Grateful to get to share the Wildland Foundations project at the WRCC Building Foundational Knowledge Gathering last week! biodiversitypathways.ca/our-initiati...

Join us Oct. 15 at noon MT to learn how remote cameras and GPS collars are revealing wildlife movement patterns along Highway 3. Researchers will share insights on animal crossings — and how we can make journeys for all safer through this landscape. Register: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

What goes on Biodiversity Pathways? Read our latest annual report to find out! Learn about mammal research and monitoring led by the Wildlife Science Centre; environmental sensor research with SENSR; and human footprint mapping by the Geospatial Centre. biodiversitypathways.ca/annual-repor...

Ever wondered if bats are in your neighbourhood? 🦇 Alberta libraries now offer borrowable "Bat Kits"! Each kit has a detector & resources to help you listen for bats. Check your library (and ask about inter-library loans) or learn more: www.albertabats.ca/batkits/

The Wildland Foundations project aims to understand the impact of #wildfire on wildlife, habitat, and forest structure; cultural sites; and Indigenous use of traditional lands in four NRCAN-funded demonstration sites. Take a tour of the project: biodiversitypathways.ca/our-initiati...

We're #hiring! We’re looking for skilled animal identifiers! Work remotely and process images and recordings from environmental sensors using the WildTrax platform. You will be the essential link between field work and results! sensr.ca/opportunity/... #environmentaljobs #wildlife

The southern Rocky Mountains provide a critical but narrow connection between grizzly #bear populations in North America. In a #newpaper, over twenty years of GPS collar data was used to understand where bears go and why in the southern Rocky Mountains. tinyurl.com/3kbfsvcu

Not gonna lie, it’s pretty cool! So grateful for everything in my PhD that led me here.

HawkEars, a new AI tool that identifies Canadian birds and amphibians in audio recordings, could improve how ecologists monitor and study wildlife. Learn about its development and its potential on CBC's Edmonton AM in "AI for the birds": www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

We have installed 80 wildlife cameras in SW Alberta to monitor wildlife near Highway 3! This was a big effort by our project team and we look forward to sharing project updates and results... and fun wildlife photos. 😎 @claytontlamb.bsky.social @ncccnc.bsky.social @y2y.bsky.social

Reconnecting the Rockies - BC is focused on improving motorist and wildlife safety on Highway 3 in SE BC. Already, 8.4 km of fencing has been installed and 6 underpasses have been retrofitted to allow for wildlife movement! @ncccnc.bsky.social @biodivpathways.bsky.social @claytontlamb.bsky.social

Over the next five years, the Government of Alberta is building #wildlife crossing structures along Highway 3 — and we're part of a team studying how animals use these crossings. Wildlife scientist Clayton Lamb shares more about the project on CBC Daybreak South: www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

🎉 If you've worked with Wildlife Science Centre caribou ecologist @melaniedickie.bsky.social, you won't be surprised she received the Governor General Gold Medal for Academic Excellence for her PhD research! Nor will you be surprised by the Taylor Swift reference. science.ok.ubc.ca/2025/06/06/d...

I'm super excited to step into this new role! For 20 years, BAM has made enormous contributions to boreal bird conservation; I am deeply honoured to steward and continue those contributions as part of the Biodiversity Pathways family. We've got lots of exciting collaborative work on the horizons!

This April, we welcomed the Boreal Avian Modelling Project (now Centre!) to Biodiversity Pathways! We are pleased to announce that @ellycknight.bsky.social has taken on the new role of Operational Director at BAM for this next chapter. biodiversitypathways.ca/bam-joins-bp/

AI is moving faster than the publication process. If a paper is rejected, it’s virtually obsolete because scientists are onto the next model generation. This @naturemethods.bsky.social was fun to report! Thx to @sarameghanbeery.bsky.social @ellycknight.bsky.social @conservationxlabs.bsky.social!

Had a blast today on a panel with Mateen Hessami from @biodivpathways.bsky.social and @jennbonnell.bsky.social at the BC Studies conference at sunny UBC. We covered wildlife history, the North American Model, and why all roads lead to moose!

The BC Ministry of Transportation and Transit (MOTT) is working with SENSR to understand how animals use wildlife crossing structures across BC. Wildlife crossing structures not only help wildlife move across the landscape but also improve road safety. sensr.ca/story/crossi...
