El Consejo de Relaciones Estadounidenses-Islámicas, la organización de derechos civiles y defensa musulmana más grande del país, calificó la orden de “innecesaria, excesiva y motivada ideológicamente”.
The tribe aims to restore historic prairies by removing invasive species and encroaching native vegetation. The prairies are important food sources for elk and the mardon skipper butterfly, said Kling from the conservancy.Trees removed from prairies will be used as logjams for creeks to create habitat for frogs, fish and turtles.
The tribe will reintroduce fire to aid in prairie restoration and reestablish forest diversity and mature forests to help imperiled species bounce back.Members know its going to take decades of work for these lands and waterways to heal.“And maybe all that’s not going to be done in my lifetime,” said McCovey, the fisheries director. “But that’s fine, because I’m not doing doing this for myself.”

where so much blood was spilled 81 years ago.Muslim pilgrims enter the Grand Mosque, during the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, Monday, June 2, 2025. (AP Photo/Amr Nabil)
This year, temperatures at the Hajj are expected to reach 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit).is typically about 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit), just 4 degrees Celsius (7 degrees Fahrenheit) away from catastrophe in the form of heatstroke.
The bigger killer in the heat is the strain on the heart, especially for people who have cardiovascular disease. Blood rushes to the skin to help shed core heat, causing blood pressure to drop. The heart responds by trying to pump more blood to keep someone from passing out.Avoid going out during the day unless necessary. Seek shade and rest often, despite the temptation to go at top speed. The Hajj is a marathon not a sprint.
