We'll call him Elder, because there are wolves under his protection and his real name might point people in their direction. Suffice it to say, he belongs to one of the Coast Salish First Nations, and his traditional territory is tucked among the mountains of British Columbia’s Lower Mainland. Elder has never seen Norway, but his homeland is often compared to it—mountains of gray and white, swooping skyward over cobalt fjords.

“Take two minutes,” said the man with the gun. His name was Wayne Broomfield, and his job was to stand between us simple tourists and the bears of northern Labrador.

Forests with a greater diversity of trees sequester more carbon, and in a way, this isn’t surprising. Different trees employ different survival strategies — a preference for shade or full sunlight, acidic or basic soils, partnerships with some bacteria and fungi over others, etc. The more strategies one crams into a given forest, the more efficiently that forest’s resources can be used.

Individual sheets of fibreglass are notoriously difficult to recycle. Once layered together with resin — to form bathtubs, roofing panels, or aircraft components — peeling them back apart usually means shredding the end product into tiny pieces, then submerging them in tubs of heated solvent under high pressure. Needless to say, the recovered shreds of fibre and glass are not especially useful, or cheap.

This was the year of bison. Over six months I toured several of the sites to which they’ve been reintroduced in Alberta and Saskatchewan, then spent weeks at my desk trying to put their return into context. The result was published by Rewilding Magazine. https://t.co/z1lJgJ01lZ
