Polar Bears

The Artic ice cap at the top of our world has shrunk by 20% since 1979, more than 1,000,000 square miles. The shrinking ice pack could have irreversible effects on the mighty beast of the north, the Polar Bear.

The population of the bear is estimated currently to be only 20,000. Scientist estimate at the current rate of receding ice, the bear population could be adversely effected by 30% (6,000).

It's time to take a look at our carbon footprint on the world and it's flora and fauna.
