Yes, polar bears are listed as Threatened on the main endangered species lists. See the related question below for more information about their listing and status.
At present, there are beteen 20000-25000 polar bears, and they are considered "Threatened", by the IUCN, not an endangered species at this time.Polar bears have never been extinct. Though they were on the endangered species list the numbers are now recovering and still considered 'at risk'.
Polar bears are losing ground in the Arctic due to loss of the polar ice cap but not yet listed as endangered. They are considered a vulnerable species, however. In some areas they are still quite common.
As of now, the polar bear is a vulnerable species, not on the endangered species list, as some populations are increasing.
Polar bears are not becoming extinct, for fact they are growing in population, but they will become extinct because of us humans. Using up to much energy and green house gases which pollute are atmosphere which causes global warming , therefore it warms Earth and melts the sea ice and the The polar bear depends on the sea ice to hunt.
The generally accepted definition of an endangered species is one that faces a very high risk of extinction in the near future. Polar bears do not fit this definition yet because there are still about 20,000 individuals living in the wild. The loss of sea ice in the Arctic in recent years, however, poses a serious threat to polar bear habitat. Polar bears can only hunt seals, their main source of food, when the seas are frozen. When the sea ice melts, the bears are stuck on land where there isn't much food available for them. As the ice melts for longer periods each year, there is a growing danger that the bears can't get enough food in the winter to sustain them through the other three seasons. For that reason, the U.S. Dept. of Interior decided in 2008 to list the polar bear as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), ruling that loss of habitat puts polar bears at risk of becoming endangered in the foreseeable future.
The Yukon groups show between 5,000 to 7,500. The total population of polar bears a few decades ago was under 1,000. Thankfully, these creatures are not endangered and their population is still growing.
there are only large ones and small ones and they are all white. They are still growing in numbers and are far from endangered.
As of June 2nd, 2011, according to the IUCN Red List website, the status of the Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus) is Vulnerable with a decreasing population trend. While this rating is NOT the same as 'Endangered', they are still in danger.Where? Wherever the bears live, which is on sea ice and land in the Arctic Circle.
Polar bears still live in the same habitat.
Since 1973 there have laws restricting hunting of polar bears. Some numbers are still authorised in some countries.Since 2004 there are global bans on polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), a synthetic chemical that is still weakening polar bears.
