With polar bears gravely threatened by climate change, we must take all possible measures to limit other deadly pressures on them. The scientific evidence is overwhelming that rising temperatures will cause two-thirds of the world's polar bear populations, including all of Alaska's polar bears, to go extinct by 2050. They are already drowning and starving as a result of melting sea ice. Their populations cannot afford to be hunted simply to meet the international demand for polar bear rugs.

They are nature’s top land predator and have nothing to fear. Except for the melting ice beneath their massive paws – and a hunter’s bullet. Graphic images in the media of the great white bear precariously perched on the last chunk of a melting iceberg, of drowned bears, of cannibalized carcasses of bear cubs (eaten by hungry males) – all of these punch home the message that the Arctic is already feeling the heat of climate change.
