Lynx have adapted to life in the snow. They have huge feet that function as snow-shoes, allowing this tufted-eared cat to hunt in deep snow country without wasting energy by breaking trails.
Environmental Monitoring
Tree rings are able to tell scientists about past and present climates. This is extremely important as today we are facing global climate change. In addition, trees purify the air especially in our polluted urban centres. Stanley Park in Vancouver or Central Park in NYC provide great examples of trees helping humans in an urban environment. Global Forest is monitoring the state of both animals and trees as they are affected by global change.
