll try again later in the week!

'As naturalist Richard Helms stated in 1893 in response to degradation of the mountains by graziers: “What right has one section of the community to rob the other of the full enjoyment of an unsullied landscape.”'

One of the groups in my #GEO121 class studied #Kosciuszko NP this semester. So this song always pops into my head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQVdBAU_p2w
