Polar Bears an Endangered Species
Rodrigo Almeida
Habitat and Main Food Source
The polar bear lives in arctic regions on off shore pack ice.
They live in these areas so that they can remain near their main food source.
Predators and Dangers
Polar bears have no animal predators in their region;
They are occasionally hunted by humans.
Effect on Their Environment
Polar bears control the seal population along with the population of certain fish and other land and sea mammals;
Without the polar bears the populations of these certain species would gradually increase and the order of the ecosystem would be disrupted.
How many polar bears are?
There are approximately 22.000~31.000 polar bears left in the world.
What Happened
Polar bears became endangered mainly because of the melting ice which they call home.
The second biggest reason is because they are having to experience the effects of our pollution of the air and water.
Protection Plan
Many different groups have formed and petitioned for new laws to help protect these animals;
Canada has nearly stopped all hunting of polar bears;
Unfortunately, north america still allows these bears to be hunted.
