Polar bear populations and the sea ice they rely on are shrinking yearly.
Polar Bears International is on a mission to save both.
- They use science, media, and advocacy to educate and inspire people worldwide to care about the Arctic region.
- They help people connect our global climate crisis to an area so remote most will never see it.
The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is a proud funding partner, and several Zoo staff act as PBI “Arctic Ambassadors,” working together on research, education, and action programs.
Success Story
Recently, two dedicated members of the Columbus Zoo team embarked on an impactful journey to the Climate Alliance Summit in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. Hosted by Polar Bears International (PBI) and the National Network for Ocean and Climate Change Interpretation (NNOCCI), the Climate Alliance program unites staff from organizations committed to enhancing animal well-being, reducing CO2 emissions, and effectively communicating about climate change and solutions in their communities.
