"When considering the great victories of America’s conservationists, we tend to think of the sights and landscapes emblematic of the West, but there’s also a rich history of acknowledging the value of the wetlands of America’s south.

These include such vibrant ecosystems as the Everglades, the Great Dismal Swamp, the floodplains of the Congaree River, and “America’s Amazon” also known as the “Land Between the Rivers”—recently preserved forever thanks to generous donors and work by the Nature Conservancy (TNC).

With what the TNC described as an “unprecedented gift,” 8,000 acres of pristine wetlands where the Alabama and Tombigbee Rivers join, known as the Mobile Delta, were purchased for the purpose of conservation for $15 million. The owners chose to sell to TNC rather than to the timber industry which planned to log in the location.

“This is one of the most important conservation victories that we’ve ever been a part of,” said Mitch Reid, state director for The Nature Conservancy in Alabama.

The area is filled with oxbow lakes, creeks, and swamps alongside the rivers, and they’re home to so many species that it ranks as one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth, such that Reid often jokes that while it has rightfully earned the moniker “America’s Amazon” the Amazon should seriously consider using the moniker “South America’s Mobile.”

“This tract represents the largest remaining block of land that we can protect in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. First and foremost, TNC is doing this work for our fellow Alabamians who rightly pride themselves on their relationship with the outdoors,” said Reid, who told Advance Local that it can connect with other protected lands to the north, in an area called the Red Hills.

“Conservation lands in the Delta positions it as an anchor in a corridor of protected lands stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to the Appalachian Mountains and has long been a priority in TNC’s ongoing efforts to establish resilient and connected landscapes across the region.”

At the moment, no management plan has been sketched out, but TNC believes it must allow the public to use it for recreation as much as possible.

The money for the purchase was provided by a government grant and a generous, anonymous donor, along with $5.2 million from the Holdfast Collective—the conservation funding body of Patagonia outfitters."

‘You’d like to know what they’re talking about, wouldn’t you?’ ‘Yes . . . No! And anyway . . . Anyway, I can’t hear anything. They’re too far away.’ ‘I’ll tell you,’ laughed the bard. ‘If you want.’ ‘And how are you supposed to know?’ ‘Ha, ha. I, my dear Ciri, am a poet. Poets know everything about things like this. I’ll tell you something else; poets know more about this sort of thing than the people involved do.’ ‘Of course you do!’ ‘I give you my word. The word of a poet.’ ‘Really? Well then . . . Tell me what they’re talking about? Tell me what it all means!’ THE WITCHER: SEASON 3 EPISODE 4 | A TIME OF CONTEMPT: CHAPTER 2

This photo of me drawing at the Tate Britain Museum in London was taken by my assistant and comic art restoration specialist Allan Harvey back in 2017 - when I still had hair.

I like to do studies of art while in museums, but sometimes I like to wig people out by drawing from my imagination, as I am doing here.

It was fun seeing people trying to figure out what I was copying when I wasn't actually copying anything.

Petty artist thrills. Good times.

I was sitting in front of William Holman Hunt's painting The Lady of Shallot.

If I was an artist I like to imagine I would also do this.

My junior high algebra and geometry teacher did something similar.

He went on vacation with friends to an island off the coast of Maine that's popular with artists, particularly painters who go there to do seascapes. Mr. J. wasn't very artistic beyond polygons and polyhedrons, but he was creative in the way of the mischievous math geek. On a day trip to the mainland, he popped into a tourist shop and picked up a paint-by-numbers kit… of a clown.

When he set up his little easel on the shore the next day, he started with the red areas, a color that was very much not in the ocean vista before him, and proceeded to confuse the heck out of the other nearby visitors. Needless to say, the "serious" painters got a little annoyed when they realized what he was actually doing, but he got a kick out of it. And he did really finish the painting, even if it wasn't the usual souvenier from that particular destination.
