A national not-for-profit land trust says it has expanded a conservation area on a Lake Huron island that has large forests and a long stretch of undeveloped shoreline.

The Nature Conservancy of Canada says the portion of land it now protects on Cockburn Island, west of Manitoulin Island, is 107 square kilometres -- twice the size of Bermuda.

The NCC says the island is also home to many mammals, and has rivers and creeks that support several species. It plans to conduct biological surveys to learn more about the island and look at removing invasive species in the area.

Constantly on the move, homeless camps difficult to track in Metro VancouverThe transient nature of those who live outside means municipalities and service providers can’t get a good idea of how many camps there are. Make Vagrancy Illegal. Stop renovictions and have laws in place to stop insane rent amounts. This will help get people off the street and into actual homes they can afford to rent. For anyone addicted to drugs consider forced rehab and job placement to help get their lives back on track. 🤔 And that’s why Vancouver smells like an overflowing toilet.

The Syrian Observer group is known widely for their propaganda. This is most likely Russiaphobia propaganda. See KevorkAlmassian or Canadian journalist EvaKBartlett for more honest outlook on Syria. Really oh my how many times has the USA done this and it just wasn't advertised. Its a horri le thing but until people of nations rise up to fix our lands nothing will change. Instead we will just voice opinions on social media just like this that make no difference Hasn't happened as much since Obama left office. His extra judicial assassinations with countless collateral deaths was horrid.
