The
Buffalo Zoo will team up with Kleinhans Music Hall to present the Western New York debut of National Geographic Live: An
Evening with Paul Nicklen.
The event
will take place on Tuesday, March 4, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. at Kleinhans.
Paul
Nicklen is a renowned National Geographic photographer and biologist, working
mostly in arctic climates. A unique childhood among the Inuit in Canada ’s Arctic
and a professional background as a biologist enable Nicklen to take on the most
inhospitable places on our planet, often working in sub-zero temperatures. His
images reflect a reverence for the creatures inhabiting these isolated and
threatened environments, and he hopes that his work will put real faces on
climate change, making it impossible to ignore.
