Panda under the stars

There were lots of people, there was lots of popcorn. There was the Toronto skyline, there was beer on tap. There was no ceiling, but there was no wind. There was warm weather, there were warm smiles. And of course, there was the panda!

Swans in snow signal Spring!

A squadron of six Tundra Swans drifted low and slow over the car, nearly sending me off the causeway into the marsh. It would have been a cold, wet and undignified end, but I would have departed contented, if somewhat dented.

Polar bear team update: Today on the tundra

Rhys and I awoke to a crystal clear dawn, a numbing -40C again, and the excitement of reconnecting with the female polar bear and her single cub that we had left at sunset yesterday evening.

The world will end in 2012…

…according to Hollywood. You may have seen the disaster flick 2012 last year. In it, John Cusack leads a group of desperate survivors from one environmental cataclysm to the next, the planet literally disappearing into a deluge of a wrathful, rising seawater beneath them.

Those of us in Southern Ontario are battening down the hatches for a doozy of a Groundhog Day storm. Here at WWF-Canada, we’ve got sweaters on our minds for more than one reason.
