A great piece on bats from the @weathernetwork! As part of @WCS_Canada's Western Bat Program, we have been part of the North American Bat Monitoring Program & continue to monitor & look for treatment options for white-nose syndrome.
There is no need to fear bats, but there is an obligation to help them since there are ramifications for our ecosystem and economy if they disappear completely. 🦇

This 1972 Political Cartoon was drawn by Calgary Herald Cartoonist Tom Innes at the height of the debates on developing areas like Nose Hill and Fish Creek. It still rings true today for areas like Aurora Business Park and Richardo Ranch. #SaveNoseCreek #SaveRichardoRanch #YYC

#Wetlands and #riparian areas are crucial. Reason enough to support @savetherosebud and to take acion on savetherosebud.ca.
#savethrosebud, act #ForNature
Urbanization is surging, but wetlands are disappearing fast.
From water resources to biodiversity, they're crucial for vibrant cities.

This is so important! @cityofcalgary, pls heed the request to exceed legal requirements and follow ethical considerations to protect the bank swallows and their habitat. They will need more than just the location of their nests. They feed on insects and require space to do.
This is kind of a big deal. A threatened species in the Aurora area… the case for greater green space in this development continues to present itself. #SaveNoseCreek @CalgaryResponse @FisherSpeaks @BirdFriendlyYYC @NCC_CNC @CityNatureYYC @NatureYYC @JyotiGondek @jasmine_mian
Time marches on. Since 2021, now over 8000 acres are protected by conservation easement. We know endangered bats hibernate here. The racetrack says leopard frogs were found at the site. Racetrack in the middle of critical habitat for bank swallow. #savetherosebud

Remarkable numbers, only 2-5% of our landscape and yet over 80% of wildlife rely on wetlands. A racetrack for the elite plans to wreck some more wetlands for personal gratification. Shameful #savetherosebud
Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay! Even though #riparian areas only make up 2-5% of the landscape, they play a vital role in maintaining #water quality & supply, fish & wildlife habitat & so much more! Learn more about these areas on our website: bit.ly/3KoxQeE

The largest wetland in the valley. It will get LESS water and seasonally dry up sooner and what it gets will be contaminated by racetracks and skid pad. In critical habitat ... bank swallow foraging, leopard frogs, bats. Wrong location for a racetrack @savetherosebud

Golden Eagles are at risk in Conneticut and they are endagered too in Alberta, CA, where a racetrack will destroy their habitat. NO racetrack in the #RosebudValley!🚫 If you want to save theses majestic birds, then help to #savetherosebud! Find out how on savetherosebud.ca

The proponent has said it my land and I will do what I want. Unfortunately the birds, bats etc don’t recognize his boundaries. Unfortunately neither does the noise. This is an incompatible development with life long consequences.
How can a racetrack be compatible with this! @RosebudTheatre is a provincial icon, now threatened by a Formula 1 Racetrack destroying this beautiful Rosebud River Valley? #savetherosebud
And it all washes down into the wetlands contaminating them. The wetlands that are in critical habitat. To think you can mitigate after the damage is done is ridiculous. #savetherosebud
What about that tire scrub on a racetrack with a 9 acre skid pad? ... "Researchers are only beginning to uncover the toxic cocktail of chemicals, microplastics, and heavy metals in car and truck tires" #savetherosebud

If you're not sure how bad the noise is from a racetrack, do yourself & the Rosebud ecosystem a solid and visit the Rimbey Central Alberta raceway on a race weekend. These AREN'T quiet electric vehicles - nonstop engine noise, with some modified to purposefully be super loud. 😡
Richard Clark retweeted
And the idea to destroy these wetlands to built a racetrack is simply obscene. #savetherosebud
