Without protection, 99% of nests are destroyed. Nesting success rates are assessed annually by counting the empty shells once the hatchlings have left the nest. One of the artificial nesting sites protected by \u00c9co-Nature has an <strong>excellent annual hatching success rate of up to 78%.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Education and awareness: We carry out all kinds of communication activities (kiosk, lectures, training) to make people aware of the many conservation issues and different threats facing at-risk species in the Park. <strong>These activities reach over 10,000 people every year.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Acoustic bat inventories: We conduct bat inventories with ultrasonic detection devices, making it possible to confirm the presence of bats in new sites and to identify the species in the Park. <strong>A bat eats the equivalent of three times its body weight in insects every day.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Creating wildlife habitats: We create wildlife habitats along the Mille \u00celes River to compensate for the lack of natural ones (turtle nesting sites, structures where turtles can sun themselves, bat boxes, wood duck nesting boxes, swallow nesting boxes).<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Identifying and monitoring chimney swift roosting and nesting sites: We monitor over thirty chimneys that could be used for roosting and nesting by chimney swifts every year. <strong>There are currently thought to be only a few thousand nesting pairs left in Quebec. However, there may only be enough suitable habitat for 450 nesting pairs.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Creating pollinator gardens: Beds with native flowers that attract pollinators and provide habitats for monarchs and other butterflies, honey bees, hummingbirds, rusty-patched bumble bees, etc.). <strong>In Quebec, we owe close to 40% of the food we eat to the work of pollinators.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Monitoring flower habitats: Every year, we carefully monitor the status of American water-willow and lizard\u2019s tail colonies and identify and mitigate threats to their survival. <strong>The Mille \u00celes River is home to close to 99% of the American water-willow population in Canada, and the largest lizard\u2019s tail colony in Quebec.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Controlling invasive exotic species: We work to control invasive exotic species like common reed and Japanese knotweed in natural environments so as to protect biodiversity and restore the ecological value of these degraded habitats. <strong>In Canada, damage by and efforts to control invasive exotic species cost more than $7.5 billion annually.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Scientific fishing: We conduct experimental catches jointly with the Quebec department of wildlife to confirm the presence of and maintain species at risk in certain parts of the River. Some 59% of the freshwater fish species in Quebec may be found in the Mille \u00celes River.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Inventorying birds at risk: Inventories conducted with the help of volunteer birdwatchers make it possible confirm the presence of rare or at risk bird species in the Park. <strong>Some 77% of the bird species in Quebec may be observed along the Mille \u00celes River.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Shoreline restoration: We conduct various projects with the help of volunteers to restore functional riverbanks and degraded habitats. These projects include planting appropriate native plants, stabilizing riverbanks with i<strong>nnovative green engineering techniques and creating multifunctional wildlife habitats. In Quebec, 182 plant species at risk grow near rivers. In the Park, more than half of all plant and animal species are found in habitats near the river.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Cleanup drives: Every year, we remove trash that accumulates on the islands and riverbanks, with the help of volunteers. C<strong>lose to 10 km of shoreline is cleaned every year during drives organized and co-ordinated by \u00c9co-Nature.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Water quality monitoring: The quality of the water in the Mille \u00celes River is checked regularly all summer long. Water samples are taken at some fifty stations and different physicochemical parameters are monitored. Thanks to efforts by \u00c9co-Nature and the municipalities along the river, water quality is improving. <strong>The Mille \u00celes River provides drinking water for 400,000 residents.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Turtle observation RESO:<strong> Nearly 300 members share their turtle observations annually.<\/strong> Thanks to these citizen notices, turtle populations are monitored, habitats of interest and nests are protected and injured turtles are treated.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><em>PHOTO CREDITS: LARRY LAFLEUR, MICHEL GRAZIANO, ANA\u00cfS BOUTIN, FRANCIS ALLAIRE ET \u00c9LODIE HAMEL<\/em><\/span><\/h2>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AT-RISK SPECIES THAT WE PROTECT<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the most common Mille \u00celes River species:<\/p>\n<p>\tNorthern pike: With some 700 teeth, these fish are known as \u201cfreshwater sharks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\tBeaver: Like engineers, they build dams to raise the water level, making it easier for them to fetch their food and giving them access to their lodges year-round.<\/p>\n<p>\tSunfish: These brightly coloured fish are popular with anglers.<\/p>\n<p>\tFragrant water lily: These showy plants have sweetly scented, [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":10802,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1508","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Biologists&#039; Corner - Parc de la Rivi\u00e8re-des-Mille-\u00celes<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Le refuge faunique de la Rivi\u00e8re-des-Mille-\u00celes est une aire prot\u00e9g\u00e9e situ\u00e9 sur la rivi\u00e8re du m\u00eame nom \u00e0 Laval et Rosem\u00e8re.
