Waiting for Freeze-Up
It's the second week in November with only traces of snow
in Churchill--and no sign of ice on Hudson Bay. "There's no ice on Hudson Bay, and there's no ice north of us, either. To venture a guess, we're still a month away from freeze-up, although weather conditions can change quickly
--and that's what we're hoping for," says Dr. Andrew Derocher,
PBI Advisory Council scientist. | more

It's a Good Thing, Martha
No, Martha Stewart wasn't in Churchill to give advice on stylish satellite collars--she was there filming a special on polar bears to air on her show in November. While there, she interviewed our senior scientist, Dr. Steven Amstrup, watched the bears from a Tundra Buggy®, witnessed a Polar Bear Alert airlift, and learned about the conservation challenges facing these magnificent animals--and the work that PBI is doing to address them.
Don't miss the show. Watch local listings for day and time.

This year, people from around the world are participating, thanks to new partnerships with Discovery Education, the Center for Biological Diversity, and zoo organizations like AZA, AAZK, and CAZA. There's nothing else like it!
