Animal road crossings can ensure safe passage across dangerous highways for migrating animals as many travel through fractured habitat.
This is a collective space for people to share ideas, information and science.
Our goal is to raise awareness and increase literacy on biodiversity loss in Canada while emphasizing the need for immediate action. Our planet is currently facing a sixth mass extinction. Scientists have estimated that a number of species are at risk of disappearing 1,000 to 10,000 times their natural extinction rate with nearly 1 million species already threatened with extinction. If WE LIVE IN HARMONY WITH BIODIVERSITY and WORK WITH NATURE’S SYSTEMS, species will thrive, including humans.
Ecosystem services enhance our wellbeing and freely provide the essentials for human survival like clean water, pure air, and nourishing soil.
Wetlands protect biodiversity, help communities adapt to a changing climate and are an essential part of our Canadian landscape.
Art has the ability to convey science in compelling ways which is why Leanne Cadden has joined NET as our artist-in-residence.
Co-benefits for biodiversity take place when strategies that are not directly related to conservation and enhancement help biodiversity.
Tracking plants, mammals, fish, amphibians, and invertebrates in Canada will help us better understand changes in biodiversity.
A reflection on “The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins” by Anna Tsing.
Habitat connectivity is incredibly important for many fish species during their migration from oceans and lakes, up rivers to spawn, feed and grow.
A keystone species is a plant, animal, fungi, or even bacteria that has a disproportionately large impact on their ecosystem.
Most species at risk of extinction are in the tropics. That's why we should act globally as well as locally when it comes to tackling biodiversity loss.
Canada is close to meeting our 2020 biodiversity goals and targets in which 17% of land and 10% of marine areas are protected, but we can do even better.
A new Indigenous Protected and Conserved area in British Columbia, known as Qat-Muk, was just announced. This a major win for conservation in Canada.
