In 2006 and 2007 Frontiers North’s Tundra Buggy® Adventure partnered with National Geographic, Polar Bears International and WildlifeHD.com to bring the Polar Bear Cam, a free, live, wild polar bear video to wildlife enthusiasts tuning into the National Geographic website.

From a camera mounted on Tundra Buggy One, roaming the tundra near Churchill, Manitoba, during October and November, we broadcasted live polar bear video to the National Geographic website reaching an estimated audience of 11 million viewers.

This initiative was a major opportunity to showcase Churchill as the ‘Polar Bear Capital of the World’ and Manitoba as the gateway to polar bears. On behalf of Manitoba’s tourism industry, we gratefully acknowledge the role National Geographic played in this initiative.

As well, we recognize the importance of the National Geographic - Polar Bear Cam broadcast to help accomplish Polar Bears International’s goal of “Conservation through research and education”. With this project we were able to generate polar bear awareness to an audience not accessible on our own.
