Horrendous news out of Banff.

The moment we have all been waiting for!!! Parks Canada shares this photo, taken yesterday, of The Boss who has woken up and is on the move in Banff National Park.

Amazing!!

Unsustainable forestry practices are causing a chain reaction of disasters across BC. A recent study confirms that clearcutting is linked to an increase in landslides, heightened risk of wildfires, and creates warmer, more drought-prone rivers. Learn more here: www.biv.com/news/nearly-...

WATCH: Will our #wildlife survive this UCP government? It's not just the fence. #mla #banffkananaskis #shadowminister #environment #protectedareas #ableg #apoli

I am astonished that this is going forward without proper wildlife crossing structures.

The full cougar story from start to now...listen to the whole thing on @thefurbearers.bsky.social Defender Radio podcast. Please help us get the word out by sharing.

This is simply NOT acceptable. The gov't of AB has completely ignored the regional plans for these areas and plans to clearcut a huge swatch of critical caribou habitat, which will doom two of our remaining threatened herds.

Another example of a hunting lobby group (MB Wildlife Federation) working against real conservation initiatives. Much like the BCWF and the ABWF, these organizations are first and foremost about protecting land access privileges and hunting privileges, even if it affects conservation proposals.

This is 100% the guy I want leading us forward into this battle.

The Truth about Snares - Trapped in the Past Part I focuses on killing neck snares, the science and the ethics behind this cruel and archaic trapping device that is still used in Canada and the US despite being banned in more than 85 countries worldwide. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8zR...

A little lynx action! This gorgeous kitten (almost full-grown) posed for me for a few minutes.

A little Jasper action recently. Nice to see a bull moose still holding onto his antlers this late!

On Canadian fur farms, animals endure unimaginable suffering, taxpayers foot the bill, and our health and the environment are at stake - all for the sake of fashion. The truth needs to be revealed. Our short film, Canadian Fur Farms: Exposed, is coming soon. youtu.be/JgKmxYmzmeA

Who’s a magnificent fellow!? 💕 Great shot!

I post a lot of conservation-related stuff, so here's a handsome pic of the legendary Frank the Tank in the Khutzeymateen.

The UCP is making it easier and easier to kill things. Yes, psychopathic, cowardly and cruel. Hunting for food is the only hunting that should exist. And all of the animal should be used.

Interested in trophy hunting? Here is an article you may want to read: jslnhl.substack.com/p/trophy-hun...

Fragile male egos and a love for killing things. Are trophy hunters psychos or conservationists concerned about wildlife management? jslnhl.substack.com/p/trophy-hun...

Can't wait to get out to the Khutzeymateen again this year. Here's the infamous Log Bear working his 'magic' on Heidi.

Minister Loewen at it again with his latest changes to the Wildlife Act.

We're among the 14 enviro groups urging federal party leaders to ensure that U.S. tariff relief measures do not lead to the increased destruction of Canada’s primary and old-growth forests. Read the release here: naturecanada.ca/news/press-r... #oldgrowthforests #cdnpoli 🌏

Minister Loewen had previous financial interest in a hunter guide outfitting business which is now owned by his son. These outfits are benefitting financially from increased hunting, which is in keeping with the UCP's pattern of corruption to reap personal benefits across ministries.

A gorgeous Alberta grizzly bear in the dandelions today. Enjoy!

Huge congrats to Canada's 11th province on recognizing The Gulf Of Connor McDavid. Premier Trump will be sending out a press release shorty.

Absolutely disgusting.

If you are able, please support this organization. Alberta is a province that is in serious need of wildlife conservation reform. John Marriott is doing some heavy lifting on behalf of wildlife.

The gorgeous female cougar that was killed by a guide and hunter in Canmore last week for a $7K bounty paid by a US trophy hunting org.. For details, visit my IG and FB, and to help, donate to @exposedwildlife.bsky.social at www.exposedwc.org CBC article: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Another wildly talented wildlife photographer has joined us. Brittany takes (among other things) some of the most amazing fox photos I have ever seen. If you love wildlife, I highly recommend giving her a follow! #wildlife
