We’ve shared the same mission for several decades — to protect the world’s wild places and take you to see them. Now we’re sharing an avenue for telling you the stories of conservation and travel.

We’ve combined the storytelling power of the world’s top nature travel provider with the world’s leading conservation organization to tell you, in words, pictures and videos, about the top places in the world to visit and protect.

WWF and Nat Hab have worked together for more than a decade. The more we see how closely aligned our travel and conservation philosophies are, the stronger our ties get. On our new blog, you’ll read that in the words of Candice Gaukel Andrews, one of the top nature and conservation columnists in the country. You’ll see it in the photography of Brad Josephs, Eric Rock and Dave Luck, some of the best nature photographers in the world. You’ll understand the impassioned work of WWF scientists and researchers all over the world through the stories and interviews we share about them.

Run by a corps of former newspaper and magazine journalists, Good Nature Travel is the top go-to source for news, features and photography about conservation travel.

The fourth day of our Great Amazon Voyage presented a special treat: a visit to the largest reserve in Peru. Compared to the Amazon River basin closer to the city of Iquitos, the difference in wildlife and trees found in the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve was considerable. Thicker trees and of more variety. Dozens of bird species popping up at a moment’s notice. More mammals and fewer humans.

Spend the morning in the reserve with us during this slideshow diary.

Jon Hoekstra, WWF's chief scientist, had the chance to witness a polar bear released from "polar bear jail" while on a trip in Churchill, Canada.  Jon captured this video live with Google Glass.

On the surface it seems like a trivial question, one that simply requires reviewing your summer schedule. However, an experience in Katmai varies widely from one month to the next due to different bear behavior and activities. So when should you go, July or August?
