Alberta’s headwater forests are our natural infrastructure. Clear-cutting them puts clean water, wildlife, and healthy watersheds at risk. It’s time to put source water protection first. Learn more and join us in our call for new legislation at SaveOurSlopes.ca. #AbLeg #SaveOurSlopes #waterislife

Most ecological truths can never be proven—not because they’re false, but because life is too tangled, too nonlinear, too ancient and contingent to reduce to clean answers. Often, we don’t even know the right questions to ask.

Last week the AER approved Northback's application for new coal exploration on Grassy Mtn. That approval killed any hope that Northback might have for compensation. On the w/e premier Smith said Northback wd not be able to operate an open pit mine. This revives Northback's compensation claims. 1/2

I've been taking early walks in the park to watch and listen to birds for my sanity, and the Merlin Bird ID app has been indispensable for identifying bird songs. Merlin was funded by a grant from the NSF, the science funding agency that Trump is trying to destroy. www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/...
Screenshot of a bird sound identification app in use. The screen shows an audio recording at 27.3 seconds, with a green pause button at the center. Above the timer is a spectrogram visualizing the bird sounds as a series of dark and light horizontal and vertical patterns on a gray background. Below the timer, the app provides a list of "Best suggestions" for bird species based on the recording. The top suggestion, highlighted in yellow, is "Common Chiffchaff," with a thumbnail image of a small brownish bird. Other suggestions include "Great Tit" (a black, yellow, and white bird perched on a branch), "Rose-ringed Parakeet" (a green parrot with a red beak), and "European Robin" (a small bird with an orange-red breast). Each entry includes a small arrow for more information.
