Which brings me to some good news: we’re starting to understand how to better co-exist with fishers in developed areas. And studies show that fishers, normally very wary of humans, appear to be open to the concept of living near people, so long as people are open to fishers.
In fact, that’s great news. For biodiversity, sure, but also for you and me. Why? Because one of the few fisher researchers in the world told us that nothing in the animal kingdom smells better than a fisher. Apparently it’s indescribable: “Like cinnamon but so much better.”
So there you have it: save the fisher, we have a nicer smelling world for all.
