UBC Okanagan welcomes first cohort of Bachelor of Secwépemc Language Fluency students - UBC's Okanagan News UBCO is the first Canadian university to offer degrees in all four Interior Salish languages

Always inspired by this truly awesome language champion in nsyilxcən (one of the Interior Salishan languages), lax̌lax̌tkʷ (Dr. Jeanette Armstrong), whom i have the great honour to work with on Species At Risk conservation: news.ok.ubc.ca/2025/09/18/u...

Indigenous languages are founts of environmental knowledge Peoples who live close to nature have a rich lore of plants, animals and landscapes embedded in their mother tongues — which may hold vital clues to protecting biodiversity

Not new concepts but good mention of some of the important links between Indigenous-language revitalisation and Indigenous-led conservation and Indigenous sciences:

East Asian Finless Porpoise (Neophocaena sunameri), 욕지섬 Yokji Island, 한국 South Korea, © C. Artuso I would like to get back to my posts on birds in Anishinaabemowin, so I will end this series with one of the mammalian highlights, a small pod of East Asian Finless Porpoises seen from the ferry. When their back came out of the water they reminded me of a baby beluga, although much more muscular and a lot faster – a very cool cetacean indeed!

Azure-winged Magpie (Cyanopica cyanus), 우포늪 Upo neup, 한국 South Korea, © C. Artuso The Azure-winged Magpie is one of many beautiful corvids of East Asia. We used to think this species had a VERY disjunct distribution (in the far east and far west of Eurasia), but now the Iberian Magpie has been separated from the Azure-winged Magpie, the two species remaining in a genus of their own. In South Korea, this species seems to have quite a patchy distribution, at least to me. #birds #jay #jays #Corviidae #corvids #KoreanBirds #AsianBirds

Asian Stubtail (Urosphena squameiceps), Busan, South Korea, © C. Artuso Sharing a few more beautiful South Korean birds, this being the skulking Asian Stubtail from the Scotocercidae (bush-warbler family). The whole family is generally secretive but with a lot of character. They are found across the Afro-Asiatic tropics, extending a little into the termperate zones, with the Asian Stubtail being one of the northernmost family members. There are several nearly tailless family members (e.g. generera Urosphena, Tesia and the Neumann’s Warbler) who move through the dense understorey with impressive ease.
