I’ve lost so much: people, pets, keys, books. In the short time since settlers arrived, streams and rivers in the Alleghanies have lost too.
I am daily polluted by chemicals and plastics in my food and water. Streams are damaged by global warming, fertilizers, dammed rivers, and air pollution effects us all.
80% of all hellbender salamanders are gone, and like me they want to hide all day, take care of their young, and not bother anyone.
