JOSH DUHAMEL VISITS THE POLAR BEARS

Actor Josh Duhamel joined elite polar bear scientists and traveled via Tundra Buggy to the shores of the Hudson Bay near Churchill, Manitoba, to see the effects of climate change and how it's affecting the polar bears.

"I'm blown away by the beauty of seeing these awesome creatures up close and personal," says Duhamel. "I wanted to see the effects of climate change and confront the contradictory claims about polar bears first-hand. The plight of the polar bear is a symbol of what's going on globally."

As part of Polar Bears International's Project thermo-STAT, Duhamel encourages viewers around the world to take actions that can reduce carbon footprints; impacting the future of polar bears.
