The Loggerhead 🐢 is one of the 6 hard-shelled #turtle species, and this is the first #genome released for this species! The #Loggerhead genome is 62% the size of the human genome!
We look forward to this reference genome informing #conservation efforts of these amazing #Canadian turtles!

As the sun rises, our rescued orphans venture into the wilderness. Guided by their Keepers, they spend the day exploring and learning the skills they will need to live as wild elephants.

Just watched @labourlewis.bsky.social's powerful speech on his Water Bill, raising the fundamental question that’s been ignored for too long: who should own our water?

It’s time to bring water back into public hands.

@amarjeetsohiyeg.bsky.social the Mayor of Edmonton has reports by leading experts spanning a decade that Lucy 🐘suffers a living hell.
For anyone wanting to read these incredible 🐘reports here is the link. #yeg #Alberta #news

#Not all wounds heal some we carry with us for the rest of our lives.
It seems impossible to comprehend with 🐘experts lining up to inform #YEG that #Lucy is capable of 🧳 to #Sanctuary why they choose to only believe zoo orientated vets who’s job it is to keep her in captivity is disturbing.

We need to demand that the next leader of the Liberal Party commits to enforcing laws meant to protect Lucy & ensures Lucy gets the care she desperately needs.

🙏 📧 the candidates in pic & ask:

Will you commit to enforcing existing laws to ensure Lucy is sent to a sanctuary 👇

Sorry if it’s a silly question but

Is this budget affected by the success or failure of city councils ?

Eg if Edmonton council wasted say 181 million is that Edmontons problem or in some way does it affect the provinces budget

1/ Tabling Event at a dance competition (don’t have to 💃)
LEAP has a table reserved at the blow event; this is another good opportunity for locals to step in to advocate for Lucy.

Needed Volunteers for a four hour shift (anytime between 3:00 & 11:00) to be at the LEAP table.
