Ohio has just confirmed its first fisher cat sighting in 20 years. A species once driven out by habitat loss is quietly coming back. Fisher cats are shy forest predators that need large, healthy woodlands to survive. When they return, it usually means something deeper is healing — soil, prey, trees, balance. No headlines. No celebrations. Just a silent animal reclaiming space it lost. It’s a small moment. But in ecology, small returns often mean big recovery. Nature remembers where it belongs. |
