The Southern Resident Killer Whales (SRKW) are down to roughly 74 individuals, and scientists are warning that, without serious action, they could disappear within a few decades.

Canada and China’s mining rules differ at home, but abroad, their oversight converges, raising questions about global green standards and enforcement.

Canada’s mining sector faces strict regulations balancing economic growth with environmental protection, setting a global standard for resource extraction.

Lark Scientific is proud to announce our sponsorship and mentorship partnership with the University of Waterloo’s Sustainability and Social Entrepreneurship Fellowship (SSEF) program, in collaboration with Halton Region. This year’s nine-week program invited 30 multidisciplinary students to transform bold ideas into practical solutions addressing climate change, infrastructure resilience, and community sustainability in Halton Region.

The global energy transition is unfolding at a critical moment. Nations are under mounting pressure to meet rising electricity demand while cutting emissions and keeping costs manageable. The debate often centers on two very different approaches: renewables, like solar and wind, versus nuclear’s new frontier – Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). Each has unique strengths, risks, and cost profiles, making the choice a pivotal one.

Water covers about 70% of our planet, yet only 3% of it is freshwater. And less than half of that is easily accessible. The rest is locked in glaciers or buried deep underground. As climate change and droughts intensify, many regions struggle to secure reliable drinking water.

It’s getting hotter in Canadian cities. With increasingly dangerous heat, the next frontier in urban cooling must move beyond trees and parks. Innovative technologies and design strategies are merging with natural systems to create holistic solutions for the urban heat island effect.

Canadian cities face rising temperatures as climate change intensifies the urban heat island effect. Built-up areas, full of concrete, asphalt, and steel, heat up far more than surrounding rural landscapes.

Lark Scientific Researcher Summer Rylander explores the latest scientific findings on the health of our planet and the sobering truth that we may be running out of time.
