I would strongly encourage those who value the scientific & societal legacies of NCAR to offer feedback by March 13. I would expect, under present circumstances, perspectives from industry partners will be especially critical, though everyone's voice is of course important.

Articles I've written on these shocking acreage totals have so far been pretty rushed and lacked analysis and context. I tried to fix that here, while also breaking the news that the total acreage is now even larger. Have you subscribed to my Substack yet?

Feared this was coming. It will suck to lose the job I have loved for 19 years. If this goes through, it will gut the science capacity that helps us understand and conserve fish, wildlife, and our natural world. Expecting the RIF notices to go out end of this coming week.
Fate of Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit staffers — Matt Kauffman, Anna Chalfoun and Annika Walters — remains unclear, but Trump administration cuts have led to widespread suspicion that their days on the job are numbered.
