Saving polar bears

Posted by Willie — 21 March 2010 at 7:39pm - Comments

As iconic species go, the polar bear is quite literally up there. They are emblematic of the top-most chunk of the planet, as well as the emotive symbol of the effects of catastrophic climate change.

Polar bears are quite impressive. They are the world’s largest land predator, and undoubted 'rulers' of their ice kingdom. In popular culture they exist as cuddly toys, heroic fighters, and fashion accessories for Lady GaGa (don’t worry, I checked, it’s fake).

Polar bears

The Arctic is experiencing some of the most rapid and severe climate change on the planet. Diminishing ice is pushing polar bears, caribou and reindeer towards extinction. And as their snowy world melts, ours begins to shrink as sea level rise will have devastating affects in the UK and around the globe.
