Check out this June issue of National Geographic magazine. Florian is featured in a 16 pages article about the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge  - “A Refuge At Risk”.


Florian: When this grizzly bear saw me from the distance, it quickly came closer to investigate. I was photographing caribou on the coastal plane of the Arctic Refuge. Very few people visit this wilderness. Maybe this bear had never seen a person before. It rose up on its hind legs to get a better look, waving its paws for balance.The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is now threatened by oil development. The current administration has opened up the coastal planes of the Arctic Refuge for oil development, which would destroy the home of this bear and the birthing ground of the Porcupine caribou herd. Speak up for the Refuge by emailing the BLM until June 19th: blm_ak_coastalplain_eis@blm.gov
