A fierce carnivore with a taste for winged prey... it has been known to take down birds as big as chickens. Pretty impressive for a bird only slightly larger than a sparrow! Thanks for letting us take on Nature Canada's species of the month blog again! naturecanada.ca/news/blog/nort…

💧 Wetlands are some of the most productive engines of the planet’s biodiversity. 🦋 An estimated 40 percent of the world’s biodiversity are found in wetlands. 🌍 Protecting and restoring wetlands is essential.

New report: Two #Caribou herds will be wiped out under the Alberta government's draft Upper Smoky Sub-regional Plan. The government knows this. Its own data shows this plan is not compatible with recovery. This is an extinction plan. shorturl.at/PjzHS #abpoli
