The Arctic is a vast, diverse landscape filled with
life. Here, caribou in the hundreds of thousands still embark on epic
migrations across mighty rivers, mountains, and coastal plains. Here,
wetlands, lakes and oceans teem with life, supporting whales, polar
bears, seals and waterfowl. And here, the unique, resilient cultures of
native peoples such as the Inupiat and the Gwich'in still embrace a way
of life rooted in thousands of years of experience. Without awareness
and protection, this amazing habitat is at risk from changes in climate
and resource extraction. I hope you’re able to attend and experience
these beautiful images and hear their compelling message.
