In 1995, 14 wolves were released in Yellowstone National Park. No one expected the miracle that the wolves would bring.It started with the wolves hunting the deer, this led to a rapid decrease in the deer population. The wolves' presence also made the deer avoid parts in the park where they were and easy prey. Thanks to the deer's absence, those parts started to regenerate. Forests of aspen and willow trees started to flourish. That's when things really started to happen. With trees and bushes came more berries and bugs. As soon as that happened, various bird species started moving in.With the increasing tree population, also another species was attracted. The beaver, previously extinct in the region, moved back. And the dams they built provided habitats for otters, muskrats and reptiles.The wolves also killed coyotes, which meant more hawks, red foxes, badgers and weasels in the park. Even the population of bald eagles and ravens rose.But here's where it gets really interesting. The wolves changed the behavior of the rivers. With more balance between predator and prey came the possibility for other species to thrive. There was less erosion because of increased vegetation. And the river banks were stabilized, the channels narrowed, more pools formed, and the rivers stayed more fixed in their courses.So the wolves did not only transform the great ecosystem of Yellowstone, they also changed the park's physical geography.#nature #ecology #wolves #yellowstone #parks

Sewing machines, old ones passed to me by neighbors whose lawn I mowed, were my first introduction to thinking about processes in a mechanical context, which means keeping track of many things at once, and that leads to organizing one's own work, establishing personal rules which can be loose in definition but must rigorously adhered to, preempting common pitfalls (like losing parts) and streamlining our physical engagement with a task or work-piece.Taking apart and restoring these machines was my first experience of self-directed work. I set the tasks, I performed the operations, I had to conceive chains of causalities and execute my role in them, facilitating the machine and the tools and the materials to come together to produce new things.The sewing machines made around the turn of the 20th century for home use are small miracles of intricacy and precision, fascinating and beautiful in their own right, but they're much more than that, they're a means of production, empowering their operators to both create and maintain garments and other contrivances of cloth or leather or suitably supple plastics.
