Les chemins du caribou

Every winter, a thick layer of ice covers Lake Opinicon in Ontario. In this dark, cold environment, the map turtles hibernate without access to air or oxygen.

Researchers are noticing that, as a result of climate change, the hare is no longer able to change its coat colour with the seasons. They are studying the hare's behaviour and adaptation.

White-nose syndrome is a mysterious infection that emerged in 2006, wiping out entire bat populations in Canada and the USA. Today, researchers are studying the species to ensure its survival.

Under the waves of the St. Lawrence River, Kathleen MacGregor is conducting a research project focused on invertebrates living in the cold, dark depths of the estuary.

In an area of boreal forest near Manigotagan, northeast of Winnipeg, provincial biologists placed GPS collars on wolves and moose to study these species.

With climate change, birds are changing their migratory routes. Those that migrate long distances to spend the winter in the warmth are particularly affected by the destruction of their habitat.

The striped bass disappeared from the St. Lawrence River in the late 1960s. In 2002, to rebuild the population, the Quebec Ministry of Forests, Wildlife and Parks launched a research program.
