Small and endangered
White nose syndrome has been decimating bats since 2006. At the Laflèche cave, Jade Legros and his team in Québec track 400 brown bats with transmitters to study their habits. This project aims to better understand and protect this vulnerable species.

Democratising science
Climate change is changing bird migration. Biologists are studying these disruptions to enlighten conservation policies. But this fieldwork is costly and takes time. Jaimie Vincent analyses eBird shared observation data.

Mysteries below the ice, winter at Opinicon Lake
Each winter, Northern map turtles hibernate under the ice on Opinicon Lake, with no access to air. In the face of climate warming and sound pollution, they have become essential allies for biologists, helped by recent technologies to study how they adapt.

On the trail of invertebrates
Kathleen MacGregor is conducting a three-year study of invertebrates in the St. Lawrence River, by fitting 200 transmitters on six species, including green sea urchins and common crabs. Her team assesses the impact of human activities on this aquatic ecosystem at the Maurice-Lamontagne Institute.

Colour of the hare
In Canada, the snowshoe hare is crucial for ecosystems of the boreal forest. Climate change disrupts its seasonal change of coat, making it more vulnerable to predators. Joanie Kennah studies if this vulnerability changes its behaviour in Newfoundland.

By the end of the 21st century, the majority of Alpine glaciers will have melted away. What will become of the 'bisses du Valais', the traditional irrigation network of canals for thaw water? In Switzerland, like elsewhere, the issue of mountain water is at the heart of the debates.
Environment Nature and animals
Exploring the edge of the boreal forest, where the Arctic, alpine regions and ocean meet. This project is led by Karine Genest. The explorer is intrigued by the overlapping of species and their capacity to survive. With scientists and guides, she discovers the secrets of the wild.

On the farm, at work or pets at home: they all have an important place in our lives. Franck Menestret explores the animal world amidst some grandiose landscapes. Accompanied by his two dogs, Muffin and Praline, he also shares a host of amusing and moving stories about their daily lives.
Environment Nature and animals
Arctic winters are merciless. Yet, through thick and thin, marine mammals and birds manage to survive in this hostile environment. From the open waters to the centre of the ice field, where caribou herds take refuge, Kelsey Eliasson explores this ecosystem in the company of experts in Inuit traditions.

"If we do nothing, in twenty years, the Mediterranean will be a dead sea!": this phrase by Jacques-Yves Cousteau was uttered in 1979. Forty-five years later, despite a certain amount of progress, his observation remains just as valid. Has the battle been lost? Franck Lorrain investigates.
