The Tule Elk Song by The Invisible Bee
Song about Point Reyes in California. Point Reyes encompasses evergreen forests, mountains, thousands of acres of coastal prairie, freshwater marshes, saltwater estuaries, wild surf, calm bays, lakes, and thousands of species of wildlife on both land and sea.
On September 15, 2021, The National Park Service signed a plan to extend ranching leases 20 years and kill native Tule Elk that interfere with ranching operations to satisfy the tenant rancher demands. Local activists continue to fight to stop the environmentally destructive ranching and dairy practices that threaten native wildlife both on land and at sea.

The Treaty aims to halt the widespread degradation of critical ecosystems caused by animal agriculture, to promote a shift to more healthy, sustainable plant-based diets and to actively reverse damage done to planetary functions, ecosystem services and biodiversity.

This radio play exposes the corruption and lack of transparency in the Massachusetts State House. In 2024, despite the monumental effort of activists, Massachusetts legislators got nothing done and failed to pass a climate bill.
