She reflects on Canada\u2019s unique natural legacy, her organization's successes, the state of environmental reporting in the nature-rich nation, how she sees \u2018The Narwhal\u2019 filling the gaps in historically neglected stories and viewpoints, and why something as universally appreciated as nature can still be a polarizing topic.
