Crews removed a century-old , Vt. dam to prevent flooding

By Johanna Knapschaefer, October 16, 2025

Excerpt: "Reclaiming Floodplains

Removing the Youngs Brook Damthe source of safety and flooding hazards for decadescould restore more than half an acre of flood plain. Mary Ann Goulette, West Rutlands town manager, says the dams 'removal not only reduces risk to homes, businesses, and infrastructure downstream, but also restores a natural river system that will serve us far better in the face of increasingly severe storms.'

"In that spirit, the Flood Safety Act will authorize the state to preclude development within the for dams removed from a stream site with a drainage area greater than two square miles helping to 'manage stream and floodplain processes toward a more natural equilibrium state,' says Mike Kline, a member of the Vermont Dam Task Force who spearheaded the act after retiring from a 30-year career in the Vermont Dept. of Environmental Conservation.

"Kline says dams can disrupt natural sediment transport processes in streams, leading to more sediment deposition in some places and greater erosion in others. Removing dams with impoundments allows for the creation of 'floodplains that function to store floodwaters and promote greater equilibrium between erosion and deposition, thereby reducing fluvial erosion during flood events,' he says."

- corridors

By admin - December 17, 2025 608

"In an increasingly human-dominated world, the natural landscapes that once stretched unbroken for miles are now often fragmented, carved up by roads, cities, and agricultural fields. This creates isolated 'islands' of habitat, trapping wildlife populations and threatening their long-term survival. Imagine a vibrant ecosystem, bustling with diverse life, suddenly cut into pieces. This is the challenge that wildlife corridors seek to address, offering a lifeline to nature by re-stitching the fabric of our planet.

The Urgent Need for Connectivity

Habitat fragmentation is a silent crisis, severing the vital connections that allow species to thrive. When large natural areas are broken into smaller, isolated patches, animals find themselves confined. This confinement leads to several critical problems:

- Limited Resources: Smaller areas mean fewer food sources, less water, and reduced shelter, especially during seasonal changes.
- Increased Vulnerability: Isolated populations are more susceptible to local extinction from disease, natural disasters, or even random events. A single wildfire or severe storm could wipe out an entire population.
- Genetic Isolation: Perhaps the most insidious threat is the loss of genetic diversity. Without the ability to move and breed with individuals from other populations, species become inbred, weakening their resilience to environmental changes and diseases.

Wildlife corridors emerge as a powerful solution to these challenges. They are essentially pathways of habitat that connect otherwise isolated natural areas, allowing animals to move safely between them. These connections are crucial for maintaining healthy, robust ecosystems."

"The is the first multi-country effort to create a massive wildlife corridor in the heart of South America. Uniting successful grassroots nonprofits in , , , and , the initiative will restore , bring back , and develop in a new cross-border model that addresses the mass and climate instability on a global scale.

"In a groundbreaking announcement during in September 2025, an alliance of grassroots South American nonprofits launched South Americas largest continental-scale rewilding endeavor. The Jaguar Rivers Initiative plans to reconnect across the vast using as the connective tissue. 'We all know the urgency of the and climate crises,' said Kristine Tompkins of Tompkins Conservation. 'This bold initiative underlines the need for coordinated, large-scale action before its too late. Id call it a lifeline to our planet.'

"South America is in the midst of an unparalleled ecological crisis. populations across the region have declined by 94 percent since 1970the steepest drop in the world. The drivers of this collapse, river degradation, , fire, and are intensifying in the face of .

"The Jaguar Rivers Initiative will restore, protect, and connect throughout the heart of South America, covering nearly one million square miles, an area almost twice the size of Alaska. According to Deli Saavedra, the director of the initiative, 'Were undertaking a very strategic act to safeguard one of the largest river systems in the world. By restoring its ecological integrity, diverse species and communities currently under threat in four countries have the opportunity to thrive, using a model of nature restoration combined with regenerative economies that has been tested and proven successful in places like the and the of .'

The initiative will be centered around four pillars:

Arks: Large intact ecosystems with keystone species, restored and rewilded to become sources of wildlife dispersal.

: Surrounding zones where restorative economies promote coexistence and extend protection.

Stepping Stones: Smaller wildlife refuges along corridors, often private reserves, that enable safe dispersal and reduce human-wildlife conflicts.

and : Vital corridors for connectivity, requiring healthy ecological flows safeguarded through citizen guardianship, monitoring, and strong policies."

Climate breakdown is not a natural disaster. It is a business model that privatises profit and socialises cost. Right now, households across Europe are choosing between food and energy bills while fossil-fuel companies book record returns.

The Paris ruling joins a growing body of climate litigation worldwide that is finally naming who is responsible for the crisis.
