Are you curious about how they survive in the freezing cold climate of the permafrost peatlands? Maybe the words &#8220;caribou&#8221; and &#8220;permafrost&#8221; are brand new to you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, we&#8217;ve got great news for you! This year, Earth Rangers is partnering with Yifeng Wang, a geography researcher from Queen&#8217;s University. She studies the permafrost peatlands that caribou call home. She wants to know how climate change is affecting the permafrost and how we can preserve this beautiful ecosystem for generations of caribou to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is your chance to ask Yifeng anything about the important work she does! Do you want to know what caribou do with their big antlers? Are you wondering how the ground stays permanently frozen in the permafrost peatlands? Maybe you want to know how Yifeng decided to study geography &#8211; or how she stays warm when she&#8217;s working in the Arctic circle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever you want to know, sound off in the comments! We&#8217;ll send your questions to Yifeng, and she&#8217;ll answer three to five of her favorites. Stay tuned on the Wild Wire blog for her responses, and for more chances to ask our researchers questions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, head over to&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/theearthrangersshop.com\/\">the Earth Rangers Shop<\/a>&nbsp;to purchase your own caribou adoption kit and support Yifeng&#8217;s work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCN5215-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-600762\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCN5215-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCN5215-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCN5215-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCN5215-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCN5215-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCN5215-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCN5215-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCN5215-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCN5215-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCN5215-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCN5215-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCN5215-265x198.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A caribou family that Yifeng spotted on her most recent research trip in the permafrost peatlands!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Do you have any questions for Yifeng Wang?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"173\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Caribou-SponsorPlatesENG.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-599160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Caribou-SponsorPlatesENG.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Caribou-SponsorPlatesENG-300x87.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Caribou-SponsorPlatesENG-150x43.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever wondered where caribou got their distinctive name?
