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... cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

New wildlife collision mitigation strategy? cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

Once again, proving the point that most women would choose to meet a bear in the forest. #manorbear bc.ctvnews.ca/bear-encounter…

@Interior I struggle with the anthropomorphizing of wildlife, but the positive is that when these celebrity individuals are killed it shines a light on the realities of the impact roads and habitat fragmentation have on wildlife populations. #bear399 #grizzly399

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. #TrailcamTuesday

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/upl… #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

@MattD_Hyde Congrats, so exciting!

@Kelly4rester proposed title: "what is a bear: bears did bear, bears be bear, but will bears still bear?"

#PSL, give me strength and clarity of mind for this @NSERC_CRSNG application 🙏🧘‍♂️

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.

@parchizadeh You sat at our banquet table on the last day and I tried to teach you the octopus dance aha

@apumphrey @IBAbearbiology I wonder why we did not meet at the conference! Did I ever come to you to introduce myself? I do not remember :)

10/10 week thus far at the International Bear Association Conference in Edmonton. Extra points to the posters with bear puns. @IBAbearbiology #IBAedmonton2024

Good to see people being held accountable. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

Amazing human dimension opportunity at @umontana umt.edu/coop-unit/sell…

Parks Canada confirmed Bear 122, aka The Boss, was spotted on Monday (March 18) – the first confirmed sighting in Banff of the year. rmoutlook.com/banff/the-boss…
