We would like to thank everyone who attended our event ‘Save the Poles, Save the Planet’ at Canada House on Monday 4th November 2019. We are proud to have brought together such an amazing group of people to celebrate the launch of our exciting new partnership with the Students on Ice Foundation, to exchange on the Students on Ice’s 2019 Arctic Expedition, on climate change, biodiversity and indigenous communities.

The evening also included a dynamic panel discussion on the challenges, opportunities and recent successes in establishing Marine Protected Areas in the Polar regions.

Thank you to the prominent Arctic and Antarctic experts who spoke during the panel discussion:

Geoff Green C.M. Founder, Executive Director & Expedition Leader, Students on Ice Foundation

Paul Rose Explorer, Expedition Leader, Broadcaster

Dr Rachel Carr Senior Lecturer in Physical Geography, University of Newcastle
