Josh Duhamel Chills With Polar Bears International

Josh Duhamel, star of Transformers and engaged to Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas, isn’t content to just play a hero on the big screen. The big-hearted hottie hung with scientists from the non-profic organization Polar Bears International at Hudson Bay close to Churchill, Manitoba, in Canada, in order to get a first-hand look at how climate change is hurting the polar bears. While there, he toured the area and recorded a PSA for Polar Bears International.

Duhamel bundled up and talked to ET Canada, saying, “The bears sort of symbolize something global and if we think globally, we have to think locally and if we’re thinking locally we have to be conscious of things we can do to reduce, you know? They’re just amazing creatures, they’re just awesome. The more I learn, the more interesting they are.”

He’s absolutely right, and I’m so glad to see a well-known celebrity taking the opportunity to bring attention to these incredible bears. They’re a potentially endangered species, and with ice shrinking in Russia, Alaska, and Canada, their numbers are shrinking, too.
