There have been many visitors recently to land along the Brunette River in Burnaby where Trans Mountain is cutting down trees.

But not all of them are on land.

As the area has been the site of several recent protests, a group of river otters were also spotted hanging out near where the trees are being cut down by chainsaws.

You can watch the video below. Protesters have worried about the impact on the Brunette from Trans Mountain's work.

With its kilometres of rapids and deep blue waters winding through Quebec’s Côte-Nord region, the Magpie river has long been a culturally significant spot for the Innu of Ekuanitshit. 

Now the river, a majestic, world-renowned whitewater rafting destination, has been granted legal personhood status in a bid to protect it from future threats, such as hydroelectric development. Its new status means the body of water could theoretically sue the government.

Evidence is growing that a critical part of the Atlantic Ocean’s circulation system is weaker than it’s been in 1,000 years, a climate-driven change that could someday have a major impact on both the European climate and the fishing economies of the U.S. East Coast.
