Are the Polar Bears Doomed?

Polar bears are in trouble. The Arctic will be entirely ice-free by the summer, dooming polar bears to extinction. Our government is dragging their feet on the decision to protect the polar bear under the Endangered Species Act.

The Center for Biological Diversity and its allies are preparing to go to court to force the administration to finalize the Endangered Species Act listing. But we need your help as well. Polar bears need a massive groundswell of public support to show that people are watching and will not tolerate delays, denial, or political game-playing.

Please sign the petition:

The petition will be sent to President Bush when it has 50,000 signatures. We are almost halfway there. Take action and then spread the word about the fate of the Polar Bears to yoru friends.

I find it so sad to see images of Polar Bears struggling to survive. Bears are intelligent creatures, hopefully they will find a way to survive.

@april-They cannot swim forever and the ice is melting and breaking up. It is heart rendering.
