'This list,
of the greatest albums made by women between 1964 and the present, is
an intervention, a remedy, a correction of the historical record, and
hopefully the start of a new conversation.'

Today has special meaning as it’s Jack Miner’s birthday, ... a Canadian conservationist often called the father of North American conservationism. "Wild Goose Jack" ... was one of the first conservationists to determine the migratory paths of North American birds. In 1947, Canada's National Wildlife Week Act passed unanimously to be observed annually during the week of Jack’s birth, April 10 each year.
Today we honour Jack’s work by promoting our third annual Bird Impact Reduction Day (BIRD) in collaboration with FLAP Canada.... Unfortunately, bird populations face many obstacles, including habitat loss, predation from Canada’s cat populations, and often fatal collisions with windows'.

Today’s conservation focus is all about Canada’s greatest resource--... [our] freshwater system. Canadians have a deep connection to freshwater; we rely on it for everything from transportation to food and employment. National Wildlife Week presents a great opportunity to rediscover all the reasons why water is our most important resource. Click through to our page to find waves of information on freshwater, including simple things you can do to reduce your plastic footprint and some interesting facts about the salmon, our showcase species today.'

Few countries have histories as closely tied to the oceans as Canada. There’s a rich biodiversity that exists along Canada’s coasts.... Discover [how you can reduce] plastic, and take a quiz designed to teach you more about the Canadian Marine Animal Rescue Alliance.... There’s also some great reading in our species spotlight on the majestic North Atlantic Right Whale. '

🌻 Friday the 13th--Should Pollinators Be Fearful?
It’s Friday the 13th, but today is your lucky day if you’re interested in pollinators! Pollination is one of the most important processes on the planet.... From planting pollinator friendly gardens to buying organic foods, your actions have a big impact on the birds, bees, butterflies, and moths that help pollination occur.'

Our Connection with Wildlife
Of all the reasons you can find to develop an intimate connection with the natural world, here’s the most important reason: connecting with nature is good for human health. In fact, the Helsinki Alert of Biodiversity and Health report confirmed that a lack of exposure to nature contributes to human illness. Authors of this 2015 report suggest that the 'our disconnection from nearby nature is a prime reason why allergies, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory bowel disease and even some forms of cancer have become epidemics. The same is true for mental disorders, such as anxiety and depression.'
Thankfully, Canada has an abundance of nature to connect with. The best prescription for your personal wellbeing physically, emotionally, and spiritually might just be a healthy dose of nature. And best of all, it’s free! Connect with nature, and reconnect with yourself!
