Robert W. Buchanan and his wife Carolyn founded Polar Bears International in 2002.  Under Robert's leadership, PBI has grown into an organization with an international scope, supporting projects throughout the circumpolar North and reaching audiences as far away as Japan and Australia with a strong conservation message. Funding provided by PBI helped support research that led to the listing of the polar bear as a threatened species by the U.S. government.  This non-advocacy NGO has become the “Go To” organization for polar bear research, education, and empowerment. 

Recently Robert and Carolyn retired from PBI to start an advocacy movement that focuses on uniting sustainable action groups into a worldwide movement called Arctic Action Teams and using this as a vehicle to provide infrastructure for establishing hope through action.
