There’s a wonderful short video about Steven Amstrup — what drives him, and how he’s helping polar bears and also in the process all of Earth’s species (including and especially Homo sapiens) — here (scroll down, click the arrow; 6:23). It’s at the website for the Indianapolis Prize, which he won in 2012. He speaks at Ohio State May 14.
The world’s leading polar bear scientist, Steven Amstrup, headlines the next Environmental Professionals Network breakfast at Ohio State May 14.
