POLAR BEAR
Where do polar bears live?
Polar bears can only
survive in areas where the oceans freeze, allowing them to hunt seals living
under, on, or in the frozen polar ice cap.
Polar bears live in Alaska, Canada, Russia, Greenland and some northern
islands owned by Norway.
Temperatures in the Arctic
Polar bears
have to endure in the winter can range from -40°C to -90°C. Polar bears have to be able to handle 100°
difference in temperature between the seasons.
THE IMPORTANCE OF POLAR BEARS
Polar bears are at
the top of the food chain and have an important role in the overall health of
the marine environment.
THREATS
1.GLOBAL WARMING
Rising temperatures
in the world’s oceans are causing sea ice to disappear for longer and
longer periods during the late summer, leaving polar bears
insufficient time to hunt. This is a worldwide problem.
If we don’t change our behaviour, polar bears won`t have many
more years to survive because of global warming.
2.INDUSTRIAL IMPACTS
Harmful chemicals that man is releasing into the environment. Man made pollution is a cause of death for
polar bears.
WHAT CAN WE DO?
Reduce greenhouse gas emission !
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
Encourage Others to Conserve!
