BREAKING: New Hope for Polar Bears
Rodger Schlickeisen, Defenders of Wildlife
Adopt a Polar Bear and help save these beloved animals.
Why are polar bears so at risk? Part of it has to do with a 2008 decision by the Department of the Interior to give them a classification of “threatened” and not the full protection provided by a listing of “endangered.” The difference is significant, and leaves polar bears vulnerable in ways that would not exist if they were given complete protection under the law.
But there's hope. Last week, a federal judge ordered the Department of the Interior to reconsider its decision, which means polar bears now have a chance to get the protection they deserve and so desperately need. This is a promising step forward in a heartbreaking story, and Defenders of Wildlife plans to be at the forefront of the fight for polar bear survival.
You can help. By making a symbolic Polar Bear Adoption through our Wildlife Adoption & Gift Center for yourself or a loved one, you can help us fight for the lives of these majestic creatures. The threats are very real, but with your support, we can succeed. We've done it before. Over the past year, your tireless efforts to protect polar bears have helped...
- Encourage a moratorium on deepwater offshore drilling in the Chuckchi Sea, a victory that was huge step forward in protecting this critical habitat;
- Urge federal officials to safeguard Alaska’s Western Arctic Reserve’s special places from harmful oil and gas exploration;
- Champion legislation to address climate change and help polar bears survive in the wild.
When you adopt a Polar Bear through our Wildlife Adoption & Gift Center, you are not only helping to save these incredible animals for future generations, but giving a meaningful gift that raises awareness of these amazing animals, their uncertain future and what can be done to safeguard them for generations to come.
Help give polar bears the protection they deserve by giving a gift that helps defend them. Adopt a Polar Bear for yourself or a compassionate person in your life today.
