Keeping an Eye on Biodiversity

The Tyee has always had a reputation as a home for excellent stories on the climate, environment and all sorts of wondrous creatures — stories that you won’t find anywhere else.

And since the launch of our new biodiversity module in April, that coverage has been supercharged, with close looks at oceans and rivers in Western Canada and the state of environmental protections and politics in the Carney era.

Read on for some of this fresh biodiversity coverage, supported by our Builder members. You can join them here.

Every week from Friday to Sunday night, The Tyee has a fresh look and feel. It’s the Weekender, our weekend culture section for the arts, life and ideas.

It’s a lively space for readers to connect with the creative community, and for creatives to connect with our readers. If you know someone using their creativity as a force for good, we’d love to know. We’re proud to showcase people across the region using their creativity as a force for good in the Weekender’s monthly Creative Forces series, and we welcome nominations from readers.

If you'd like to write for the Weekender, reach out to us with a pitch.

From Alaska to California, people are pouring their smarts and hearts into successful enterprises that are low carbon and locally rooted. They’re employing and training, producing and sustaining.

So The Tyee created a whole new section to tell their stories and share best practices for a healthy bioregion. We call it What Works. It’s where you’ll find regular reports on the business of creating what works for a better future.

Is LNG Truly a Great BC Asset?
(read related story)

“I find this article interesting in that it is proposing that LNG is a great B.C. asset while urging that we make sure the B.C. population gets its fair share of the profits.


“But is a fossil fuel that is contributing to the climate crisis truly an asset? Really? While the climate crisis is negatively affecting the B.C. population and people and life everywhere?


“Is this what we accept in B.C., without a fight to stop fossil fuel projects — period?”
