We will of course be looking at comparisons to the Arctic. WWF are doing a Walrus count from space, all you need to take part, is a willing grown up to oversee the counting and computer time. I thought it would be a wonderful way to develop the skill of 1:1 counting and number recording through a real life situation. If you'd like to sign up please use the link below:
