In Honor of International Polar Bear Day, Spectacular Pictures of a Threatened Species
A multi-partisan activist group established to expose and resist US imperialism, corpora-terrorism, and the New World Order
In Honor of International Polar Bear Day, Spectacular Pictures of a Threatened Species | 27 Feb 2015 | A polar bear watches her cubs on the Hudson Bay in Manitoba, Canada. The bay is famous for polar bears, but their population is in decline. According to Steven C. Amstrup, chief scientist for Polar Bears International (PBI), rising temperatures have extended the duration of summer, melting ice in the Hudson Bay and forcing polar bears to live on shore for longer stretches of time. “They live on the sea ice, and they catch their food from the surface of the sea ice,” he said. “When they're on the shore, they lose about two pounds of body weight a day. They've adapted to being food-deprived for quite a while, but there are limits as to how far they can go.”
