You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.

Nice chatting about this important Indigenous-led initiative, and great work Dustin. Looking forward to seeing this project unfold!

@rwritextinction I’m a Wildlife Biologist working to conserve caribou in Canada by negotiating agreements with key partners to protect the boreal forest. This isn’t my story, this is the caribou’s story about why land conservation is critical for these and other boreal species. #ReLoveThePlanet

@ZelenskyyUa Sending you love and prayers. Thank you for being so brave for the people of Ukraine.

@cmckenney Thank you so much for standing up and speaking for our community at the emergency @ottawacity council meeting today on the #OttawaOccupation. You killed it. You’re a hero. #ottcity #OttawaConvoy #OttawaPoliceFailed #ottawaCounterProtest

[Ottawa Humane Society @ottawahumane]

(1/2) Reports are coming from downtown about dogs and horses that have been brought into the protest. For any animal, prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures, loud noises, road salt on paws or hooves, and inadequate access to food and water can threaten an animal’s wellbeing.

[Nature Communications @NatureComms]

An experimental study finds that birds and bats avoid whitewater river noise, and that intense noise reduces bird foraging activity and causes bats to switch hunting strategies.

New study by Boycott et al. 2021 shows acoustic cues reduce #birdcollisions with buildings. I’ve always been curious to know how this could work with ultrasound, which would be less intrusive to humans but could have effects on other taxa. https://t.co/5QWjqbh1RP @PLOSONE

@GregMercerGlobe I’ve been waiting for this 🙏

[Amanda D. @letitbeamandad]

The cardinal in #SurvivingDeath episode 4 on #Netflix clearly showed signs of injury from a #buildingcollision, which kills 1 billion birds/year in North America. It likely flew off and died, but people on the show were too preoccupied with it being a ghost to notice . 🙄
