ALT Habitat protections for one of Canada's most imperilled animals have been quietly removed by the Alberta government. Through amendments to the Public Lands Act in July, the province eliminated protections for greater sage grouse in designated protection and recovery zones. That same month, helium extraction company Thor Resources had a site approved within the bird's habitat. (David Zalubowski/The Associated Press)
