Nikon 100th Anniversary celebration – Switzerland

Great honour to be invited as the keynote speaker for the opening of the Nikon 100th Anniversary celebration in Zurich – Switzerland and great week-end with two full-house talks.

Thanks to Nikon for giving me the right tools for my work and be a Nikon Ambassador, but – most importantly – thanks for giving me the opportunity to be a Nature Ambassador and be the voice of creatures that cannot speak up.

On November 16th – 2017 while crossing the Drake Passage on my way back after a full month in Antarctica and South Georgia working at my lifelong project on climate change,

The society was founded in 1929 with the important mandate of making Canada better known to Canadians and to the world. During this period, the society,  led the charge towards fostering a deeper appreciation of Canada’s natural, cultural and social heritage.

I am proud and deeply humbled by this recognition as conservation and education have been my life’s calling throughout my career.
