Polar Bears

NEW:Adopt a Polar Bear!

Polar bears are drowning to death because of global warming.
The bears are completely dependent on Arctic sea ice to survive, but 80 percent of that ice could be gone in 20 years and all of it by 2040. Polar bears are already suffering the effects: birth rates are falling, fewer cubs are surviving, and more bears are drowning. The Bush Administration's proposal to list the polar bear as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act is a crucial first step toward ensuring a future for these magnificent Arctic creatures. Yet the administration's proposal does not designate "critical habitat" for protection, even though melting habitat from global warming is the main threat to the polar bear's survival.


What can YOU do?

1) Tell the Bush Administration to protect polar bears!

2) Daily things you can do to stop global warming

3) Donate to the cause

4) Sign an international petition to stop global warming

5) Tell your friends about the bears
