And for more information about Paul Nicklen (including expanded bio, program outlines, more videos, speaking fees, etc.) see: https://speaking.com/speakers/paul-nicklen/ Growing up as one of the few non-Inuit residents of a settlement on Baffin Island, Canada, Paul Nicklen has been intimately involved with the natural world since his childhood. This experience, coupled with his first career as a biologist in the Northwest Territories, uniquely equipped him for his work as a photojournalist in some of the world’s most difficult terrains. Nicklen’s highly praised work for National Geographic presents vivid and intimate portraits of one of the planet’s harshest regions and its wildlife, focusing especially on the effect which climate change is bringing to the polar regions. Nicklen’s astonishing photographs and amazing stories – of working 100 feet below the ice in 29° water, diving with leopard seals, and many more – bring the dangers of climate change to life in a way that no academic thesis can and inspire others to care as much about this astonishing environment as he does. The recipient of more than twenty international awards, including Nature: First Prize Story from World Press Photo, Nicklen has had more than twenty stories published in National Geographic as well as in many other publications around the world. His book Bear: Spirit of the Wild tells an evocative tale of the bears of North America, and his much-praised debut work Polar Obsession is being reprinted in 2015.
