No droppings, tracks, nests or other traces of wildlife—Canada's boreal forests were devastated by record wildfires this year.
In the woodlands of Quebec province, hunter Paul Wabanonik searches for fresh moose tracks on his Indigenous tribe's ancestral lands, which had sustained him and his family.
A few green shoots are just now starting to sprout in the once-lush green forest left charred by the fires. Beavers, coyotes, skunks, wolverines, foxes, bears—the Canadian boreal forest is home to 85 species of mammals, 130 of fish and 300 of birds, including many migratory birds. And in certain regions, the fires struck very early in the season, therefore shortly after gestation, leaving no chance for hatchlings or sucklings to escape.in the Canadian Shield will fill with algae which will suck the oxygen from the water, so there will be less for the animals," Langlois explains, referring to a large area of exposed rock.
"If the moose is likely to do well, the caribou will do less well, given that it is in a rather precarious situation," worries Gabriel Pigeon, professor at the University of Quebec in Abitibi-Temiscamingue.Thus is the case for a lynx that Pigeon follows using a radio collar. It has taken refuge 300 kilometers from its territory while its home range is generally 25 square kilometers.
