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.

It is time to protect the polar bears. They are innocent victims of our selfish actions.

Polar bears are threatened hugely by climate change in particular, having trouble swimming the widening distance between solid ice to hunt. We must list them as endangered but also realise the impact our wider actions are having on the world. Not only our consumption of energy and fossil fuels but also the growing numbers of us doing so. Cutting the human birthrate is the best way to combat climate change, pollution and human waste.

Polar bears need to be listed as threatened so that they are protected! They're such beautiful animals, it would be awful for them to become extinct.
