This week, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) confirmed what many already feared: the majestic Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus) is in serious decline nationwide.
Here in Québec — where the Snowy Owl has proudly stood as our provincial bird for nearly 40 years — the irony is hard to ignore: despite its symbolic status, it remains legally unprotected in our province.
❄️ What’s causing the decline?
Climate change is collapsing Arctic lemming populations, leaving owls without food.
Human pressures like collisions and poisoning during migration make survival even harder.
This is more than just about saving one species — it’s about hearing the warning signs from nature. The Snowy Owl is a sentinel species, reflecting the health of ecosystems we all rely on for clean air, food, and a stable climate.
📢 This is a call to action:✅ Québec must close its legislative gap✅ Canada must accelerate real, coordinated conservation efforts✅ We must protect biodiversity — for wildlife, and for ourselves
Let’s not let the Snowy Owl become just a memory. It’s time to move from symbolism to action.
The game is not only fun but also very safe and educational. It helps kids use their imagination and create their own little world. You can choose different roles like being a doctor, teacher, chef, or even a police officer. With the mod version, you get access to all characters, hairstyles, clothes, and accessories on theavatarworld. You can mix and match them however you want, and the fun never ends. The graphics are very colorful and cartoon-like, which makes the game perfect for young players.
