🚨 Tex the Grizzly Needs Your Voice! 🚨 Tex is a 4-year-old bear caught in a broken system—labeled a threat under BC’s outdated policies, despite no confirmed harm. The Mamalilikulla First Nation offered him sanctuary, but the province won’t budge. Take action: buff.ly/XsybCLJ 📸 by Martin Davis

📢Our wildlife is for everyone to enjoy! Recent decisions have loosened hunting and trapping rules in Alberta, putting several species at risk. These decisions are not based in science. Learn more about this issue from AWA conservation specialist on July 8! albertawilderness.ca/product/summ... 🌎

A little grizzly bear action from northern BC. Enjoy!

BEYOND LOCAL: 'He was like my big brother': Friend identifies second victim of Banff rockfall

WATCH VIDEO: ‘MAY 7: Questionable Engagement’ EMAIL: Ask Todd Loewen why he didn't provide clear answers in the legislature when asked specific questions about who he met and consulted with before changing hunting regulations. E: [email protected] CC: [email protected]

Loewen lied, then lied again and again and again about the cougar hunt and the Canmore cougar incident: thenarwhal.ca/alberta-coug...

The worst of our premiers, no question

Alberta's cougar hunt was based on science, esp the double-quota system that closed an area if the female quota was filled. Loewen forced an increase in quotas after, apparently, checking with his buddies and ignoring science. As he did for G-bears and mountain goats thenarwhal.ca/alberta-coug...

Absolutely not acceptable. Minister Loewen lied and lied again, and now we have proof.

Everyone in Alberta is talking about the UCP's raucous #Coal town hall. Let's bust 3 Myths about #coalmining I heard last night. Keep loud Alberta! #coalmining #shadowminister #environment #protectedareas #ableg #abpoli

June 1976: Alberta 'Coal Development Policy' adopted June 2020: UCP government rescinds it Feb. 2021: UCP reinstates it June 2021: AER rejects Grassy Mountain project March 2022: UCP orders "no new applications" for coal Sept. 2023: AER accepts new applications for Grassy Mtn June 2025:

Incredible. Brian Jean said this at the Fort McLeod Coal Town Hall. His Fort McMurray house burned in the 2016 fire and his new house was flooded out in 2020. But he's lecturing citizens who are upset that coal mining might contaminate their drinking water? financialpost.com/pmn/alberta-...

This is absolutely horrifying for Alberta public citizens. We are already seeing this with freedom of information requests and this Bill would push this right over the edge, where we'd never get information again from public servants, especially politicians.

Meet Zeus, another one of the Khutzeymateen's big boys. He's not quite as big or as mean-looking as Reacher, but Zeus put in a hard few weeks worth of work this spring courting three different females, including taking over with Big Mum after Reacher moved on.

This is a great chart. I know lots of people are questioning reality right now, but you're memory of living in Calgary as a child is correct. We did not have week long smoke events. It simply didn't happen.

Two Florida fisherman stories in two weeks: One posted a video of himself repeatedly stabbing a shark, the other shot 5 dolphins and poisoned 24-70 more… both because they want predators to stop eating fish they believe they are entitled to. Keep in mind these are just the guys who got caught.

Environment and Climate Change Canada released its summer forecast today, predicting warmer than normal conditions across most of the country. Notably, "normal" is considered 1991-2020, which for Canada is ~1-2 C warmer than the pre-industrial climate.

That is good news for the one owl that is left. Man, what a joke we are when it comes to endangered species...

Wolf 840M, a gray male wolf, lived longer than any of the 1,500+ wolves tracked in Wyoming since reintroduction began 30 years ago. Collared in 2012, he avoided traps and cameras, roaming the Teton Range. His incredible survival reflects the legacy of a truly savvy wild wolf. bit.ly/4dWIPKp

"The room was divided literally and metaphorically. Cowboy hats were donned with a convincing frequency. The suits filling the front row were in stark contrast." As AWA gears up for more coal hearings, read about Kennedy Halvorson's 20 minutes in front of the AER last December: shorturl.at/viDVB 🌎

I wonder why we don't do more of [email protected]

Ewe M4, transplanted from Cadomin as a yearling, is 19 yrs old, tying the longevity record. She has no incisors left. In good shape at 64 Kg. She has weaned 6 lambs and has many live descendants, but has not reproduced in the last 4 years. #LongTerm
