After months of build-up, an international dialogue on how to cut carbon emissions has formally begun! So – “what’s it all mean, Alfie?”

The Big Wild: protect at least half of Canada New Video out today from Bou - I think it's about time I got his autograph ;)

http://www.caribouandyou.ca/on - A woodland caribou meets an Ontario Government representative to ask the Government to help save his species from disappearing from the province. The warning signs are clear. The Ontario Government needs to ACT NOW before all the caribo...u are gone. The Ontario Woodland Caribou Conservation Plan proposes more studies. But to stop the decline of Ontario woodland caribou, a halt on further logging and road building that is pushing them to extinction needs to be implemented NOW while the studies are being done. You can ACT NOW by going to http://www.caribouandyou.ca/on and sending a letter to the Ontario Government in support of protecting the woodland caribou by protecting their habitat now. http://www.caribouandyou.ca/on

The Big Wild: protect at least half of Canada My buddy, Bou the Caribou, is embracing the power of a Facebook Fanpage - he's totally hilarious and awesome - fan him, folks!

Caribou And You is about saving the boreal woodland caribou from becoming extinct by keeping Canada's BEAUTIFUL boreal forest protected and intact. Keeping Canada's boreal forest intact protects not only caribou, but also you because it's the home of the woodland carib...ou AND the world's LARGEST land storehouse of carbon dioxide.

A photo's worth one thousand bug bites, one thousand turns in the river, and one thousand stories about Canada's wilderness.   At least, here at The Big Wild, we think so. Especially this photo – Filmmaker Frank Wolf and Taku Hokoyama
