Are polar bears endangered right now?
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.
