#repopulation

I sympathize

Repopulating an area is not only about increasing census. It's also:

-regenerating degradated soil

-giving space to local flora and growing plants adequate to the enviroment

-valuing and preserving popular architecture

-contributing to community, cooperation and communication

-dwelling without invading; it's all about respect

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife reported late Monday that it has named two new wolf packs that were confirmed in the state last summer.

The newly named wolf families are the Beyem Seyo pack in Plumas County and the Harvey pack in Lassen County. Another of 2023’s newly discovered packs, the Yowlumni pack, ranges in Tulare County and was named in December.

“These awe-inspiring animals continue to show us that California’s wild landscapes are great habitat for wolves and that they’ll find their way here,” said Amaroq Weiss, a senior wolf advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity. “Wolves belong in our state, and we should do everything we can to ensure they thrive.”

The department’s quarterly report covered known wolf information from August through October 2023. It reported that the state has five wolf packs plus several groups of wolves, including new individuals and groups in four northeastern California counties.

The new report noted the continued existence of the Lassen pack in Lassen County, the Whaleback pack in Siskiyou County and a group of two or three wolves in Tehama County. Another group of three wolves was documented ranging in Sierra and Nevada counties, and individual wolves have been sighted in Modoc County. A previously known wolf family in Plumas County, the Beckwourth pack, is thought to no longer exist.

Based on the department’s count, California is currently home to around 45 wolves including adults, yearlings and pups of the year.

The Beyem Seyo pack has at least two adults and six pups; the Harvey pack has at least two adults and one pup; the Lassen pack has a minimum two adults, five yearlings, and three pups; the Whaleback pack is composed of at least two adults, one yearling, and eight pups; the Yowlumni pack consists of two adults and six pups; and the two unnamed groups of wolves include a group of two to three wolves in Tehama County and a group of three wolves in Sierra and Nevada counties.

“I feel so fortunate to bear witness to the return of these top-level carnivores to California,” said Weiss. “Not only are wolves essential to healthy, wild nature, they also have for thousands of years been integral to the human spirit and imagination and a symbol of our connection to the wild.”

Background

The first wolf in nearly a century to make California part of his range was OR-7, a radio-collared wolf from Oregon that entered California in late 2011. OR-7 traveled across seven northeastern counties in California before returning to southwestern Oregon, where he found a mate and settled down, forming the Rogue pack.

Several of OR-7’s offspring have since come to California and established packs. Those include the original breeding male of the Lassen pack and the breeding female of the Yowlumni pack residing in Tulare County. The Shasta pack, California’s first confirmed wolf pack in nearly 100 years, was discovered in 2015 but disappeared a few months later.

My story has several worlds with disaster plans in case of planetary destruction a select group of essential people with the best genes are sent away on colony ships to repopulate elsewhere. So anyone with infertility issues or are unwilling to reproduce/donate are out. Problem is... it automatically disqualifies some LGBT+ people who no longer have/won't use their parts simply for being who they are. Suggestions?

First, I advise reading this answer we gave for a similar question.

I cannot tell you how to write an inclusive story about eugenics. You're also erasing genetically disabled people from this narrative if you're using criteria of "the best genes."

My suggestion is to handle things similarly to how (spoilers) The Darkness Outside Us did. They had genetic material pre-created and an artificial womb (IIRC) to gestate the material. They specifically made it so that the donor genes were far apart in genetic similarities so that eventually a self sustaining community could be made without worrying about consanguinity in descendants. This also made it so the founder population does not have to biologically reproduce to be relevant. It also removes the pressure of people who can reproduce from being forced to, which is deeply problematic.

I would also wonder if there is a real reason to repopulate in your story. Not everyone feels that need. It's depressing for sure, to think of being the last person alive, but I'm thinking of it from my own perspective. I know I would be lonely, but I think depending on where I went, I would find a certain kind of peace in living alongside what lives where I do and doing right by other living creatures. What survives after does not need to be human. There isn't a moral obligation to continue to reproduce.

DC Unpopular Opinion

Honestly? I've never liked the idea of any of the supers being gay. The reason being that Kryptonians are already a heavily endangered species, as is. Making even one of them gay will just set back their ability to repopulate even more.

Like, in situations like this, you have to ask yourself what's more important; you're personal happiness or the literal continued existence of a critically endangered race of people?

I'm sorry, but an individual is not worth more than the whole.

Like, sure, once there's like triple digits, then one single Kryptonian being gay doesn't matter, but as it stands, they are in the single digits.

Too many at once, then that's their entire legacy gone.

Reality isn't pretty or nice, ya'll.

It's been a long time since large herds of bison roamed what is now Treaty 7 territory in Alberta, but Clayton Whitney, manager of the Tsuut'ina Nation's buffalo paddock, can see the impact reintroduction projects are having on the bison population and the surrounding wildlife.

"It's amazing how much animals want to come on this side of the fence with the bison," he told The Current. "We get everything from cougars and bears and moose and deer, elk."

Thinking abt the air nomads:

What if, after the war, once the dust has settled a little, Aang goes back to travelling, hoping that maybe he can find at least some trace of surviving airbenders. As an added bonus, he gets to do more of the exploring and wandering that he had to put on hold.

Toph goes with him ofc. She only just got a taste of real freedom and it was overshadowed by ever-present impending doom. While she's on speaking terms with her parents, she isnt quite ready to be back under their roof on a permanent basis. The rest of the gaang have their individual homes and responsibilities that they get back to, though they join for the odd field trip or adventure when they can.

So anyway, they're touring all over the world and over the years they notice just how displaced so many people have become. EK citizens who barely escaped the blaze but lost everything; FN military now decommissioned with no idea how to carry on; people looking for a new start in the hard-won peace. Maybe it starts with Toph heading back to Earth Rumble, where a group of young runaways scrounge for cheap fights to make a little money.

At each turn they find more and more people with no homes to return to and no family to protect them; runaways escaping the roles the war forced them into. Gradually, Aang and Toph start to see that they aren't so different from themselves. They just want a new start.

So they decide to give them one. They clean up the temples and set up villages in the surrounding areas (helps to be master earthbenders), where people can arrive and stay as long as they need. Travellers and refugees pass through in droves, sometimes choosing to stay and rebuild their lives there, sometimes continuing in their wandering with a guarantee that they'll always have a place to return to should they have the need.

Over time, the lemurs grow in number and even some flying bison calfs (hybrids with a relative species maybe?), can be seen in the skies. Whenever the founders visit, it isn't the same but Aang feels a little more at home.

The first time someone asks Aang to teach him his philosophies, and expresses his desire to become a monk, how can he refuse? Maybe it's a former soldier, somebody who's done terrible things, looking for a path to redemption. So Aang teaches him, and then he teaches others. And though they may not be airbenders, they are as earnest and faithful as any nun or monk Aang knew before. The temples become filled with new faces: Firebenders, Earthbenders, Waterbenders and non-benders all wearing Air nomad orange and yellow.

Aang always feared that it would be his responsibility to have airbender children, and the idea of forcing that on someone he loved terrified him. Maybe that's why he waited so long before acting on his feelings for his best friend, his travelling companion, his fellow-village builder and temple-restorer. How could they have a truly happy relationship with this pressure hanging over them? He wishes he could be content with the new way of things that he and his friends have created. But he knows that he can't be the last airbender forever...

Nobody knows why some children can bend the elements and others can't. Is it blood? Is it blessing? Is it the land in which you're born? Or is it the simple allocation of fates decided by the values and norms you're raised believing in? Is it enough to be surrounded by the culture and beliefs of the Air Nomads? Nobody knows...

All they know is that nobody sees it coming when the six-year-old daughter of two non-bender villagers from the Earth Kingdom and Northern Water Tribe sends herself flying twelve feet into the air with a sneeze.

if I survived an apocalypse (which I wouldn’t) and then someone said “hey we have to repopulate” I would go into heavy detail about population crashes, genetic bottlenecking and the extremely sad last days of the last wooly mammoths on Wrangel Island. go to the library and pull out books and everything
