The loon is an iconic and protected species. The Climate Crew team has been working hard to solve a mystery around the survival rate of its young. This species has struggled over the years as the climate has changed. We need this top predator on our lakes to ensure the ecosystem is strong and resilient. The good news is that there are more breeding pairs each season, but mysteriously, they aren’t producing more offspring. The team from La Mauricie National Park has been studying this phenomenon and has research insights on why this might be happening and the steps needed to support their resident Loon population to grow.
