Let’s celebrate #WorldWaterDay! Water isn’t just a habitat for fish—it’s also crucial for many migratory birds. Shorebirds like Red Knots and Piping Plovers rely on us to keep their lake and ocean beaches clean and free of disturbances.

Roberta Bondar made history in 1992 as the first Canadian woman in space, proving that the sky is never the limit. Today, women continue to shape Canada’s space story, working on missions as astronauts, scientists, and engineers. 📷: NASA

This photo was taken by a participant of our Wilderness Bondar Challenge, a yearly expedition to Wood Buffalo National Park. Among nesting whooping cranes and free-roaming wood bison, students learn from the land and develop their photography skills.

Scientists use bands to identify Piping Plovers and track their migration patterns. This Plover has an orange band on its upper leg, meaning that it comes from the Great Lakes population. The colour and arrangement of the other bands indicate the brood (or family) it comes from.
