What do polar bears, wood frogs, and caribou have in common? They all rely on the peatlands around Hudson Bay at some point during the year! But what in the world are peatlands? Well, we called in a Peatlands Pro to help answer that question.
Have you ever wondered what makes peatlands so special? Curious about the other types of animals that live there? Want to know how these ecosystems help us fight climate change?
Now is your chance to ask an expert!
Early next month, we’re chatting with Peatlands Pro, Connie O’Conner, PhD. She is the Director of the Ontario Northern Boreal Program at WCS Canada. You’re helping support their work with every polar bear, wood frog, and caribou adoption.
What are we going to ask Connie about? We don’t know! You tell us!
Ask your questions in the comments. We’ll select some and share them with Connie when we go live on Facebook on December 6 at 11:00 am ET!
Not able to join us on December 6? Don’t worry! We’ll post her answers on the blog after the interview.
Want to support WCS Canada’s work? Look for the polar bear, wood frog, or caribou in the Adoptions section of the Earth Rangers App.
