Happy #WorldWetlandsDay! 🦆. Wetlands are nature's superheroes. 💙 They clean our water, protect us from floods, store carbon & provide vital habitat for wildlife. From marshes to peatlands, these ecosystems are essential for fighting climate change & protecting biodiversity.

Will we get 6 more weeks of winter or an early spring? While most groundhogs across the continent are making their predictions today, their rare relative, the Vancouver Island Marmot, will be happily hibernating underground until the weather actually warms. #GroundhogDay

Happy #InternationalZebraDay! ✨🦓. Fast, fierce & full of personality—zebras are more than just their iconic stripes! These African herbivores can sprint up to 65 km/h, travel 1000s of km for fresh pastures AND—despite their elegant looks—pack a powerful kick that can be deadly!

Biboon is the Anishinaabe word for winter. Part of the word, *Boon*, means 'stop,' a gentle reminder from nature to pause and recharge. Just as the land rests under a blanket of snow, we too need this time to reflect, restore and renew. ❄️. RT if you agree. 💙
