Fitz also delves into the origins and popularity of “Fat Bear Week,” an event celebrating the bears' preparation for hibernation. Additionally, he touches on his current work with explore.org, a platform offering live nature cams worldwide, and the importance of preserving natural habitats for species like polar bears.
