Biology Professor, Grégory Bulté on CBC (CAN)
Grégory Bulté — biology professor at Carleton University — spends each spring surveying Northern Map Turtles at Lake Opinicon in eastern Ontario. Counting the turtles every year builds a long-term dataset that shows whether the population is stable or changing. Because Northern Map Turtles are sensitive to environmental conditions, their numbers help indicate the overall health of the lake’s ecosystem.
