Conservation Spotlight🪲
Conservation involves more than what we see while exploring the trails.
Biological control, or biocontrol, is a conservation approach that can help manage invasive plants by using natural enemies that interact with them.
The insects featured here are associated with biocontrol and are connected to invasive plant species found in Alberta. They offer an interesting look at the often-overlooked relationships between insects and plants that are part of conservation work.
It's a fascinating look at the connections found within our ecosystems, and one example of the many different areas that conservation work can involve.
