UNBELIEVABLE Distances That Animals Travel for Survival
Просмотров 55121 час назад
Wildlife needs a surprising amount of space for habitat, food, mates, and refuge areas. In this video, we go over 3 examples of animals that have travelled huge distances and the conservation initiatives that have been created as a result. National aprks and other protected areas are a step in the right direction, but connected landscapes are needed to support wildlife movement on the landscape...
Saving SEA OTTERS From Extinction…Is This a Good Thing?
Просмотров 2,9 тыс.14 дней назад
Over hunting drove Sea Otters in British Columbia, Canada to the brink of extinction in the early 1900s. Efforts from multiple government agencies have revied sea otter populations, created habitat, and improved biodiversity. However, the return of sea otters has meant reductions in traditional foods for coastal Indigenous communities. In this video we explore the successes and challenges of th...
Bringing BISON Back to Canada's FIRST National Park

Human activity is causing the Arctic Ocean to become louder, and this has devastating impacts for marine life and surrounding Indigenous communities that depend on the wildlife for traditional food. Acoustic monitoring and policy change are important steps to protect the iconic species.

Wildlife Partnerships that Are SAVING ANIMALS

Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship in nature where both species benefit from the partnership. THis is formed over long periods of co-evolution. THis can help wildlife find food, mates, shelter, habitat, and occupy otherwise difficult to access niches.

    I heard "Ontario" so I decided to map the drive to this conservation area from my home in Michigan. Less than a 4.5 hour drive. Michigan's Upper Peninsula is further! People in Detroit or Flint are even closer, especially if they can easily get to the Blue Water Bridge. Gosh, when I was a kid, you didn't even need a passport. Now I have a reason to get one!

    2:15 The near-extinction of bison in North America was not simply a matter of "overhunting." It was a deliberate and calculated effort tied to the displace the Indigenous peoples. Framing their near-extinction as mere "overhunting" erases the violent colonial history tied to this tragedy. Acknowledging this history is essential for reconciliation and justice.

    Super cool! I had no idea about these cranes. I'm relatively new to your RUclips channel so I don't know what animals you've already covered. Personally it would be fantastic to get informative videos on polar bears, black bears, elk, deer, wild turkeys, ducks, lions, puffins, and so much more here in Canada.

    At 11:55, right after the cave spiders, I can see clear indications of sedementary rock. I looked it up and found that the rock there on half of the site is called the Amabel Formation and sits along the Niagara Escarpment. That rock layer contains crinoidal grainstones and biohermal dolostone, aka, ordivician marine fossils circa 419-439 million years old. Time to get familliar with crinoid fossils I guess 😁 I winder how many loose rocks are left there from the quarry days?

    • @DavidBysouth

    @puravidadew7031 8 дней назад

    What an absolutely stupid title when you ask (is it a good thing to bring back sea otters? ) bringing back any animal that has been devastated by humanity is a good thing. Before Europeans came to North America there was no problem with sea otters because they were part of the ecosystem as all other animals are. Human beings are the problem.

    • @DavidBysouth
      @DavidBysouth 8 дней назад

      The title is meant to convey that conservation work isn’t black and white. Even if the underlying premise of the project is a net positive, there are inherently challenges that can arise as well. In this case, while many view the otter reintroduction as a good thing, there are big challenges associated with food security. The video does highlight many of the benefits of otter reintroduction, but also the challenges coastal communities and fisheries have been experiencing. Sorry if you didn’t get what you wanted out of the video

    They were not "over hunted". They were intentionally exterminated to starve out the first nations so they would be weak in battle.
