HUNTERS AGAINST EXTENSIVE WOLF HUNTING!
That's a reminder that the hunter lobby does not represent every hunter (like the agriculture one with farmers).

[Abbey Wilson @AbbeyEWilson]

Earlier this year, @GNWT_ECC Wildlife attended the #WildlifeCaptureSymposium! We learned from some amazing experts, presented our #wolf capture methods, and kept up the tradition of a conference horseback ride.

Never thought I'd see the day when Wildlife Crossings was formally proposed as a LEGO kit. Then again I haven't touched a LEGO since 1992.

These are some important reasons that explain why lethal control is a threat to #Wolf conservation in the #EU (and probably everywhere else too)

Camera + ARU deployment effort on #wolf dens this week.🤞they come back next spring so we can learn about pack size, litter size, and survival! @GNWT_ECC

New polar bear paper - physiological slant.
"Polar bear life history characteristics and population dynamics are being influenced by global warming..., and the effects of these changes are expressed at the physiologic level." More evidence (aka science) on climate change impacts.

[The Wildlife Society @wildlifesociety]

The August issue of JWM features research on gray wolf occupancy after a decade of harvest management. It also includes research on red deer genetics, differing responses to habitat management by New England and eastern cottontails 1/2

[Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative @Y2Y_Initiative]

Gathering data on grizzly bear connectivity is crucial for guiding conservation efforts for these majestic creatures. Understanding where they live, move and thrive helps shape a brighter future for grizzly bears — and for other wildlife nearby https://t.co/agZDZvRyaF

It has been a great week of #wolf work on the #tundra! Den surveys, collar retrieval, and new collar deployments help us learn more about this incredible system. @GNWT_ENR #NWT

Fall out from Mt. St. Helens caused a berry crop failure in Banff National Park, leading to a spike in human-bear conflicts in the summer of 1980.

A story well told by @SidMarty1

Thanks @_BCCOS for a fantastic #WHART! Our @GNWT_ECC team developed skills in predator response, animal evidence collection, and communications. Highly recommend!

[Wild Origins Canada @WildOriginsCan]

Today, the @wildsheepbc released the film Transmission and the collobrative effort in BC to prevent the deadly Movi bacteria being transferred from domestic sheep/goats to wild sheep.
