Are Arctic Polar Bears Close to Extinction?
They are so cute, cuddly and absolutely vulnerable. Polar bears grab the admiration as well as attention of individuals the world over for their fluffy white furs as well as huggable size. They amass recognition from animal lovers for their searching talent and survival strategies in one of the harshest atmospheres on Planet. However in spite of their mind-boggling attraction these giants are in threat of being wiped off Earth absolutely.
The Bear Basics
Polar bears are actually a huge varieties that make their homes on the frozen Arctic ocean. The bears will waste the majority of their lives on the ice. Males can increase up to ten feet in span and weigh in at over 1,400 pounds! The bears are carnivores, implying they eat the meat of other Arctic animals. At current there are actually predicted to be actually only less than 50 thousands Arctic polar bears left in the wild. They are actually on the Endangered Animal Listing.
When polar bears are on land they are actually more likely to pertain face-to-face with a predator, people. Frequently folks hunt polar bears as prizes and other folks kill polar bears while defending themselves. People additional influence polar bears when companies build infrastructure in their natural atmosphere, consequently changing it irrevocably.
Intervention in the form of authorities controls to reduce mortal impact has been actually highlighted as a top priority in America and other nations. In addition, individual businesses as well as interest collections go on to lobby as well as work with the government to shield this valued animal in its natural habitat. Aside from authorities interference, more research pertaining to international warming is essential so that the climate alteration may be actually stopped or turned around. There are actually agencies that are actually raising money for this surprisingly objective. One more manner communities are actually helping the polar bear is to make use of qualified bear patrol agents to keep the land bound polar bears from individuals and to make certain that the bears are not contending too truly by having the folks for the food resources on land.
Knowledge is actually power. Emerge as additional enlightened about this essential theme by dropping by Polar Bears at World Wild Life.
What Species of animal do you think will be the next to be extinct?Or close to extinction? I think the Polar bear will be the next due to Global warming and the Ice melting…
Thousands of species become extinct every year.
suprisingly, about a species goes extinct about every 6 hours because of all the habitat loss
In America, white people seem to be on a significant population decline. I believe they now make up only about 66% of the population in the U.S.
Mountain Gorilla, African Elephant, Siberian Tiger, several bird species in Hawaii.
Polar bears maybe but I am betting on humans as the next species to go don’t ya think we are the only one killing ourselves not for survival but for greed.
First the animals die because of human overpopulation, then people. Who wants to live in a world where all the animals have died? Even the fish and polar bears in a huge country like Canada are dying, and all over the world animals are dying as farmers and builders dig up the natural habitat of animals. When will religious people stop defending the extinction of animals just to produce more babies and increase membership in their racial or religious sub-groups?
I am Christian and I believe we are supposed to be good stewards of the Earth and it’s animals. We were put in charge over them. It is a directive from God himself to do so. To do nothing less, is a sin. So, don’t lump me in with the rest. I am not of that mindset. Just my humble opinion.
They will stop on March 17 3009.
That’s life, I guess.
its the beginning of the end of the beginning
YaY!
Endangered Species List 1. Taliban 2. Native Americans In few years time 1. Japanese 2. Germans I got a very nice tweet in this today, it said “Its time to shave the bears” By 2050 There will be no Taliban left if we keep killing them at this rate, how much do you donate for that? If you go face to face with bear he’s gonna kill you, same goes for Taliban, yet you pay for bear and not for Taliban? Don’t joke please if Wooly Mammoth disappeared from Earth due to warming why shouldn’t Polar Bear? It’s called “Survival of the fittest”, and it has happened over millions of years which in fact created these polar bear, now its time for them to go.
The Fisheries and Wildlife Service did a survey of polar bear populations in 2006. Their report stated that there were about 22000 bears divided into 20 more or less discrete populations. 2 were increasing and 2 were decreasing, the other 16 were stable. In some areas they had reached their ecologically sustainable level, and that numbers are at their highest since records began. The polar bears are being used by those with a political agenda as propaganda to elicit an emotional response, because they are furry and have big brown eyes. It seems to be working as people hand over the cash without engaging the brain first
Aussies: Can you please save the polar bears before the whales? I was watching my country’s news talking about how to import minke whale throats or something, and I was quite surprised that the news talked about it so casually! Ordinary Japanese people don’t seem to realize that whaling is a bad thing because whale slaughter has been a part of our culture for centuries. They don’t realize that it’s something wrong to do TODAY. But then the news changed to polar bears in danger of extinction. Australians, how about doing something to save the polar bears rather than throwing stink bombs at Japanese whaling ships? I think it’s much more useful than trying to save the whales because the Japanese are stubborn and ignorant they probably won’t give up for quite a while. The polar bears need urgent help. Well I’m saying, if you’re going to do “something”, why not help the polar bears? The Japanese suck so it seems they don’t want to do anything.
Two reasons: 1 The whales actually swim past our coasts on their migration. 2 Japan is hunting whales in our backyard. I would be very surprised if your “traditional” whale hunts were carried on using factory ships in the Southern Ocean.
The thing about whaling is the fact that they are doing it in Australian waters and under the pretense of scientific research. Polar bears are dying in the North Pole a long way from our waters because of global warming.
I don’t think Australians actually eat polar bears. They certainly don’t eat polar bear liver (which is poisonous to humans). But the main reason is that it is easy to save whales: stop eating them and the populations will recover naturally. Whales are not naturally a species in crisis: if they become extinct it will be our fault. It is much more difficult to protect polar bears. The bears have evolved to exploit a specific environmental niche very efficiently – now it seem that niche is being threatened. Polar bears are threatened both by global warming, and by changes in the ocean currents. At present we could not fix those problems even if we wanted to:- we don’t know how. Some species (including polar bears and pandas) would probably be in trouble even if there were no people on earth. With some other species (rhino and whales) their main problem is predation by people.
The polar bears are dying because of global warming.There are a lot of nations responsible for global warming namely U.S.A,Europe,Australia,ASIA and the list goes on. Whaling is predominately done by the Japanese.It is those Japanese whalers who are responsible for the death of the whales. No one else! I sincerly hope that Australia will not give up on trying to save the whales from the claws of the whalers. As for saving the polar bears? What is your country doing about that?
