Grylls Response to Working with Global Leaders - before Obama now Modi
Bear Grylls while speaking to ANI said-“I have had a huge privilege of taking President Obama on a trip to Alaska a few years ago to show him the effects of climate change up close. They were similar, in the sense of being iconic global world leaders, but (trips were in) different terrains. Alaska was very cold, but where we went with Prime Minister Modi was a rainforest, hot and humid. What was similar was that they were there for the same purpose – for driving this message of ‘we have to protect the environment’. We have got to back big conservation projects and look after our world.”
