The power of traditional knowledge and technology in Nunavut - WWF.CA The Nunavut Wildlife Management Board's SMART conservation area management platform enables Inuit hunters to collect data about Arctic species.

Inuit carry forward generations of traditional knowledge while using tools like the SMART app to track wildlife and map their journeys. The result? A powerful blend of wisdom and innovation that keeps communities, culture and ecosystems thriving together.

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.

Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

Last Ice Area research reveals new vulnerability to Arctic warming - WWF.CA The Last Ice Area may transition from a refuge for multi-year sea ice to a seasonally ice-free system about 10 years after the Arctic loses its summer ice.

❄️ A recent high-resolution climate study reveals the Last Ice Area may be more vulnerable to climate change than previously thought. This area is crucial for ice-dependent species like polar bears, narwhals and walruses.

Explore these findings and their implications.

​​​​​Slow steaming: Decreasing speed cuts emissions, wildlife collisions *and* costsΒ  - WWF.CA As arctic shipping accelerates due to sea-ice melt, here's how "slow steaming" minimizes harms to wildlife and climate while cutting costs for operators.

Did you know by reducing ship speeds by just 10%, we can decrease energy use, significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions and reduce underwater noise pollution?

🚒 This practice known as "slow steaming" benefits the environment, enhances vessel safety and reduces operational costs.

eNGOs "aren’t the only ones characterizing πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ draft Ocean Noise Strategy as weak & watered down. The same criticism came from inside the department."

Hussein Alidina noted WWF-Canada has "repeatedly told DFO a strategy needs to chart a clear path with timelines to reduce underwater noise."

🚨 2024 was the hottest year on record. 🚨

Fossil fuels and the destruction of nature are driving climate chaos. πŸ”₯

In 2025, we need more ecosystem restoration and protection AND more ambitious emissions reduction to lower impacts, create jobs and turn the temperature back down.
