I read an article called “Polar Bears in Danger” by Elizabeth Winchester. This article is giving awareness about polar bears that are in danger. The artic sea is melting away making it much harder on the polar bears to survive in the wild. The zoos are really trying hard to save them. In the artic there are few ice patches in the sea and not much land left but the polar bears need that artic water in order to survive. By 2050 20,000 polar bear will be gone by then. “If you save the polar bears, you are doing something dramatic to help the environment” says Jeffrey Bonner he’s the president of the St. Louis Zoo. There is a group of people that are dedicated to saving the bears and where they live. “The more people who see bears and understand their plight, (a dangerous situation) the better the chance we will [change our ways} in time to save them,” someone told TFK. Someone else that is very dedicated to helping the bears is Steven Amstrup he’s a scientist that helps the bears. Zoo’s provide the cubs with safe homes to live in & experts work to breed the bears and try to keep their population going & healthy.
I think it’s a wonderful job that people are working hard & trying to save the polar bears because their species are really almost gone…. The zoos are trying to make homes for them & fast enough to save them but it’s going to take a little while.
