  1. “I used to tell people that burrowing owl populations in B.C. are basically on life support. If it weren’t for programs like the one at Upper Nicola … we wouldn’t have any owls in B.C.”

  2. NO CHANGE SEEN FOR BRITISH COLUMBIA'S ENDANGERED SPECIES AMIDST GROWING NUMBERS

    Almost 1,340 species in British Columbia are at risk with little recovery. Learn why the province's lack of endangered species law is a problem.

  3. The report identified impacts to #speciesAtRisk, risks of #contamination of surface- and #groundwater, risks of #airpollution, and that the project did not properly consider #economicRisks in its evaluation (which may be significant for the agri-food sector in our region), while overstating royalty payments. There was no cost evaluation for the long-term treatment of #water (long after the coal mine would be closed) and dubious commitments for #restoration after #mine closure.

  4. Evening grosbeaks at one of our feeders. They are a species at risk. We regularly have >20 at a time with more in the surrounding trees. Our property is ideal for overwintering and migrating birds, as it is surrounded by mixed woods, and has an old unsprayed orchard, small ponds, a pollinator-friendly garden, and humans who love them and let them be.

  5. Suncor bulldozes through a probable nesting ground for a threatened species and AER fines them…$5,000. Suncor blames a cyberattack.

    Suncor’s net earnings for Q1 2025 were $1.6 billion.

    Another super villain level badge earned.

  6. Just got back from protesting #bill5. Got some supportive drivers, and 1 person even signed my petition. This is not supported by the people of #Ontario. Going out again tomorrow.

  7. Today I went to see the rarest snails in the world. These critically endangered mollusks exist only in a little pond in Banff. Since it's a sulphur hot spring, the whole area smells of snail farts.

    In other news, I sold another poem.

  9. Laugh if you want, but sharks are in trouble and humans are to blame. You're more at risk of getting killed by a vending machine statistically speaking. They are fascinating and woefully misunderstood.

  10. For #insertAnInvert a print about how monarch butterflies who are fooled into laying eggs on the invasive dog-strangling vine (European swallowwort, Vincetoxicum rossicum) due to its similarities to its host plant milkweed are cursed to hatch larvae which starve and die. Dog-strangling vine unlike milkweed doesn’t serve as a food source for the caterpillars, 🧵1/n

  11. #Backroads on #DididahtTerritory.
    This is part of the #SanJuanRiver & forests in the valley. The #watershed area is under ongoing #ecological threats by industrial #clearcut #logging. This is near #CarmannahWalbran #BritishColumbia provincial park.
    The forests here are longtime foraging, mating & birthing grounds for the #CowichanValley Roosevelt elk herd. The San Juan is an important salmon bearing river. The old growth forests here are home to several #SpeciesAtRisk & #EndangeredSpecies.
    There is ongoing eco activism work to try & protect more of the forests & #waterways in this #wilderness valley on Southern #VancouverIsland.

  12. Tweten is of #Cree ancestry and now lives on #PEI working on the PEI #ForestedLandscape Priority Place project as a #Mikmaw engagement co-ordinator. 
    The project #protects #SpeciesAtRisk & their #habitats & while it's hard to know how many #BlackAsh #trees are left on the Island, Tweten said 450 is a good guess.

  18. This print is my response to seeing invasive dog-strangling vine (European swallowwort, Vincetoxicum rossicum) popping up all over my neighbourhood. Not only do these plants create dense stands that outcompete native plants but they threaten the monarch butterfly which depends on milkweed and are fooled by similarities between the two into mistakenly laying eggs on dog-strangling vine 🧵
