European body proposes mass killing of cormorants to protect fish stocks  Mongabay

Parks Canada has achieved significant progress in restoring the westslope cutthroat trout population in Banff National Park after over a decade of conservation efforts. The federal agency confirmed that the trout are now spawning naturally and repopulating Hidden Lake near Lake Louise, marking a major milestone in their recovery. Aquatics specialist Shelley Humphries highlighted that the species, once severely impacted by recreational fishing and invasive brook trout, is now self-sustaining. The project involved removing brook trout using rotenone in 2018-2019 and introducing trout eggs to Hidden Lake since 2021, leading to fully grown fish returning this year. While the focus remains on monitoring, the goal is to expand their habitat beyond the lake to streams and creeks. The success underscores the importance of ecological restoration, benefiting not only the trout but also other species like birds of prey and bears. Parks Canada also plans similar initiatives for other threatened fish species, emphasizing their commitment to protecting at-risk wildlife. This achievement represents a critical step in correcting historical environmental mistakes and ensuring the survival of native species in the region.
