Tigers on the Prowl

by Carla Church

Many species of amphibians are undergoing population decline, range reduction and extinction. Thirty percent of all amphibian species are considered threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), far exceeding declines in other vertebrate groups. Habitat loss and destruction are a major cause of these declines but other causes include disease, climate change, pollution, exploitation, and invasive species.

President's Report 2018

2017 was a very successful year for Nature Manitoba. We averaged more than two outdoor trips every week of the year, including those for general members and those under the auspices of the Grey Hares. These trips ranged from urban hikes and birding outings, to canoe trips in our province and other parts of Canada. Many thanks to our volunteer leaders who make this wonderful program possible.

Mantario In the Winter

By: Katrina Froese, Nature Manitoba member

I fell in love with the Mantario Cabin and Wilderness Area at a different time of year than most people do – in the dead of winter.

Please join us for our 2018 AGM! The AGM will take place at 7pm at the Franco-Manitoban Cultural Centre (340 Provencher Blvd) on the second floor (Salle Antoine-Gaborieau).

If India is on your bucket list (and even if it's not!), this is a great opportunity to visit this remarkable country while supporting our work here in Manitoba!

Using Caution While Using Citizen Science

When everyday people go out into nature and enter their findings into citizen science apps, they are providing valuable information for researchers. But public data about the exact location of a plant or animal can make it vulnerable. This great article from Yale Environment 360 details a poaching case in South Africa. But how does this kind of data affect local wildlife?
