After a lengthy court battle, we're devastated that the federal court greenlit the #RBT2 expansion project. This will increase traffic by 50% in the Fraser River Estuary, a #biodiversity hotspot crucial for the survival of many species, including the endangered #orcas.

At this week's BC First Nations Forestry Conference, Indigenous leaders called on the province to implement the First Nations Forest Strategy as a first step in instilling UNDRIP in BC's forest industry. @bcfnfc @TheTyee #bcpoli https://t.co/CpHzhdfRlW

What is conservation? How do we realize it? And who gets to answer these questions?

My last piece for @CapitalDailyVic goes beyond bikes. And at the end of writing it, I only have more questions than I did going in. Which is pretty "knarly" tbh.

It felt good to pen down my thoughts on the privilege of vaccine shopping - available to a select few nations - in @TheTyee. Public health experts @awong37 & @srinmurthy99 talk about the potential reasons for and solutions to this trend globally.

Check it out...

Vaccine shopping? 🛍 The rest of the world doesn’t have that choice. @fferns25 writes.

Skye spent her short life in eight different foster homes, with 18 different social workers.

There are parallels between Skye’s story and the lives of the 215 children whose remains were discovered at #KamloopsResidentialSchool, says one advocate.

Spent four hours contacting #wildlife rescuers and the #MumbaiFireBrigade to help rescue a pigeon stuck high up in the tree outside my home. Its wings and claws were entangled in a kite manja mesh. The fire officials finally arrived to collect its lifeless body.

[Freny Fernandes @fferns25]

@HughesWithMe Wonderful story Andrew!
