Polar bears need your help!
Polar bears need our help. There are only 20-25,000 of these majestic bears scattered throughout the Arctic, and rising temperatures and industrial pollution are driving them to the brink of extinction.
But there is hope! In December, officials at the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service announced a proposal to list polar bears as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act.
Securing this "threatened" status will provide crucial protections that can help ensure the survival of our polar bears.

The deadline for public comments is Monday, April 9th -- please don't delay!
Human activities have put polar bears in danger-the future of the species is threatened both by pollution and climate change.
Toxic pollution from industrial emissions builds up in the food chain. By the time it reaches polar bears at the top of the food chain it's strong enough to cause birth defects and inhibit development.
Global warming also causes Arctic ice to melt earlier in the summer and freeze later in the winter, shortening the polar bears' hunting season. For every week lost on the ice, the bears lose about 22 pounds of fat. Thinner bears tend to give birth to fewer cubs. Rising global temperatures have caused polar bears' birth rates to decline by 15% in recent years!
Under current conditions, without additional protections, our polar bears will be extinct within the century!
Click here to help save polar bears by urging the Fish & Wildlife Service to list them as a threatened species.
For more than 30 years, the Endangered Species Act has prevented the extinction of animals like bald eagles, grizzly bears, and manatees. We must extend these crucial protections to our polar bears before it is too late to save them.
There are only have 7 days left to support stronger protections for our polar bears. Click here to send in your comments today.
Once you've sent your comments, please take a moment to forward this message to your friends, family, and co-workers so that they can add their voices to the call for increased protections for polar bears!
Thank you again for your support.
