spotlight on Polar Bears International

According to their website, Polar Bears International is made up of a passionate team of conservationists, scientists, and volunteers—working to secure a future for polar bears across the Arctic. Their mission is to conserve polar bears and the sea ice they depend on. Through media, science, and advocacy, they work to inspire people to care about the Arctic, the threats to its future, and its connection to our global climate.

• Conduct, support, and share scientific research that informs polar bear conservation.

• Educate an international audience about polar bear conservation and provide mentorship for the actions that will help ensure their survival.

• Proactively and effectively communicate science-based information on polar bears and their conservation.
