Veteran Expedition Leader Annie Van Dinther will share nature and wildlife images and firsthand stories from Churchill— a frontier town of a thousand people on the edge of Hudson Bay. Churchill is best known as the “Polar Bear Capital of the World.” But few know it’s also one of the best places to see the aurora borealis in winter, or that hundreds of amiable beluga whales swim up the Churchill River each summer. Annie will also talk about some of Churchill’s intriguing residents, from dog mushers to indigenous storytellers. And if you can’t join us live, we’ll post the webinars online for you to view any time.

Native only to the island of Borneo, the cute, fuzzy sun bear is the smallest of the world’s eight bear species. It’s facing big struggles from tropical forest loss, illegal hunting for bear parts, and poaching to obtain cubs for pet trade. But one man — Dr. Wong Siew Te – has almost single-handedly kept the sun bear from going extinct in the wild, dedicating his life to their protection…and he joins us for today’s webinar live from Borneo! Expedition Leader Brad Josephs introduces Wong, a personal hero and friend whom he calls “perhaps the world’s most dedicated and passionate conservationist.” We’ll hear the story of how Wong established the Borean Sun Bear Conservation Center, which has helped realize his dream of releasing rehabilitated sun bears into the wild. While you may never even have heard of a sun bear before, after hearing from Wong, you’ll never forget them.

Bears, Belugas & Bright Nights: Churchill Through the Seasons

For a tiny little frontier town inaccessible by road on the edge of Canada’s Hudson Bay, Churchill sure has a lot to offer nature lovers through the year. Join veteran Churchill guide Annie Van Dinther for a virtual journey over the tundra, into the taiga, and to the mouth of the Churchill River as we discover Churchill in the fall, winter and summer. (We take a hiatus from April to June…mud season!). Renowned as the Polar Bear Capital of the World, Churchill is best known for its autumn polar bear encounters. Once the bay freezes and the bears head onto the ice to hunt, we return in winter to search for the northern lights—Churchill offers some of the best aurora-viewing on the planet! And when the summer sun warms the coastal plain, the tundra bursts with wildflowers, beluga whales congregate by the hundreds, and polar bears and other Arctic wildlife roam freely.

Mexican Expedition Leader team Astrid and Karel call Puerto Vallarta home…and they’re here to introduce you to their offshore neighbors, the humpback whales of Banderas Bay. These energetic whales often feed in large groups and are among the most vocal cetaceans, known for their exuberant “singing.” Fifty feet long and weighing up to 40 tons, they put on quite a show when they breach — leaping completely out of the water and landing with a mighty crash. But despite their size, they aren’t impervious to threats, including entanglement in fishing gear. Learn all about Mexico’s humpbacks with Astrid and Karel, who fill us in on efforts to protect them in Banderas Bay, as well as current research and conservation work on the humpbacks’ behalf.
