In recent years, the polar bear has been upgraded as a vulnerable and at-risk species due primary to global warming, contaminants by oil and gas exploration, as well as hunting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Danger of Global Warming for Arctic Life and Polar Bears<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is said that 2\/3rds or the entire species which is estimated at 22-25,000 currently, will be extinct by 2050 due to loss of habitat and proper hunting environments.  Thick platforms of artic ice are needed for the <a href=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.com\/new\/adminonline\/polar%20bears\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">polar bears<\/a> to hunt seals before going ashore during summer months.<\/p>\n<p>Climate change and <a href=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.com\/new\/Global%20Warming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">global warming<\/a> are causing temperatures to rise at a rate that is twice as much as the rest of the world.  By the end of the century, it is estimated that at least half of the Arctic&#8217;s ice will melt, threatening the entire arctic ecosystem.  Currently, the Arctic&#8217;s ice is shrinking by up to 5% every 10 years.<\/p><div class=\"3a64bb57635b757d04b12bcf0c14b9a3\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9477973674766713\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8885944693\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>This gradually diminishes the chance for the bears to store up nourishment each year, as the ice forms later and diminishes earlier.  Eventually, it is projected that a shorter hunting season won&#8217;t allow the bears to store enough food and nourishment before going ashore and cause the species to decline due to the inability to reproduce.<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What Can You Do?
