Save the Arctic by Laura Whitelock

Artist StatementEven though the arctic circle is shared by 8 different countries, the population of people who live within the frozen circle is less than 4 million total. That is less than half of New York Cities population. So unfortunately, the environmental concerns of the arctic are often summed up by: out of sight, out of mind. But, one who is acutely aware of the changes in the climate and arctic environment is the Polar Bear, whose population is rapidly decreasing. It is estimated that their habitat will be completely eliminated within the next 100 years. What an incredible loss. - Laura Whitelock
