Take Action To Save Polar Bears
Mar 9, 2007


As global warming changes the planet's climate system, polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate. Habitat for polar bears is literally melting out from under them. The last two years were the worst ever recorded for sea ice loss, and if current trends continue, the Arctic will be ice free in summer by 2040. Polar bears live solely in the Arctic and won't survive without sea ice.

Scientists now believe the Polar Bear could be extinct by 2050 if we do not stop global warming. Many other species will follow.

To save the polar bear, we have to act now. Responding to a successful lawsuit filed by Greenpeace and other organizations, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is now considering listing the polar bear as a threatened species. They have asked for public comments and, naturally, they need to hear from us.

Take Action!

Time is running out. There's still a long way to go before the polar bear is officially listed as threatened, and then the government must take action to protect them. The stakes couldn't be higher. Please continue fighting with us as we work to save the polar bears, the Arctic environment, and our planet's climate system!

Peace!
