Hang on

Ursula, the polar bear, used to be at the top of the Arctic food chain, but now even she has a predator - climate change. She is a mother and a fighter, wrapping her furry arms around her precious cubs, and hanging onto her beloved homeland as it slowly melts away. She is adapting and she won't give in, even if her world changes so fast.

After being shot in Russia at -32°C (-26°F), this artwork was originally released on Helga's Instagram for the Earth Day 2021 - and was featured by DesignBoom, thepinklemonade and many other accounts.

This is Helga's inaugural NFT.

25% of proceeds from sales will go to Trees for the Future. It is a regenerative agroforestry nonprofit that works closely with farmers in Africa to help plant trees and change lives. TREES staff train farmers in a sustainable farming technique called the Forest Garden Approach - which restores and protects degraded land while ending hunger and poverty for the farmer and their family. To date, TREES has planted 215 million trees around the world and helped more than 200,000 people.
