Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are the largest land carnivores on Earth! These amazing animals are perfectly adapted to life in the Arctic with their thick fur, black skin to absorb heat, and large padded paws. Did you know that an adult male can weigh up to 1,500 pounds?

Polar bears rely on sea ice as their primary habitat. They use it as a platform for hunting seals, traveling, finding mates, and creating dens. The Arctic ecosystem is their home, spanning across Canada, Greenland, Norway, Russia, and Alaska.

Climate change is causing Arctic sea ice to melt earlier in spring and form later in fall. This means polar bears have less time to hunt seals and build up crucial fat reserves. Scientists estimate that Arctic sea ice is declining at a rate of 13% per decade.

How Climate Change is Threatening the Arctic's Wildlife (4K Documentary)

As sea ice diminishes, polar bears struggle to find food. They primarily hunt ringed and bearded seals, catching them when they come up for air through holes in the ice. With less ice, bears are forced to swim longer distances, using more energy and risking starvation.

Research shows that some polar bear populations are declining due to climate change. The Southern Beaufort Sea population decreased by about 40% between 2001-2010. Bears are spending more time on land, leading to increased human-bear conflicts.

Polar bears are listed as 'Threatened' under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. This provides legal protection and requires federal action to prevent further population decline. Many countries have signed agreements to protect polar bear habitats.

Polar Bear Program | U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The primary objective of our polar bear program is to ensure that polar bear populations in Alaska remain a healthy, functioning component of the Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort seas ecosystems. Alaska shares the Southern Beaufort Sea polar bear stock with Canada and the Bering/Chukchi Seas polar bear stock with the Russian Federation. Both populations are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act and have been listed as Threatened since 2008 under the Endangered Species Act due to the threat posed by loss of sea-ice due to climate change climate change Climate change includes both global warming driven by human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. Though there have been previous periods of climatic change, since the mid-20th century humans have had an unprecedented impact on Earth’s climate system and caused change on a global scale. Learn more about climate change and inadequacy of existing mechanisms to curtail that threat.

The most important way to help polar bears is to address climate change. This includes reducing greenhouse gas emissions, supporting renewable energy, and making sustainable choices in our daily lives. Every action counts!

Students can make a difference! Support polar bear conservation by learning about climate change, sharing knowledge with others, reducing energy use, and supporting organizations that work to protect Arctic habitats. Remember: small changes add up to big impacts!
