A Sweet 16 Celebration with Polar Bears International
There is plenty to celebrate this month during NNOCCI’s Sweet Sixteen, and our friends at Polar Bears International (PBI) will be joining the party LIVE from Churchill, the “Polar Bear Capital of the World” (and yes, there may be bears)! Mark your calendar for this cool celebration on October 27th @ 3 pm ET / 12 pm PT (link in bio)
For over a decade, NNOCCI has partnered with PBI to bring effective, hopeful, and actionable climate communication into the world of polar bear conservation. During this panel, PBI’s Director of Conservation Programs, Marissa Krouse, and Conservation Outreach Manager, Kayla McCurry, will be joined by NNOCCI President, Kait Birghenthal; together, they will dive into the two organizations’ incredible shared history in the global climate movement. Before a Q&A, we’ll hear from polar bear researcher and NNOCCI Trainer, Kiersten King, including lessons on how she shares her polar bear appreciation with others while also effectively communicating toward climate action!

Perhaps a wild bear may even come by the party, which seems entirely fair, as a group of polar bears IS called a celebration!
