    That happens in the US too. It’s why there’s New York addresses that own huge “fields” of land that’s usually a wetland. The marginal land is protected and they get a corn subsidy from the government to not farm the land.

    Is the native landscape a rock garden? If you live in the Mojave: Go nuts, but that black rock is going to bake your house and drive up your carbon dioxide usage. Plants breathe just like animals do and that increases humidity locally, and in dry climates that can be a significant cooling effect. Essentially cheap evaporative cooling.

    Why would white nose fungus and pesticides be linked in the slightest? The issue with that is tourists who don’t want to admit they’ve been driving from national park to national park visiting each cave along the way without sanitizing anything. Same reason Zebra Mussels are spreading so rapidly. Just like people blaming 5G for COVID: It’s easier to externalize blame rather that come to terms with the, frankly, minuscule amount of spores that are needed to destroy the entire roosting colony.

    I really had to look this up, and Jesus fuck, this is real. Bronx Zoo figured out tigers liked Obsession, then researchers in Central America would use it to get jaguars to rub up on certain items in front of cameras so they could record them and go out to gather up fur samples. Farmers noticed from the researchers that you could draw Jaguars to the area with the scent, and herbivores avoid areas frequented by Jaguars, so keep some scented items near your fields and things jaguars like to eat stay away.
