^^ This. I only clicked through because I wanted to visualize where this would be. What a missed opportunity.

I control-F'd around to try to figure out what methods they were using. Is it just setting aside land? or is there engineering involved? wildlife bridges over roadways? I don't know!

I find the same thing with my local newspaper. I'm sure it costs a lot to have photographers but man if the article says "raging fire"... I want to see some fire. That's half the draw there / should bring in lots of clicks! But no...

one of the side affects of every 'news' organization going all-in on "seo" is that they optimized articles for the crawlers, not for the human readers.
