Ecotour grizzlies less likely to encounter conflict with humans, B.C. study suggests

'If you're viewing bears in the right way … [it] does not predispose them to bear-human conflicts later on'

.@David_C_Scott expects many fish in the street would have died, but said the storm shouldn’t have a major impact on the current salmon population. Instead, he's concerned about the incident creating an uncertain future for the next generation of fish. https://t.co/mEhnJXE90W

Fact over fiction: The realities of endangered killer whales. "If they are to recover, the Canadian government needs to use an emergency order under SARA to halt the rapid ­degradation of Salish Sea waters  where Southern Residents feed." #orcas https://t.co/dsV9ZuVzsC

Gwyn Morgan’s recent commentary, “Orcas, poachers and our threatened salmon industry,” revealed a troubling misunderstanding of killer whales, wild salmon and the fundamentals of wildlife science. #yyj #BCpoli

Across the country, many such #creeks have been lost to development, @David_C_Scott added, with cities rising above the rivers, brooks and #streams that once supported wildlife and provided food and transportation for communities. https://t.co/hQwKhP638b

We have ethical responsibilities to targeted species and to biodiversity, and we need to consider the well-being of both.

These contests involve the indiscriminate killing of #animals over a specified time and conducted with the aim of reducing predator populations without regard for population/ecosystem dynamics, ecological impact, or intrinsic value of individual animals. https://t.co/m37HiZXLJr

Early Friday morning 23 August 2024 - migratory ducks, shore birds, sandpipers, plovers - arriving to rest & feed at Roberts Bank!

And Look - Pelicans!! Beautiful! We must protect this area from exploitation! 🥰👍❤️👊 #stopRBCT2 visit @Raincoast @GeorgiaStraitBC @ecojustice_ca

New research shows the impact log booms have on #salmon habitats in the Fraser Estuary. Conducted across the Lower Fraser and Estuary in 2019-20, it's one of the only studies to look at potential impacts on #habitat from log booms. @David_C_Scott https://t.co/pH0TBOf57m

"The biggest gap in the Nature Accountability Bill is that it does not enshrine the 23 targets of the 2030 Strategy into law and doesn’t require Canada to set national #biodiversity recovery targets based on species decline." @kl_walters https://t.co/wUlLRdJiv8

[Kristen Walters @kl_walters]

For its first tabling, the Nature Accountability Act does not require much 'accountability' for Canada.

Bill C-73 should include requirements for regular audits by the Commissioner of the Env. to evaluate progress of the 2030 Biodiversity Strategy @SenRosaGalvez @NatureCanada

6PPD-quinone is used to extend tire tread lifespan. “Unfortunately, it’s really bad, especially for coho #salmon,” said @Raincoast biologist @David_C_Scott. “Every time it rains, you’re going to get a huge flush of these contaminants into the river.” https://t.co/cx4vFYXQoU
