Scientists are warning that the polar bears may join the Dodo and disappear from the wild in less than 70 years! That’s within our lifetime.
It is a very sad and sobering thought.
It’s all happening due to the Polar bear losing its habitat- the ice in the arctic is melting as the Earth continues to get warmer.

Hi Mrs Mannan I saw your polar bear page it’s very good. It was very upsetting to know that the polar bears are being extinct as they are one of my favourite animals…!
Hi Freya,
Thanks for your comment. The polar bears are not quite extinct yet but if they lose their habitat, the place where they live, then there is a chance that by 70 years there will be none left in the wild. There may be some still in Conservation Parks but that will only be a very small number.
