I would rather be among forest animals and the sounds of nature, than among city traffic and the noise of man.

Dear Santa, please watch over wildlife who are cold, hungry, and displaced. And help protect the wild places they need to survive.

A century ago, Chinook salmon could weigh over 70 pounds. Today, a 30 pound Chinook is considered a big catch. Modern fishing practices have shaped salmon evolution over time, leading fish to mature earlier and at smaller sizes. Watch the video: www.raincoast.org/2025/12/hone...

Chinook salmon are getting smaller, and one explanation is uncomfortably familiar.

Meet Shirleen, a 900-pound #leatherback turtle and an epic traveler.

Thanks to satellite tracking by the Loggerhead Marinelife Center, we now know more about where she goes.

Leatherbacks are endangered – they need our help but, meanwhile, #GoShirleen!

Scientists on BC’s coast caught a wolf pulling a rope to get fish from crab traps set by the Heiltsuk Nation to control invasive green crabs. This may be the first wild wolf to show multi-step “string pulling” behavior, highlighting their intelligence & adaptability: www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
Video shows a wild wolf stealing fish in possible first use of a tool
The wolf “appears to demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of the multistep connection between the floating buoy and the bait within the out-of-sight trap,” scientists said.

Wolf 1331F thrived in Yellowstone. Outside the park, she faced a deadly reality: hunters and no protections. Thousands of Northern Rockies wolves face the same fate, often unnoticed. Their stories deserve to be told, and all wolves deserve protection no matter where they roam.
