Congratulations Karine Aigner, Wildlife Photographer of the Year! 🏆 In her bee-level close-up, all except one are males and they are intent on mating with the single female at the centre. Like most bees, they are threatened by habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change. #WPY58

Follow the scientists leading this long-term study of Canada Jays in Algonquin Park to hear about their ongoing work: @FuirstGlance, @KyleParkinson8, @kyko1120, @RyanNorrisSci & @perisoreus1!

‘Since the 1960s, the Algonquin population of jays has been studied by monitoring territories and following individual jays marked with leg bands. Alarmingly, researchers have watched this population decline by over 50% in the last few decades.’

‘Researchers have gathered at Algonquin Wildlife Research Station for over 78 years to study the natural world.
This long-term monitoring can reveal how populations are changing over time, especially in response to climate change.'

Keep up with the ongoing study on these salamander-eating pitcher plants by following @AlgonquinWRS & project lead @Amanda_RaeS!
30 Jun 2022
‘For a plant that is used to capturing relatively tiny invertebrate prey, a juvenile spotted salamander is a hefty feast!
These northern pitcher plants in Algonquin Provincial Park are the first to be found regularly consuming vertebrate prey!’

Spent 6 months on this investigation, it was a true team effort. One source says the conservation world gets less scrutiny because of the assumption everyone is doing “good work.”
"I think we have a bit of moral blindness about that."
That's what we looked into.

“He put us all in danger.”
More than a dozen former Pacific Wild workers allege co-founder Ian McAllister bullied staff, drank on the job and neglected safety protocols, fostering a toxic culture that put them, and wildlife, at risk. Our investigation: thenarwhal.ca/pacific-wild-i…
