VIFF: Waking the Green Tiger

One of the coolest things about being in Vancouver for the film festival is that I get to meet some of the people behind the films. On opening night, I met Gary Marcuse, director of Waking the Green Tiger, and I was immediately charmed by his passion for both storytelling and for the environment. Yesterday, we had a quick moment between screenings to chat about his film, which has its world premiere today.

Call for the Wild

Most people contact me via Twitter, so I don’t get too many phone calls. But I was happy to hear the familiar voice of whale expert Richard Sears, who was calling from a phone booth. “How quaint,” I teased him. He was using the archaic device to give me an update on some high-tech work that his team is doing to track Blue whales in the Gaspé region of Quebec.

On the conservation team at WWF, we often get that dreamy-eyed look from members, wishing that they could do our jobs to help protect wildlife! And occasionally, we have to admit, we do get out to help with some fantastic field conservation projects (some of which you may have seen covered on this blog). But now we want to give you a peek into our more routine, day-to-day work – this time a high-level, multi-stakeholder committee providing advice on protection measures for Canada’s wildlife species at risk.

Oolichan… more than just a fish

I take great pride in my heritage; who I am and where I come from follows me wherever I go in life. If I could, I would go back to a time when my father prepared his annual trek to Fishery Bay from Gingolx (Kincolith), on the Nass River. Gingolx is one of four Nisga’a Villages within the Nass Valley; it is located at the mouth of the Nass River.
