Dactylorhiza fuchsii var. albiflora? 1 of 5 by Will Atkins Via Flickr: I'd be very grateful for any help with the ID of this orchid found in Yorkshire in a traditional wildflower meadow, on its own. Other orchid species nearby include early purple, green-winged, burnt and northern marsh. Characteristics of this one include: unspotted elongated leaves running all the way up the stem, white flowers with no markings at all, lip of flower deeply notched, trilobate, hood of flower like a 'cowl', height approx 20-25cm. Looks like a mash-up of several species to my inexpert eye!!

New research confirms that Tsleil-Waututh Nation has consistently and sustainably fished for chum salmon for 1,200 years longer than the archaeological record had previously demonstrated.

This supports Tsleil-Waututh knowledge and further demonstrates that Tsleil-Waututh people have been sustainably living on and stewarding their traditional territory for longer than Western science may recognize.

Researchers from Tsleil-Waututh Nation and UBC analyzed 245 salmon bones gathered as part of an archaeological dig in the 1960s and 1970s from təmtəmíxʷtən, a large and important site for the Nation located near what many British Columbians now know as Belcarra.

The research builds on a previous study which showed that the Nation sustainably and preferentially fished for chum salmon for 1,300 years, from about 400 BC to 1200.

Using carbon dating on eight new samples, the researchers extended this period of time a further 1,200 years, confirming Tsleil-Waututh ancestors fished for salmon from about 850 BC to 1650. [...]

One of my next Clanmew expansions is going to HAVE to be snakes because girl help everyone draws Honeyfern and Frecklewish being poisoned by pythons and it makes me want to pop a wheelie.

#Since some clanmew expansion packs are basically doubling as clan culture guides to fauna/flora #And how the clan cats percieve them #Plus education about british ecology wrapped up in silly battle cats like a pill in a slice of cheese #A python is SNOOT and a PUPPY #An adder looks like an ANGRY BOY

A federal government decision to reverse course on issuing an emergency order for the northern spotted owl has angered the British Columbia First Nation that asked for the protection of the endangered species.

Spuzzum First Nation Chief James Hobart said members of his community are “furious” after the federal government decision was outlined in a letter issued this week by the Canadian Wildlife Service, a branch of the Department of Environment.

The letter said the federal government will not bring in an emergency order to prevent logging in two watersheds within Spuzzum Nation territory in B.C.’s lower Fraser River canyon.

The logging was an activity that Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault had said posed “an imminent threat” to the survival of the species.

Guilbeault said earlier this year in another letter from the Canadian Wildlife Service that he was recommending the emergency order to cabinet to protect the spotted owl. [...]
