River Otter Returns to Bronx River After a Century
Original: Petition: An Otter Came Back to the Bronx River After 100 Years. New York Still Traps Them. https://www. onegreenplanet.
A trail camera on the Bronx River has photographed a North American river otter, the first confirmed sighting there in roughly 100 years, a sign the waterway's cleanup is paying off. Conservationists have launched a petition calling on New York to ban trapping of otters, arguing the species' hard-won return should not be put at risk by trapping that remains legal in parts of the state.
Why now: The rare wildlife comeback, contrasted with trapping still being legal, has sparked a petition and public debate.
