In the summer of 2014, I worked as a salmon fishing guide on the Yukon and Tanana rivers in the interior of the state.

and Wildlife Service has been monitoring cackling geese on the Yukon–Kuskokwim Delta annually since 1998. U.S. Fish and Wildlife also implemented an independent assessment of the fall population size of cackling geese. They created this project to assess the accuracy of existing monitoring methods. The 2015 field season marked the 5th year of the mark–resight project. Last but not least is the pre–season duck banding.

Life starts without people's consent - meaning that no one gets to choose to be born - but most of them still make attempts to live…

He builds a few fires to keep warm, and to battle freezing off his fingers and toes, but soon his own conscience drives him crazy.

Canadian Wonderland If I were to choose a country in the whole world to live in, I would choose Canada. There is many reasons for this but the major reason would be the beautiful sight there. Canada has everything, from glaciers and mountains to live theater shows. This country is very diverse, there is many different types of people as well as different languages being spoken. Their most spoken language is French (one of the languages I’ve been dying to learn), their national tree is the…

did not believe in climate change, I was intrigued by the opposing view and wanted to understand why they thought that way. I did not understand why people could doubt global warming when a strong study on the Yukon glaciers highly suggested it was real. A group of scientists watched the Yukon glaciers from 1958-2008 and noticed that there were over 1200 glaciers when beginning their observations. Within 50 years “4 of glaciers actually grew in size, 300 of them disappeared and the rest…
