A PLIGHT FOR OUR POLARS!

A Dramatic Tale

In the upcoming fantasy film The Golden Compass, fierce white bears of the far north are mighty warriors who speak and wear armor. Unfortunately, the polar bears of our world are losing their fight for survival. Big Oil continues their push to invade the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge -- our polar bears’ most important onshore denning habitat -- even as global warming, pollution and trophy hunting continue to push these beloved bears ever closer to extinction.Polar bears in our world may not have armor to protect them, but -- with your help --Defenders of Wildlife is fighting for their survival. Tens of thousands of Defenders supporters have spoken out in favor of stronger federal protections for these beloved bears -- and a decision on whether to list polar bears as “threatened” is due December 28th. Even more caring people have stood with us in our campaigns to address global warming, end trophy hunting of polar bears and prevent harmful drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife

This Holiday Season, help save polar bears from global warming and destructive drilling-

Polar Bears are one of the largest carnivores on earth, but their problems are even bigger. Some scientists predict that polar bears could disappear from Alaska and most of their habitat in the next 50 years and become extinct in the wild within 100 years.
Global warming is robbing these Arctic icons of vital marine habitat - the older, stable sea ice they need to survive. Already, polar bears are drowning and even resorting to cannibalism as their home and feeding grounds melt away.
To make matters worse, Big Oil continues to relentlessly lobby Congress to open the Arctic Refuge the most important onshore denning habitat for polar bears -- to destructive oil exploration and drilling.
Help protect these magnificent giants --Adopt a Polar Bear Family today.
Scientists have warned that destruction of habitat is severely impacting the polar bear population. Climate change is causing stable sea ice to disappear, leaving little for denning and hunting. This is resulting in thinner, less healthy adult bears and higher mortality in cubs. Drilling and oil development could cause mother polar bears, disturbed by the noise that comes along with oil drilling, to abandon their dens, leaving their helpless cubs to fend for themselves. A cub’s chance of survival without its mother is almost none.
We need your support to stop Congress from handing the home of polar bears and other wildlife over to Big Oil and pass responsible legislation to address the global warming to reverse the destruction of critical polar bear habitat.
Adopt a Polar Bear Family, Cub, Group or adorable Mother and Cub and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing you are doing your part to help protect polar bears for future generations.
