🌿 Today, we're kicking off #CanadianWildlifeWeek by sharing about the Wilder Canada Action Plan! It's our roadmap to recovery and targets species-at-risk with specific conservation translocation actions. 🐾 Together, we can make the world a wilder place. https://t.co/nfEQtEYx0X
🌿 Kicking off #CanadianWildlifeWeek!
Over 1/3 of species at risk globally need targeted action to survive—and in Canada, 40%+ include conservation translocations in recovery plans. 🐾
The Wilder Canada Action Plan is our roadmap to species recovery: https://t.co/AP2wgMmZX8
As #CanadianWildlifeWeek wraps up, our bear-y sleepy friends are starting to stir from their winter slumber! 🐻 Black and grizzly bears enter torpor—a lighter sleep than hibernation—so they can occasionally wake up to check the weather or defend their dens.

It looks like we have a case of mistaken identity! One of our great grey owls found a comfy perch on our rough-legged hawk sign. 🦉

Polar bears are the largest bear species and largest land carnivores! Compared to other bears, they have an elongated body, long neck, and small head. These features allow them to move swiftly while keeping their head above water when swimming.
