Dr Shiva Jian-Javdan is a Research Scientist with the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF). For more than a decade, Shiva’s dedication to marine mammal science and conservation has led her to projects with NGOs in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Greece. Since returning to Canada, Shiva has focused on large whales, the missing piece in her cetacean bingo card, with current projects aimed at assessing entanglement risk of North Atlantic right whales. Join Shiva in a conversation on Canada’s largest migratory animals and learn what CWF is doing to help conserve the most at-risk whale species, the North Atlantic right whale.

Join us for a look at what map turtles do in winter (and just before and after)? Each fall, Northern Map Turtles get together. In Opinicon Lake, found in eastern Ontario, they come from all over the lake to meet where they will spend the winter months under the ice. From November to April, they are nowhere to be seen. What are they doing under the surface of the water? Under the ice? Contrary to common belief, they are not just buried in the muck waiting for spring. This is a time of love, physiological challenges, and sometimes death.

Join CWF for our webinar “Sketching in Nature”, a creative activity that can enrich your understanding of the natural world. Our guest speaker, Alan Li, is both a brilliant artist and a down-to-earth teacher who will share practical advice on sketching outdoors including which art supplies work best in the field. He will also give you a peek inside his sketchbooks and provide tips on how to make expressive sketches of your subjects, whether it’s a perching bird or fallen leaf, without sacrificing accuracy or realism. Sketching is for all ages and all abilities. You do not require an art degree nor do you need to feel intimidated. The best place to begin your sketching adventures is close to home; your local park, a nearby creek or woodlands are wonderful places to explore.

Join CWF as Kristen Miskelly, biologist and owner of a native plant nursery and consulting business, shares design principles for home gardens. She will also touch upon using native plants in creating green roofs, rain gardens and planting along septic beds and boulevards. Kristen will guide you through various aspects of working with native plants, from choosing the best plants for your spot, site preparation, design considerations, maintenance and timing of activities. Examples from British Columbia will be shared, but the principles can be applied broadly across our Canadian landscapes. We hope you can join us!

Join the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) July 26th, 12:00-1:00 Eastern for a webinar on how to photograph and identify Canada’s top 10 invasive aquatics using iNaturalist.ca, presented by the Canadian Council on Invasive Species (CCIS). Nearly one-fifth of the Earth’s surface is at risk of plant and animal invasions. Invasive species are threatening Canada’s ecosystems, economy and communities. Climate change is also exacerbating this issue and can make ecosystems more vulnerable to invasive species, and invasive species can worsen the impacts of climate change. The good news is - you can help! Learn how to ID Canada’s top 10 invasive aquatics so you can report them, helping to stop their spread. Every report helps scientists track and protect Canada’s natural spaces and biodiversity from the negative impacts of invasive species. iNaturalist has become one of the world’s most popular nature apps and the Canadian Wildlife Federation has led the charge in bringing it to the forefront of Canadian citizen science.

April 22, 2022: English 12-1 ET, French 2-3 ET.. Join the Canadian Wildlife Federation in celebration of Earth Day and CWF’s 60th anniversary in learning how you can contribute to conservation using just a phone or digital camera. Ordinary people turned citizen scientists are contributing valuable information every day to help conserve our natural world. Through apps and websites like iNaturalist Canada and initiatives like the City Nature Challenge, thousands of people are contributing millions of observations, filling gaps that scientists can’t accomplish on their own. Join CWF’s English Webinar with James Pagé to hear about the value of citizen science data and how to take part. Join CWF’s French webinar with Alexandre Anctil (of the Centre de données sur le patrimoine naturel du Québec) to hear about the value of citizen science to the Quebec Conservation Data centre and how to take part.

Join Cécile Antoine -PhD Candidate in Biology at UOttawa- on her journey to discover native bees that you may encounter in your gardens and parks around Ottawa, or the rest of the country. Cécile will share her passion by giving details on the biology and ecology of wild bees. She will also explain her research findings on bees that nest in the ground, which represent ¾ of the species, and is the focus of her studies. Learn more on how to support wild bees by attending this webinar!

Every year, more than 1,000 marine animal incidents are reported in Canada. Sean and Tonya will discuss the importance of responding to marine animal emergencies, and the essential conservation role you and other Canadians can play by reporting incidents. Sadly, some of these incidents have tragic endings. When a marine animal dies, a necropsy (or autopsy) can help us better understand and conserve marine wildlife. Tonya will share her experience participating in North Atlantic Right Whale necropsies, and we’ll discuss ways we can work together to conserve this important and critically endangered species.

Please don’t release unwanted pet sliders into the wild. A slider can spread disease to native wildlife and may not survive in the wild. If you see a turtle in the wild that may not be native, please report it to iNaturalist Canada (inaturalist.ca) to get the species identified. Please don’t remove native species from the wild.
