1. Animals are at our mercy

These Polar Bears didn't cause this problem - they are just trying to survive a rapidly deteriorating world. Poor cuddle bugs.

3. Polar bears are starving



Pictures and articles of mothers forced to eat their own cubs just make me cry. Males are preying on mothers and cubs. With ice rapidly shrinking, they can't get out there to hunt their normal diet of seals anymore. They're reduced to trying to live on seabirds and their eggs.......and cannibalism. There is also a lot of in-breeding because they can't range far afield, so the genetic pool is also shrinking.

4. These magnificent creatures are vanishing. It's a crime that the human race has destroyed

their world. I ventured to Churchill way back in 1987 and took a 'tundra buggy' out to photograph them. They were so beautiful.
