Champions for Polar Bears

LC Group Inspired, empowered, and ready to make a difference by reducing CO2 and saving arctic sea ice. That's how
PBI Leadership Camp participants felt after a week on the tundra during the polar bear migration:

What an amazing experience: Being face to face with a wild polar bear-inches away from the real thing. Feeling the northern wind blow on my face and the tundra under my feet. I can't wait to do big things!

Big Names. Big Bears. Big Science.

Have you ever wondered what's it like to work with wild polar bears as the sea ice shifts and c-r-a-c-k-s and northern lights ripple across the sky?
