Most likely, Grant was thinking about technology of his times and military strategy: today, cyberspace militancy could easily shut down the criminal organisation calling itself the 'US-government'. Yet, it is a global corporate elite issue of factionalism that dominates everything...

President Grant signed The Yellowstone National Park Protection Act into law on March 1, 1872; establishing Yellowstone as the first national park of the USA and the world: preventing private development. Trump executive orders aim to open vast amounts of public land for logging, drilling & mining.

BahΓa Portete β Kaurrele National Natural Park (est. 2014) is Colombia's northernmost national park & protects both terrestrial & marine ecosystems. The park is an essential habitat for five threatened sea turtle species: Green, Loggerhead, Hawksbill, Leatherback & Olive Ridley.
Tiny pinkish red blossoms clustered on a arching stem against a blurred background of light & dark greens.
Light green leaves surrounding a cluster of unopened, faintly purple flower buds.
Downward drooping, tassel like yellow blossoms against a background of blurred green blades.

Trees along riverbanks (i.e. riparian buffers) are typically healthier, faster-growing and more resilient than those in drier, inland areas. This is due to a combination of constant access to water, nutrient-rich soil and a dynamic ecosystem. Though, it depends on the biome status.
Not all birds have waterproof feathers: most birds use oils from a uropygial gland & specialised feather structures to repel water, but cormorants have absorbent feathers to aid in diving. Other birds (e.g. pigeons & parrots) lack a preen gland; relying on dust powder for feather maintenance.
The Yellow Land crab is a species of terrestrial crab that lives on Ascension Island & other areas in The South Atlantic Ocean. It is endangered in Brazil & is protected, with populations facing threats from habitat loss, invasive species & poaching. It is intrinsic to marine ecosystems, also.

The Sargasso shearwater of The Caribbean Sea & The Bahamas: while widespread, they are vulnerable to invasive predators & habitat disruption. Successful conservation, such as rat control in The French West Indies, has increased local breeding success from 0% to 90%.
Old Providence McBean Lagoon National Natural Park (est. 1995) is one of three national parks in the Colombian Caribbean Sea zone protecting coral reefs. The park contains different ecosystems; such as mangrove forests, coral formations, sea grass meadows & a small area of tropical dry forest.
My guess is that the real Dean Andrews Jr. (1922-1981), portrayed by John Candy in 'JFK', had insights into the pedophilia of the 1960s of the elite corporate powers controlling the USA.
Rapid climate change is influencing the roosting habits of specific species of aerial insectivores: global warming shortens winter & speeds up emergence of plants & insects, which results in a more rapid need to prepare to migrate for the birds resulting in weakened DNAβ¦
The gray-crowned rosy finch species of North America exists and evolves in alpine regions: via genetic sequencing the birds are able to control red blood cell replication (i.e. oxygen issue), camouflage of plumage and precision sensory perceptionβ¦
The molecular structure of plant cell membranes facilitates the conveyance of chloroplast proteins for photosynthesis: molecular channels via peptides form between the outer and inner membrane, which allows for pre-protein flowβ¦
Nitrogen oxide compounds and ozone react with emissions from vegetation at night to produce organic aerosols: added to synthetic aerosol release via human activities this enhances heat energy disequilibrium at planetary surface level (i.e. toxic ground-level ozone)β¦
