Caught in the act: one bear, one itch, zero shame.

The #ReconnectingtheRockies project uses remote cameras to learn more about how to best protect ecological connectivity in BC and AB for bears and other species.

Because every bear deserves a return ticket to their favorite tree in the woods. 🐻🌲

We were out in the field in early July checking our remote cameras and ARUs for the #PronghornXing project.

These tools help us monitor birds and wildlife that could benefit from improved ecological connectivity in the area.

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. 😎

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!

🌟 Wildlife Connectivity in Focus 🌟
We’re using remote cameras to monitor pronghorn activity at potential road mitigation sites 🦌 and discovering what other species might benefit from enhanced connectivity in the area! 🌿

🎥 Check out our latest video to see who we caught on camera 📸

#CalgaryConnect has shown in areas where there is lots of human activity, most animals avoid the area altogether or shift their use to nighttime. Staying on designated human use trails and staying out of natural areas at night, we can all help wildlife stay comfortable and safe.

Urban wildlife use fantastic strategies to avoid conflict with humans! Our research confirms that in areas where more people are using trails during the day, many wildlife species in Calgary are shifting their behavior to use the area at night.

Over 5 years of wildlife monitoring, 80% of #CalgaryConnect images were people and their pets! Other top users were white-tailed and mule deer (14%) and coyote (5%)
