As you are all bright young individuals who enjoy learning, rather than me tell you what we will be looking at in Western Canada, I will let you choose yourselves. There are a few criteria however. You are to find a topic that interests you and involves human and environment interactions in Western Canada. (Such as fish farming on the west coast, forest fighting and how it contributes to the pine beetle, Burrard thermal plants, Oil refineries in Burnaby). You are then to research your topic and post what you learn on this blog to share with your peers. You can use links, pictures or any other media to share your newfound knowledge. You must make at least one post and then you must make at least two replies to other peoples posts. This way we learn from each other in a collaborative way. I look forward to learning from you as well.

The Swifrt Fox is an indager animal which was instict and brought back 2 decades ago. Foxes are curious and have little fear of people so they're easy to kill. In the early 1900s, hundreds were destroyed accidentally during predator control programs aimed at removing wolves, coyotes and ground squirrels from the prairies. Some people continue to mistake them for young coyotes and kill them. Habitat loss due to agricultural, industrial and urban development also reduced their numbers. Dens were ploughed over and native grasses replaced with tall cereal crops that are unsuitable for foxes or their food.
