@pud333 Predator Free 2050 in NZ has always been a bit of an unattainable goal in my opinion so I guess you need to think outside the box and giving children weapons to kill cats is outside of my thinking box.

@cdrawn @beatymuseum @funnyfishes That is a bird pelvis. Possibly a cormorant? I can check at the @beatymuseum later today.

As the rainy season continues here in Vancouver, we’ve been busy at the lab processing images, while looking forward to next year’s field season! Here are some of our recent favorite #cameratrap images from Garibaldi Provincial Park and Joffre Lakes Provincial Park!

@moss_sphagnum @TRyanGregory @pacific_wren @beatymuseum I do believe it is a whale humerus. As to which species I’m not sure I have not seen one that is that stubby before. More research required…

Today is the last day of the @BCMuseumsAssn's AGM, so releasing a #museum-heavy, spooky episode of #OnEarth seemed very appropriate! pme.ubc.ca/learn/podcast/ @Gundobar

As we settle into a long rainy season here in Vancouver, warm summer days in the field aren’t far from our thoughts here at WildCo! From the South Chilcotin Mountains to Cathedral Provincial Park, and many places in between, a day in the field is a day well spent!🏔🌲📸

Bob’s Blog: “At around 10 p.m., the firemen knocked on doors telling everyone the area was to be evacuated NOW. ‘You can stay if you like, but we will need to know your next of kin,’ said one of them. I chose to leave.” cbc.ca/1.6171028

Yesterday was World Nature Conservation Day! We’re celebrating a day late by highlighting some recent trips to the field. @cole_burton snapped these pictures of him and @catsunbear on a recent trip to Itcha Ilgachuz, the view makes a nice reward for a long day in the field!
