Absolutely and unequivocally they have made incredible gains over the past 100 years. From lows of under 1000 bears we now believe that there are over 20,000 bears (possibly as high as 26,000) roaming the ice and swimming the waters of the Arctic. This is why they are not on the endangered species list and why countries even allow selective hunting of these creatures.

A recent survey of 19 separate population groups did show that some areas could see reductions in their numbers. These population centers included: Baffin Bay, Kane Basin, Western Hudson Bay, Lancaster Sound and Norwegian Bay. Of these five groups the possible population numbers show possible increases that are lower than the increases found on other areas.

What can you do to help the polar bears live?

They are a threatened species and still in peril from melting ice and temperature changes in the Arctic, pollution in the food chain and loss of habitat. The IUCN Red List of Endangered Species lists the polar bear population trend as "decreasing". You can help polar bear conservation programs by volunteering time, there are many charitable organizations who are working on polar bear conservation who could help you find ways to volunteer to help. Or you can help by charitable donations to conservation groups such as Sierra Club. Speak out for them and their environmental needs and encourage others to do the same. Contact your Congress Representatives and ask them to put conservation of polar bears on their priority lists.Apparently you should encourage more people to participate in enviromental things because there is possibly nothing to do BUT I will say this you can donate money by calling the number on the screen when the commercial comes on for a new home for the bears because that's what I do.
