I first saw footage of a starving polar bear about 8 years ago and it has haunted me ever since. Unfortunately, the effects of climate change have only continued to intensify. Each of us has a duty to reduce our carbon footprint by being more energy efficient, reducing meat and dairy in our diets, supporting carbon taxes so polluters pay and eating and buying local, to name just a few!

We are the stewards of this planet. She gives us life. The least we could do is take care of her. ❤️🌏❤️

This week I posted a video of a starving bear. It was difficult to film, and even harder to watch, as evidenced by the reactions it elicited. The truth is hard, but photojournalism is more than pretty pictures. It can be a difficult job. Journalism exposes—raw and without bias—the world’s issues in the interest of transparency, honesty and, I believe, change for the better. At @Sea_Legacy, we want to break down the walls of apathy and move people to change. We went to the Canadian Arctic to document the effects of climate change. We found the good, the bad and the ugly, but mostly just beautiful animals and landscapes we want to protect. We will continue to share it all with you in the interest of creating positive and lasting change. Thank you for helping us in #TurningTheTide. @Sea_Legacy with @CristinaMittermeier. #repost @paulnicklen
Find these necklaces and oh so much more at @funkyfindsmarket this weekend at the Albion Fairgrounds in Maple Ridge! I’ll be there with jewels, clothing and other funk-ay thangs!
Dolphins belong in the sea, wild and free. 🐬 #Repost @naturalswildeyes

Yet another disturbing video has emerged from a Japanese aquarium. This again shows the under stimulating environment captive dolphins are forced to deal with. The fact that three dolphins are lying on the bottom of the tank is very concerning. Lying at the bottom of the tank is a stereotypical behaviour only associated with captivity. Wild cetaceans are constantly on the move—even while resting they continue to travel with their pod. However in captivity cetaceans deal with artificial pods, lack of space, and increased stress and boredom—which is evident in the unnatural behaviours they display (such as logging at the surface of the water for extended periods of time and laying at the bottom of the tank).

Happy Winter Solstice to those in the northern hemisphere. A chance to set our intentions, end the cycles we no longer want and begin new ones. Take pause and reflect. It’s gonna get brighter from here! GIF by @radleighvalentine
