Pilot Project Tackles Wildlife Train Deaths In Banff National Park

It’s not your usual image of Banff National Park, but it is captivating in its own way. In the background, there’s a faint blur of a train barreling down a wilderness track on top of a grassy, sloped hill. In the foreground, a young black bear — caught with its hind legs on the ground and its front legs suspended in mid-air — races to safety through an opening in the thick brush.

Protecting Rare Birds On One Of Banff National Park’s Busiest Trails

Black eyes stare from the shadows of a tiny cave, a feathered, white crescent drawing my gaze. I halt mid-step, my eyes probing the inky dimness of the cliffside cavern. I’m looking at one of Banff National Park’s rarest birds — the black swift — from one of its busiest hiking trails, Johnston Canyon.
