Nature’s close up: The king of the Arctic
Feb 26th, 2010 by wwftravel
Of all wildlife species in the Arctic, the polar bear is perhaps its most fitting icon. Its amazing adaptations to life in harsh Arctic ecosystems and its dependence on sea ice make the polar bear an impressive, yet vulnerable species. It’s an amazing animal to see in person.
See the world’s greatest concentration of polar bears, just outside Churchill, Manitoba, in Canada on WWF’s tour.
HI THERE
C’ant there be an educational campaign against these poachers,so that they can help stopping this illegal activities, as a wildlife defender i thought an international campaign must be done if we want to save these species from extinction.
Believe me, I am an Alaskan resident and a health care professional and the majority of my colleagues are appalled at the ariel killing of wolves as well as all the poaching that occurs up here because it is the “last frontier”!? Many people are disrespectful of nature’s order and what needs to occur for all of us to co-exist. We are highly embarrassed about Sarah Palin representing Alaska. The population she represents are persons incredibly limited with regard to education, finances, and basic common sense. She is very frightening to us. I hope the folks in the lower 48 don’t regard us all up here as ignorant and barbaric as she represents us to be. Thanks for listening.
