My friend Iris has been dealing with cancer. Living in the small remote northern community of Łutsël K’é means she has to fly to Yellowknife and Edmonton for treatment. All this travel and costs take its toll, so please consider donating so Iris can focus her energy instead on healing. Please share!
Not me! You missed an “e” in the correct Claudia’s account I think.
Pretty blown away to have been selected for the 2025 Pathfinders: Conservation Leaders cohort. Looking forward to meeting everyone soon and learning together to be better stewards of the land. www.compassscicomm.org/meet-the-202...
A must read article! It details so much of what I've been feeling since I was involved in a wildfire evacuation in 2023. Then dealing with trying to keep working in conservation with this feelings of despair hanging over me. We need to keep fighting for change.

Such an uplifting meeting. Was honoured to be asked to attend and you can see the joy in my face when we took this photo.

And if you wanted something French, I did an interview along with some of our team with the local French newspaper too talking about our collaboration. Starting on page 3.

Then before the webinar I posted before, a few of our team including me did interviews with CBC North around the importance of collaboration for our work:

I did this interview with CBC North around a story on one specific camera on the tundra that then got taken down by a grizzly bear.

I’ve got some written media interviews. How about that?
Lots of agencies came together for this one and attendance was great. Meant to showcase the work being done by communities themselves, braided with the Western scientists that took part and supported.
Meaningful because it's in Dënesųłıné Yatı, to reach Elders in the community and is primarily an oral language. We added English subtitles to contribute to language revitalization since, as many Indigenous languages are, it's at risk from ongoing effects of colonization & residential schools.
And we did this webinar as part of a series through Aurora Research Institute along with Sambaa K'e First Nation and Fort Smith Métis Council.

Hi Aerin. Frances was nice enough to tag me in this but I missed it for a long time! Did you still want this? I've got quite a few to share.
Interesting #cameratrap 📸 study by Murphy & Luja, finding evidence of bias in density estimates caused by non-circular home-ranges.
Key take-home:
❗Consider the anisotropic detection function if your camera trap array is elongated in one direction.

Nice! I've been doing this for years!
This is totally it! I’ve had this same issue all my life.
I live in a fairy forest!
Neat! Great way to build a community.
So proud to support the Łutsël K’é Dene First Nation with this video in Dënesųłıné Yatı with English subtitles on Biodiversity Monitoring in Thaıdene Nëné Indigenous Protected Area. The purpose to meaningfully engage with Elders and support language revitalization. Enjoy!!
