Support Proposal to List Polar Bears As "Threatened"
Target: U.S. Fish and WildlifeSponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund
Send in your public comment to support listing polar bears as a "Threatened" species!
Polar bears really need our help: according to government studies in recent months, more and more are starving to death, and more and more of their babies are dying before reaching adulthood. In fact, of polar bears studied between 1990 and last spring, only 25 cubs per 100 females survived. That's less than half the survival rate of polar bear cubs studied from 1967 to 1989!
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is requesting public comments regarding the listing of polar bears as a "Threatened" species. In just 5 minutes, you can send in your public comment - just sign this petition.

We need to protect the Polar Bears from certain extinction. Too many have been lost already. We can protect this species, we must.

That these bears' survival rate has somehow been cut in half takes my breath away. The whole idea of losing them, of them starving, suffering, leaves me hollow and sick.

We must stop encroaching on the wild life habitat and sending them to extinction. We must have better guardianship and respect their space.
