The polar bear is arguably the species which is most threatened by climate change. Global warming makes it difficult for the bears to hunt and find food and many starve. This is because the sea ice is forming later each year and melting earlier due to rising temperatures which means they have less time to hunt each year. Your adoption will be used to fund WWF conservation efforts and help them to put pressure on governments to limit carbon emissions.

For just a small monthly donation your polar bear adoption will help keep the Arctic free from toxic chemicals and pollution in the marine environment. Pollution causes toxic levels to increase which moves up the food chain and causes health problems in polar bears.

By protecting polar bears you are helping ensure the Arctic ecosystem and food chain remains healthy which benefits all the animals that live there, including humans.

Hydrocarbon exploration could result in devastating oil spills which are a major threat, not just to polar bears but all species that call the Arctic home. We want to ensure that polar bears have a clean environment to live in that is free from pollution and the best way to do that is help WWF fight against drilling in the Arctic.
