Comment
In a dizzying dive, the peregrine falcon swoops down on its prey at over 300 km/h. This extraordinary bird of prey is increasingly found in urban environments, with skyscrapers taking the place of the cliffs where it usually nests. Its near-extinction prompted the banning of DDT, a clear illustration of human impact on the environment.Show your passion for Canada's wilderness... rich in treasures to be preserved
Nature is magnificent in Canada. These splendid pieces showcase classic (and endangered!) specimens with the cutting-edge artistry that made the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games medals world-famous.
Renowned Native American artist Corrine Hunt has embraced traditional Tlingit and Kwakwaka'wakw motifs to create a special edition of collectible artworks. A visual poem, each drawing brings to the ancestral values of conservation and respect a contemporary expression marked by the power of the line and the studied simplicity of the composition.
In 2011, proclaimed International Year of Forests, it's time to reflect on nature's role in combating global warming and preserving environmental balance.
