Recently, we introduced Elaina Wahl, a Columbus, OH teen and the Columbus Zoo’s first Arctic Ambassador. We’re pleased to report that Elaina is now in Churchill, Manitoba, for Polar Bears International’s Polar Bear Leadership Camp. Elaina is meeting students from across the country, learning about polar bears and conservation, and preparing to return to Columbus as the “ultimate Arctic Ambassador, someone others see as an example of a person who truly is a protector of the planet. Kind of like an environmentalist on Red Bull, complete with an outgoing go-green attitude and armed with energy-efficient light bulbs.”

During her time in Manitoba, Elaina will post to an online journal. Keep up with all her adventures with the link in our blog’s sidebar!
