just walk is the chief scientist for the illinois chapter of the nature conservancy . as estimated by the turn of the one thousand hundreds there were probably four hundred to one thousand animals that had persisted out of that massive herd of thirty to sixty million is close to extinction it's absolutely closely extinction there was definitely a market for the hides for the meats also part of it is that it was encouraged by the u.s. government as a strategy to help reduce the food supply for the native americans in the conflict with the native american peoples it's estimated there are about four hundred thousand bison now in north america. but most of those vice and were bred with cattle for meat production only about twenty thousand are pure american bison. that genetic line dates back to nine hundred thirteen when fourteen bison from the bronx zoo were trucked to wind cave national park in south dakota at the behest of teddy roosevelt. so when it was time to bring bison to choose they looked for a posse with the wind lineage. we went to broken code on grassland anot

we went to broken grassland another nature conservancy preserve in northwest. when i was in the october twenty fourth team and brought back twenty animals with us we were essentially separated off the animals that we were going to bring back to illinois make sure that they were how to clean bill of health. seven of the females we strapped g.p.s. collars onto so that we can get near real time movements of the animals tracking those movements with the g.p.s. collars is julio brockman a bison researcher at southern illinois university. what kind of data are you receiving so we're getting location information a g.p.s. point on a map every hour twenty four hours a day so can you show me what you've been seeing sure these are the bison locations for yesterday they seem to be spending a lot of time along their corral and trap pressure and i can corroborate that because we were there and we saw them there so what would you say is the ultimate goal of your study having an amount of data really changes how we look at their movements and their selection it helps to unders

here for the world wildlife fund for nature he's had many years of experience dealing with nature conservation in crisis regions. elephants are a favorite target for poachers. but ons has spent thirty seven years working as a conservationist in africa and during that time he's observed how elephants are gradually disappearing from the continent. the last of the fun. is here we had we had. finished with all of the we know that and if you do. i want to live on so we have to be really different from them. even though rangers patrol the work they don't have enough weapons and ammunitions to ward off the professional poachers the situation is similar in the rest of africa. there are. a lot of people and that is depriving the people buying the things that only their lives. a lot of people. did for that. during previous posts in chad and northern congo last nearly forty employees in the battle against poachers. always the problem with the gangs and then when you see everybody say north how do you want. to protect their lives i don't want guns to protect the elephant i want guns the people that don't

i am happy that this resolution is being supported by the sierra club, and the nature conservancy, but i want to be clear this this resolution is a step towards a greater commitment to the biodiversity of san francisco and get city shake holde stakeholders in a room to accomplish future actions. i believe this resolution accomplishes this goal, and colleagues, i hope i have your support in this resolution today. we have a presentation, and i know there are representatives with several city departments in the room today to express support. i'd like to begin with druzing debb -- introducing debbie rafael, the director of sf environment. >> gamp. thank you so much for that introduction, supervisor fewer and for sponsoring the resolution. i also want to thank supervisor kim for sponsor is and chair tang for all of you for hearing the item today. so it seems to me to be a fitting time to celebrate and acknowledge the importance of the city's biodiversity as we kick off earth month. from ocean beach to treasure island, we are gifted with a unique natural environment that's worth protecting.

jazeera papa new guinea let's talk to will mcgoldrick is director of climate strategy at the nature conservancy he joins us live from your carter in the major via skype well so how much progress in the forest conservation has been made in the two years since the last a.p.r.'s and when i and the signing of the paris climate accord. well thanks for having me the paris climate accord certainly has driven a huge up leave international attention on on all sources of greenhouse gas emissions and it's also turned the spotlight on on forests and on the land sector as a whole which we estimate could contribute around thirty seven percent of the total abatement that required to achieve the paris goal so i guess there's a tension that that's being lifted there's a huge amount of effort going on in a lot of countries to try and i guess get on top of the problem but sadly at this point in time we're not seeing that translate into a shift in the global trend the global trend is still one of net loss of forests globally so sadly we can't claim any sort of victory just at this point but but it is encouraging t

the record as being critical of the current conservative movement, and rather depressed about its prospects. so my questions are, what in your view is the nature of the conservative movement that bill developed and how can it now creatively and imaginatively respond to the circumstances in which it finds itself? >> well, one of -- i think one of the key moves in bill's early career, and this was before i was born, or while i was being born, and certainly long before i was aware of him, you mentioned his first book. but his second book was mccarthy and his enemies. and that was a brief for general mccarthy. so there was a demagogic figure that bill supported. on his third book, he backed off. that was "up from liberalism," and joe mccarthy appears in that, but he's deliberately not defending him or attacking him. he's just using him as someone who provoked liberalism and let me respond to how liberals reacted to him. so he sort of moved mccarthy off center stage to just be a provocation. and then much later in his life he explicitly said mccarthy was wrong in the way he proceeded. and so i think today we're sort of in a similar position. i thin

i rather support their more conservative nature.ssives and sort of affluent people who live here who think, well, you know, we are generally in favour of a change to society so this is our kind of party these days. we live in complicated and fluid times. if london is turning into a modern city state set apart from the rest of the country, then what of remain supporters? just over 60% of londoners voted to stay in the eu, possibly providing pickings for the most unequivocally pro—eu of the main parties. i think since the referendum, to be honest, i'm an eu citizen and i did not get a chance to vote unfortunately. and i got very frustrated with the result, obviously. i have been here close to 30 years, married to a brit, and it has been really frustrating to feel like, from one day to the next, suddenly i was a guest, i was no longer a member of the community. i had to justify my presence, or it felt that way, anyway. for vince cable, brexit is a mixed blessing. the party fears it may lose seats in leave—voting sutton, but it has high

it's very religious, still predominantly white like other areas, very conservative and it reflects the national narrative and the natural culture so we have these natural disasters, we have the tornadoes they are infamous for and there've been several devastations and more that people know about. when that happens and there is an f5 tornado and everything is laid flat and people are suffering than it is a stall of the divisions also again the way americans do suite of the oklahoma city bombing and the federal building in 2005 which in some ways be staged 9/11 and how people responded after the bombing. some people ask why do you want to go there and i'm very all of this what is important for us? >> why he open up that wound and it's because it cannot be healed unless we do that and so it will continue to erupt every decade, every few years until we come to oh i enough what the nature of e history is. as we interviewed local historians and civic leaders you can watch any of the interviews online by going to booktv.org and selecting the city's tour from a drop down or visit c-span.org and you can follow on twitter for beh

king was making a harsh judgment about the nature of the conservative captivity of the black church. in 1962 he joined with other ministers to succeed from the national baptist convention then led by the gifted, but conservative minister joseph jackson saying that we need to find a more progressive forum about social justice. to let the justice waters flow in this country. so dr. king had to split from sesh moments within the black church and forge connection and foundation with other progressive ministers to cry out against ts injustice that rang so powerfully. we do know, i talk about this, the way dr. king has been made a toothless tiger harks turned into ab emblem for commercial culture, when he stood against it. in 1962, dr. king made $230,000. that's a lot of cheddar now. he gave every dime except $10,000 to the movement and he kept that in order to pay his taxes. when he got the nobel peace prize, he gave every dime to the movement. he was deeply and profoundly invested in the revolutionary resistance against social injustice, economic inequality in the country and the black c

survived and done well over the last 10 years, very changing corporate landscape -- they are naturally more conservativeave been in previous parts of our cycles. here they are -- long into the cycle -- they have been benefiting from being conservative. from being cautious about spending and investment, from managing to the margins, to what shareholders are interested in -- also really thoughtful about how valuations look relative to their peers. this is not a group that has been swinging to defensive for the last 10 years. that has paid off. political is confusion or discussion or potential risk around trade -- it is natural for them to go back to the conservative behavior. it is one of the reasons -- i am less excited about huge amounts of additional, incremental investment. we will much more likely see companies thinking about more cash to shareholders. and and to buybacks and perhaps special dividends. a chief executive, you are right, going back to default position. i'm not sure what we make of these politics in italy or hungary but the market seems to ignore it. is it the way the market is on tunin

caring for our island of guam and conserving guam's natural resources are among my top priorities, and i'm immensely proud of the frank cable crew's achievement. the secretary of the navy's award this year, plus a second award to the frank cable, and hat is the 2017 chief of naval operations environmental excellence award are examples of the partnership between the u.s. military and the people of guam that we need. so i again applaud the frank cable crew on their awards and i hope that the military will continue to act as responsible stewards of our island. thank you, mr. speaker. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentleman from kansas, mr. marshall, for five minutes. mr. marshall: good afternoon, mr. speaker. if i could today i'd like to share a story, a story about one of my favorite communities in kansas, a 3,681-foot of elevation, goodland, kansas, sits on the border of the kansas-colorado line. you can look to the west and e the rocky mountains rising out of the earth literally. partially because of that elevation and the many hot dry days there, the
