The Home Of The Polar Bear

1980s - 2022 CE

Polar bears rely on sea ice to hunt, breed, roam, and sometimes to den. But the Arctic is warming and ice is melting due to human-caused climate change. Already, in parts of the Arctic, longer ice-free seasons and longer fasting periods have led to a decline in some polar bear populations. Research shows that without action to greatly reduce carbon emissions and stabilize our climate, we could lose all but a few polar bear populations by the end of the century.

  • Support policies and organizations working to protect Arctic habitats and combat climate change.

  • Reduce plastic waste and participate in cleanup efforts, as ocean pollution affects the Arctic food chain that polar bears depend on.
