While hiking in Kananaskis, I came across two grizzly cubs with their mother behind them. She saw me. I stepped off the trail and backed away. Realizing I wasn’t a threat, she carried on down the trail with her cubs #andnothinghappened #abbearencounters @elmeligisarah @dtloewen
Suspiciously same timeframe Disney filmed a doc about the "Arctic" in the Bow Valley and filmed throwing live lemmings off a cliff into the Bow River claiming it as natural behaviour... 😅 (lemmings don't live in the Bow Valley & yes they all died) rb.gy/p9n1mi

Basically impossible to drive at night without wearing sunglasses. These new headlights are blinding. Incredibly dangerous. Insane that this is allowed while so many more minor car design features are prohibited on safety grounds.
Watch out, Vancouver Island, the bears are learning to play your games...

It's rare to see wolverines, so it's no surprise that population info in Alberta is sparse.
But if you're lucky enough to spot them or their sign, you can help! Submit your observation to WolverineWatch.org, a group filling in some of those data gaps.

Another exciting PhD opportunity in human-wildlife interactions. Interdisciplinary project focused on urban wildlife and human-carnivore interactions (coyotes, raccoons) with Kelli Larson at @ASU . www5.iasnr.org/wp-content/up… #phd #humanwildlife #humandimensions
Stumbled upon this sweet PhD opportunity for those into human-wildlife interactions! Policy, stakeholder engagement, and wildlife coexistence strategies in the Netherlands...if only I were fluent in dutch... wildlifenl.nl/en/vacancies @nwa_WildlifeNL

Managing human-bear conflict is complex. That's why we have a detailed, well researched recovery plan to inform management. When @dtloewen chooses to instill fear in people, he's ignoring the recovery plan, input from experts, and not moving us closer to coexistence.
10/10 week thus far at the International Bear Association Conference in Edmonton. Extra points to the posters with bear puns. @IBAbearbiology #IBAedmonton2024

An excellent in depth @thenarwhalca article on Heli-skiing impacts on endangered southern mountain caribou home ranges in the COVID-19 pandemic - & a bit of a tired industry anti-science response. thenarwhal.ca/bc-heli-skiing…
