Give them space!

Did you know that Badgers need a lot of space?


Badgers move around a lot, visit new burrows often, and can even travel up to 14 km in one night!


Because they travel so far, roads constructed through badger habitat (primarily grasslands) pose the biggest threat to badgers. Secondary poisoning is also very harmful to these beautiful hunters. When humans poison prey animals (eg. rodents), we put all sorts of predators at risk including everything from owls to badgers.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT >

We respectfully acknowledge that our stewardship work takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Syilx (Okanagan) People. For countless generations, the Syilx People have cared for these lands, waters, plants, and wildlife through their knowledge, laws, and responsibilities to the natural world.

As an organization dedicated to conservation and stewardship, we recognize that caring for ecosystems is not a new practice but one that has been guided by Indigenous Peoples since time immemorial. We honour the Syilx Nation's enduring stewardship and commit to fostering respectful relationships with the land and with the people who have always called it home.
