There are probably more than 20,000 polar bears in the wild. However they are in danger because of global warming and their habitat melting. Winter sea ice is melting earlier each year, meaning the bears have less time to build up their food reserves (in the form of fat) to last them through the largely foodless summer.
Here are the details:
- Global warming is melting the sea ice in the Arctic.
- Polar bears rely on long winters of frozen ice to hunt seals (in dens under the ice).
- They need good reserves of food (blubber) to last them through summer when they can't hunt seals.
- Winters are getting shorter and the ice is melting earlier.
- Bears are weaker and summers are longer, so some move to land and scavenge in rubbish bins.
- Weaker female bears can not bear and raise cubs successfully.
- We are burning the oil and coal that is causing global warming. We have to change to renewable energy!
The polar bear is not extinct. Many companies and other helpful people are trying to raise money and save it.
