Canada has officially banned the import and export of elephant ivory and rhino horns. But still no protections in place for our dwindling population of House Hippos!

We were #live with Minister Guilbeault as he discussed a stricter approach for international trade of certain #wildlife species across Canadian borders.

Tune in to watch it: https://t.co/JiaWhhgzeL.

@FogleBird Amazing. What type of camera did you use?

A record crushing +31C in Hay River, NWT yesterday and this is just the beginning. An extended heat wave will linger over Canada's north for 10 days or more. It's BY FAR the biggest deviations from normal anywhere on the planet.

Somewhere, very near you, is a tiny being, just going about their day.

They don’t care about you, or me, nor any of our worries.

And I find so much comfort in that 💚🐌

Gosh, when the high priced talents redevelop Tunneys Pasture, I hope they take a minute to look around and appreciate the green spaces it has been blessed with. #smartcities

If Holly (Ilex aquifolium) finds its leaves are being nibbled by deer, it switches genes on to make them spiky when they regrow. So on taller Holly trees, the upper leaves (which are out of reach) have smooth edges, while the lower leaves are prickly 🤙

In Ontario, today is the first day of Treaties Recognition Week.

We know Ontario would not exist without treaties.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

So let me get this straight: Two weeks ago, the Ontario government celebrated a new program that would provide free menstrual products for ALL Ontario students but...the program doesn't include First Nations schools?

This isn't something to celebrate. This is just cruel.

Orange Shirt Day — a National Day for Truth & Reconciliation.

Thinking of my dad today. Did the little boy sitting alone in St Mary’s Indian Residential School all those years ago ever think we would see a day like today?

On #September1st I want to let you all know that I grew up on a Rez where I was amongst the 1st generation not to attend the genocide camps known as Indian Residential Schools. This time of year triggers many survivors as it was when they had to leave home/families/culture etc.🧡

This is a story about one of the most powerful plants on Earth, the climate champion Sphagnum moss. This story is about science, discovery, & how much we have left to learn. Not about a distant planet, but a group of plants millions of years old that continues to astound us. 1/

A political organization representing 49 northern Ontario First Nations is again calling on the province to declare a state of emergency, and for Premier Doug Ford to have feet on the ground in the northwest.
