Polar bears in peril this Sunday on Think Globally Radio

Polar bears have become an unlikely symbol of global warming, as their icy habitats are threatened by the changing Arctic climate. We are very happy to welcome Tom Arnbom, a polar bear expert and adventurer from the WWF to Think Globally Radio this Sunday to tell of his recent expedition to the Russian Arctic, where he observed polar bears in their natural habitat, and the effect climate change has had on the conditions necessary for the survival of the Earth’s largest land carnivore.

We have all sorts of highly interesting guests on the show, but it will be extra exciting this Sunday to talk to a true field researcher who will share his first hand encounters, observations and anecdotes from one of the "front lines" of climate change.

This episode of Think Globally Radio coincides with the polar bear and Arctic theme this weekend at the Swedish Natural History Museum, where photographs and videos from the Russian Arctic, as well as lectures by Mr. Arnbom, will be featured all day Saturday and Sunday, 26-27 January.
