This October, our little explorer Oliver is turning ONE—and to celebrate, we’re taking his first steps into the wild world of conservation! Instead of a traditional birthday party, we’re joining the Wild Walk in support of the Calgary Zoo and Wilder Institute, and inviting our friends and family to walk with us, donate, and help protect wildlife and wild places.

Oliver’s first year has been full of wonder in wild places ranging from the Colombian Andes to the Canadian Rockies. We want to make sure future generations can experience that same magic. By supporting this cause, you’re helping protect endangered species, restore habitats, and fuel the incredible work of conservation scientists at home in Canada and around the globe.

Whether you walk with us, donate, or cheer us on from afar, thank you for being part of Ollie’s First Steps for Conservation. Let’s make his birthday count—for animals, for nature, and for a wilder, more hopeful future.
