Face to face with a century-old giant

2 days ago | canadiangeographic.ca | Madigan Cotterill

“Tortoise on the right!” Our naturalist guide Dennis Ballesteros shouts from the front of the van. I’m sitting on the edge of my seat, camera held high, ready to capture the giant. “He looks young, maybe 40 or 50 years old,” says Ballesteros. I look out the window, and sure enough, the rock-like animal is sitting just off the side of the road, partially hidden under a vibrant hibiscus bush.
The rare native plants of Newfoundland’s barrens

1 week ago | canadiangeographic.ca | Madigan Cotterill

It’s a wonder any life can thrive here on the grey swath of windswept stones near Sandy Cove, northwestern Newfoundland. And yet, shooting up between cracks and crevices are three endemic plants found nowhere else on Earth: Long’s braya, barrens willow and Fernald’s braya. Their hardiness, says plant ecologist Luise Hermanutz, is that of “a true Newfoundlander.” Map: Chris Brackley/Can Geo.

Wildlife without borders: Conservation in the time of Trump

3 weeks ago | canadiangeographic.ca | Leslie Anthony

Canada is home to some of the planet’s most extraordinary animal migrations. Perhaps best known are the spawning runs of adult salmon that make their way out of the Pacific and up myriad waterways to the streams of their birth, distances that can exceed 1,500 kilometres. Arctic terns likewise make a staggering return journey from the Arctic to Antarctic, flying more than 40,000 kilometres each year.

On tap: celebrating the tradition of maple syrup in Canada

1 month ago | canadiangeographic.ca | Michela Rosano

Out in the crisp, late February air, Michel Gagnon tends to his maple trees, getting them ready for the coming syrup harvest. When the sap starts to flow in early March, Gagnon will have only about two months to collect his buckets — a gruelling job, he says, but one he has no plans of quitting. The sugar bush is a Canadian institution rooted in First Nations’ tradition where people gather each spring to celebrate maple syrup.
