A U.S. Geological Survey of May 2008, scientists stated that the current population was estimated to be at more than 20,000 polar bears world wide. They stated that the populations were on the decline in Canada's Western Hudson Bay, and Southern Beaufort Sea. Of Canada's thirteen polar bear populations, two were decreasing, four were increasing, and the rest are listed as stable.
Currently, there are around 23,000 polar bears in the wild. In 1970, there were around 8000.
The Polar Bear population is difficult to survey. Their constant movements over ice floes, without territory boundaries and the harsh living conditions makes birth and death record maintenance an extremely difficult task.
The working estimate used by biologists is (2012) between 20,000 and 25,000 total Polar Bears.
They range across the borders of Alaska to Russia, from Canada to Greenland, and into Norway's Svalbard archipelago. It's believed that 60 percent of these Polar Bears live in Canada.
They are listed as "Vulnerable" according to the IUCN Red List. While the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services Endangered Species List has them listed as "Threatened". Russia and Canada have also listed the Polar Bear as a "Species of Concern".
Recent studies show a 22% decline in populations in the Canada's Western Hudson Bay populations, since the early 1980s.
There are many studies completed and ongoing into the survival of this species. For more details, please see the sites listed below.
Latest estimates are between 23000-25000 animals.
Well sir, there are 3 polar bears in the world. These money loving jackweeds who give pollution to the world ultimately melt the polar ice caps. The polars bears live on da' ice caps. There was once 4 billion ca-zillion polars on this planet but now there are only 3. Make that 2, one just drowned. :)
The population is around 23000 to 25000.
The total population is around 25000.
The current population of the polar bear is around 20,000-25,000.
