The Why

The Arctic is changing fast. Sea ice and glaciers are our planet’s early-warning system.

 

Every change we make affects someone or something—so we choose change that heals.

 

Hope is active. When we act together, big dreams become reality.

Adapting To Rapid Change

We’ve seen polar bears on Svalbard hunting reindeer—a behavior that wasn’t common before. 

 

Polar bears are extraordinary predators, but their primary hunting strategies are tied to sea ice. Turning to reindeer suggests desperation, a shift driven by hunger and the lack of their usual prey. 

 

This adaptation highlights how the Arctic’s entire food web is being disrupted by climate change. These changes aren’t just localized to Svalbard—they’re affecting the entire Arctic Circle.
