In this episode, Amber invited Larissa Thelin from Polar Bear International as the guest speaker, to explore the opportunities and challenges on social media in the Arctic. From the present situation of polar bears, to the educational communication that Larissa is doing, it is highlighting the hope that Arctic knowledge can be accessible to more people, and letting them understand this region, species, and nature. The PBI not only achieved SDGs with the Arctic and polar bear conservation as climate actions, but also got in touch with childrens. We hope that all the efforts people are working on the Arctic can truly increase awareness, and shall be protecting the Arctic together for a sustainable, bright future.
