Billions of birds are on the move across North America this spring as they migrate to their northern breeding areas.

February 2, 2021/in Guest Post/by FLAP Canada

By Michal Zhitomirsky “It’s like Pokémon GO, but in real life!” The above is my standard attempt to explain my enthusiasm for bird watching to my loved ones, who typically respond with a polite smile and vacant eyes.

December 6, 2020/in News, Take Action/by Lisa Horn

Ah, coffee. Many of us can’t get through our day without a cup (or three). Coffee is one of the world’s most popular beverages, but our addiction to caffeine can come with a steep environmental price tag.
