Polar Bears

Over the weekend I was thrilled to hear that the U.S. government was going to make a ruling on the plight of the Polar bear. The plan was to add the Polar Bear to the endangered species list, an extremely important step in protecting both the bear and its habitat.

The scientific petition to have the Polar bear listed as endangered was submitted to the administration in February, 2005. One year later, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service determined that the listing of the Polar bear as endangered “may be warranted”. In December of 2007, the same agency proposed to list the species as threatened. By law, they then had one year to make a final decision. That year has now passed.
