"The forest, known as the Grandbois Lakes forest, is located near Sainte-Thècle, in the Mékinac Regional County Municipality, northeast of Shawinigan. Composed largely of red spruce trees, the ecosystem is considered one of the last intact forests of its kind in southern Quebec."

Nene, the Hawaiian goose, endangered & closely related to Canadian geese (some of whom must've gotten way off course about 60,000 years ago). I saw these on the east side bike path on Kauai, which I've ridden 1,000 times and this was my first encounter with Nene there. The conservation efforts seem to be working well. At one point, only about 500 were left. (On the CITES list, they are 'near threatened,' no longer 'endangered.)

New species are being discovered faster than ever before, study suggests

About 300 years ago, Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus set out on a bold quest: to identify and name every living organism on Earth. Now celebrated as the father of modern taxonomy, he developed the binomial naming system and described more than 10,000 species of plants and animals. Since his time, scientists have continued to describe new species in the quest to uncover Earth's biodiversity.
