Simon Wiebe, mining & policy impacts researcher for Wildsight, said the penalties were a good start but came nowhere close the level required to deter further pollution.

“They made over $13 billion in profit over the same time period. The fines are really not large enough,” he said.

B.C. coal giant penalized millions for treatment delays, 171 pollution breaches

EVR Operations Limited — formally Teck Coal Limited — was penalized more than $3.6 million after failing to curb nitrate and selenium pollution

My previous episode of Wild Revelstoke: Animals & Us examined hoary marmots & why they’re such an iconic alpine species that Whistler was even named after!

However, studies highlight more research is needed to see how climate change is affecting their mountain habitat 🦫

Side note: if you have newsy stories about how biodiversity is being affected by the Trump administration's policies--ideally stories rooted in ongoing scientific research--let me know.

Do you work in conservation science, particularly outside the U.S.? Did you lose your job or funding for your job because of cuts to U.S. federal agencies? Do you want to talk about it? DM me please. (This is for a @biographic.bsky.social story)

This week is National Forest Week in Canada.
B.C. harbours some of the world's most ancient and vibrant forests — home to species not found anywhere else on the planet.

We'd love to celebrate by seeing some of your favourite forest images, or hearing about your favourite forest memories.

It's not enough to build #RenewableEnergy projects in the North – these projects must be supported by long term local capacity by empowering local leadership and training.
