Mission SNAP Québec for boreal birds

In this video series, SNAP Québec meets with field actors who are working to better understand boreal forest birds in order to better protect them

Discover the birds of the boreal forest

Every year, between 3 and 5 billion birds fly over the territory of the boreal forest, and nearly 300 species from Quebec stop there during migration or nest there.

From North to South, these birds travel thousands of kilometers and face numerous threats along their route. Now more than ever, it is important to ensure the protection of these territories, which serve as stopovers and sources of food during migration.

Mission SNAP Québec in Abitibi-Témiscamingue

For this second mission, SNAP Québec biologist Pier-Olivier Boudreault heads north to Abitibi-Témiscamingue to meet the Abitibiwinni First Nation and its partners. They are conducting an inventory of boreal forest birds in areas never before studied, using a new state-of-the-art technique.

Join us on World Migratory Bird Day, Saturday May 10, to discover the two new episodes.

Mission SNAP Québec at Tadoussac

During this first mission, follow Pier-Olivier Boudreault, a biologist at SNAP Quebec, on his way to Tadoussac to accompany the birdwatchers and volunteers at the Tadoussac Bird Observatory observe a rare phenomenon: the reverse migration.
