Polar Bears Live!
The Tundra Buggy Reports

In Churchill, Manitoba, WWF polar bear biologist Geoff York and WWF biologist Pete Ewins are helping document and report on the ice conditions to learn more about how sea-ice changes affect polar bears. Churchill, on the shores of Hudson Bay in Canada, is an ideal place to observe polar bears--they gather there every fall, waiting for the bay to freeze and become their highway to Arctic feeding grounds. Due to climate change, the bears have recently had to spend a longer time on shore, away from their prime food source--seals. Discover how the experts' fully wired "Tundra Buggy" will enable live polar bear broadcasts around the world, and learn more about this global program.

    Say Yes to Sustainable Seafood
    Whether it is fish and chips, swordfish or sushi, many of us love seafood. Unfortunately, poor fisheries management and wasteful, destructive fishing practices are decimating the world's fisheries, as well as destroying marine habitats and incidentally killing billions of fish and other marine animals each year. But you can help change this. Pledge to buy seafood that's certified as being sustainable and urge stores and restaurants to carry certified fish.

    Journey into the heart of East Africa on WWF's quintessential Serengeti safari. Go off the beaten path to search for elephants, buffalos, waterbucks and giraffes. Be on the lookout for lions, cheetahs and rare black rhinos. Observe hippos submerged up to their eyes in wetland pools. You may even spot lions stalking their prey. During the tour, stay at classic tented camps, chosen for their stunning settings and proximity to top wildlife-viewing spots.
