Polar bears are progressively more becoming threatened due to several factors including industry projects, ice in their natural environment melting, as well as human interaction. By a long way the biggest culprit is the adjustment in the natural environment of the polar bear. Numerous life-threatening conditions are actually produced for these cold climate bears when the ice melts. World-wide warming that is tied to industrialization as well as activities such as driving a car, burning coal, as well as additional human projects causes the ice melting.
Ice melting need to be actually a primary focus of conservation efforts for the polar bear as this is actually impacting the polar bear the most. Polar bears rely on large stops of floating ice to do their day-to-day actions linked to enduring. Polar bears prey on fat-laden seals from these blocks of ice, they mate, as well as some also deliver their cubs on them. The trouble by having the ice melting is that numerous polar bears have actually gone hungry considering there is not ample ice for them to hunt their prey. This impacts their capability to reproduce and bring their cubs to term that directly impacts population amounts. Even, when ice is actually likewise far from land, polar bears will certainly drown trying to swim a long way distances to locate them. All of these issues have actually made the polar bear more land bound.
That Is Helping, and How
Major contributors to the fight to save the Arctic Polar Bear feature the Coca-Cola Provider as well as the Globe Fauna Fund. Collectively these organizations are raising cash to analysis exactly what is actually inducing global climate change as well as working by having governmental agencies to manipulate greenhouse gasoline discharges. Additional major ventures include energies to eliminate unfavorable mortal interactions providing poaching as well as exceptional travel and leisure and shielding crucial habitat locations such as birthing dens.
Practical knowledge is power. Emerge as more enlightened concerning this crucial theme by dropping by Polar Bears at World Wild Life.
Which animal is closer to extinction: sea turtle, manatee, or polar bear?? thx
i think it is sea turtle.
Polar bear.Don’t people use their fur for fur coats?
Id say all three, I dont think their are many if any manatee in the wild and the polar bears ice cap is shrinking by the day due to global warming havent heard much on the sea turtle front either so yeah all three is my guess…..
The extinction of polar bears natural? When you think about it animals becoming extinct has been going on since the beginning of the world. I don’t think it would necessarily be a bad thing.People did not become emotionally involved when dinosaurs died out. Why would it be any different with a polar bear other than it is cute. Isn’t this just another gradual natural process of evolution like the dinosaurs? Ok, I can see alot of people are emotional about this. I am not hoping the polar bears become extinct. The opposite, I think they are beautiful creatures and would be sadly missed in our life time but I think it is eventually going to happen. I don’t know that I believe the population is up 300%.
People weren’t around when the dinosaurs died out. If polar bears became extinct due to natural processes, that would be one thing. However, if they became extinct because of human activity, that would be an entirely different matter. We need to be better stewards of our planet and the life upon it. Biodiversity is a great advantage of our Earth! If you are not concerned about the polar bear becoming extinct, will you be concerned about the next life form to become extinct? Where do you draw the line? Will it finally be when humans are on the endangered list?
Dude, It isn’t a gradual process! Humans are responsible for the deterioration of polar bears. In prehistoric times humans weren’t there, thus they could have no emotional connection. However Polar bears live in our era and we are to take good care of them. We aren’t though, because of our avarice for electricity. I mean we need electricity, but not as much as we are currently using. The polar ice caps are melting, thus the polar bears are losing homes. They then try to swim to the next one and before they get there they are fatigued and they then die. In a nutshell, it isn’t just another gradual process, because polar bears weren’t meant to be extinct! I’m sorry to be a tad harsh but on the topic of global warming I become emotional. PS. SAVE OUR POLAR BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The present population is up 300%.
NO, THE POLAR BEARS ARE NEARING EXTINCTION DUE TO THE ENCROACHMENT OF MANKIND ON THEIR NATURAL HABITAT AND THE LOSS OF HABITAT DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING RESULTING FROM THE BURNING OF FOSSIL FUELS AND WOOD.
Species don’t just die out. There is always a reason for it and it’s always because some natural balance was thrown out of whack.
You can’t be serious.
None of the above are ‘so close’ to being extinct; polar bears and most penguins aren’t even endangered. Try learning facts instead of parroting talking points from lying activists.
theyre not close to extinction. polar bears are the closest but theyre only listed under vulnerable theres still healthy populations
While there is some evidence of warming, it is mostly thought to be caused by the natural cycles the Earth has gone through for eons. There are some that try to blame mankind for all of it, and I must admit that the old coal furnaces, leaded gas, and rampant deforestation that happen prior to the the 80′s may have contributed to the global warming in a small part; we are way to small to think we actual can change this planet on a planetary scale for any length of time though!
Baby penguins aren’t close to being extinct – 400 of them got pulled away by strong ocean current. Some others are freezing to death — freezing, got that? Not melting, not separated from mommy penguin because their ice berg split up, freezing to death. Freezing. Not warming. There are more polar bears – about five times as many – as was the case in the 1950s. Sea lions? What about the sea lions. This is what I mean – some of these animals have had issues but there’s no link between those issues and global warming. You might as well throw in the bees too – there’s no evidence that that has ANYTHING to do with global warming but some people are insisting that it must be the result of global warming.
simple….just stop global warming! One thing people dont notice will help: Dont use air conditioners and make sure you shut your computer off instead of sleep mode! Hope this helps!
Get a business to donate something and raffle it off. Or if you can’t get a donation, raffle off a service you can do yourselves like raking leaves for a month or a months free car washes. Great cause! Good luck!
How about collecting old cell phones & getting money for them? I actually wrote an article on how to do this… you can read it at this site: http://www.articlesbase.com/technology-articles/how-to-get-cash-for-old-cell-phones-to-benefit-your-charity-or-cause-293055.html
yes i also agree with your theory.. yes something like this has happened before but here is the difference. We are poluting the air. we are poluting the water, we are poluting the land. and with our carbon monoxide we are depleating the ozone layer. This is going to be very hard on humans I think that in about 100 yrs we may have a new planet to move to but who’s to say that we won’t become extinct by war before then..
Humans have emitted CO2 and CO2 is a greenhouse gas so we have probably added a little bit to the current warming trend. I believe it quite likely that our contribution isn’t enough to significantly alter the natural trends. Warming is a generally a good thing. Those that pretend it is not are pushing an agenda, whether they realize it or not. Those pretending that it is somehow harmful to have warmer night temperatures as Dana constantly does are also biased in my opinion. Bob loves quoting the admiral. Polar bears are actually doing quite well. As with most things about alarmists, facts are inconvenient things to ignore. As you stated warming happened before and the P bears survived. Extinction is necessary for evolution to take place. Liberals, that also overwhelmingly support global warming, are anti-extinction and therefore against the natural mechanisms for evolution. I say that tongue in cheek but there is a some truth to it. They preach the montra of “were changing nature” yet they wish to control it, to regulate it, to treat it as if it were one of their government programs to be managed, but I digress.
This is more related to some of the answers so far. Can we just get something straight here so we can focus on the issue? Both liberals and conservatives are capable of distorting the truth, having ulterior motives, and exploiting science for their own gains. So please don’t use “you’re a liberal”, or “you’re a conservative” to explain why someone is baised, and therefore their oppinion doesn’t matter. As for the question, yes the world has gotten hotter and colder in the past, and life has always moved on, although a lot of global warming supporters are aware of that as well. Sith Lord- the rate of extinction certainly is increasing, but I think we can all agree that at least the vast majority of that is due to things like deforestation and loss of habitat.
Just because past changes in climate were natural doesn’t mean this one is. The data shows that it’s mostly caused by us. Did you really think thousands of climatologists hadn’t considered that possibility? “I wasn?t convinced by a person or any interest group?it was the data that got me. I was utterly convinced of this connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. And I was convinced that if we didn?t do something about this, we would be in deep trouble.? Vice Admiral Richard H. Truly, USN (Ret.) Former NASA Administrator, Shuttle Astronaut Here are two summaries of the mountain of peer reviewed data that convinced Admiral Truly and the vast majority of the scientific community, short and long. http://www.globalwarmingart.com/wiki/Image:Climate_Change_Attribution.png http://ipcc-wg1.ucar.edu/wg1/wg1-report.html summarized at: http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report/ar4/wg1/ar4-wg1-spm.pdf Good websites for more info: http://profend.com/global-warming/ http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/science/ http://www.realclimate.org “climate science from climate scientists” http://environment.newscientist.com/channel/earth/dn11462
No, global warming is not real. The liberals like to make things up. The polar bears have laid spawn inside the oceans, and that will hatch once it washes on shore, thus creating a new breed of bear. Temperate Bears I think is what they’ll be called. We all know they’re just alien spawn anyways. Hybrid cars are spawn from the dinosaurs, in fact. They never really went away. Read more books.
WHAT WILL YOU DO TO HELP THE POLAR BEARS ? SAVE A POLAR BEARS LIFE. Polar Bear is considered a potentially threatened species. That means it would be very easy for the species to become endangered. There are currently between 22,000 and 27,000 Polar Bears in the world. What have Polar bears done to us ? The Least we can do is Cut out littering from our evryday lifes, walk a little bit and quit polluting our oceans and Great waters. Without dramatic cutbacks in global warming pollution, Alaska’s polar bears could face extinction by 2050. YOU COULD CHANGE THAT !

im gonna spend oll my momey on air conditioners and put them all in the artic!
I’d try and donate, I don’t have much money, but probably 5 dollars?? Hope that is enough?
