Dire situation leads to new coalition calling for change
A new province-wide coalition is calling on the government to re-establish the province as a world leader in fish, wildlife, and habitat management.
The Fish, Wildlife, and Habitat Coalition, with East Kootenay representation, represents a diverse array of interests that all share common concerns about the decline of fish, wildlife, and habitat including environmental and conservation organizations, hunting and angling guides, wildlife viewing, ecotourism, naturalists, hunters, anglers, and trappers.
Together, the group is seeking a commitment from the province to invest in healthy landscapes, waters, and fish and wildlife stewardship, in partnership with First Nations and communities. The Fish, Wildlife, and Habitat Coalition recognizes and respects the constitutionally protected rights of Indigenous peoples and the collective commitment to advancing reconciliation.
Solving the satellite data challenge

A newly launched Australian space start-up is set to tackle the challenge of a huge influx of satellite data – by tracking hundreds of satellites at the same time.
The satellite industry is currently booming, with a predicted 57,000 to be launched around the world over the next decade. These will increase the amount of all kinds of data streaming back down to Earth, from weather information to financial transactions to environmental monitoring like spotting bushfires or tracking elephants.
