AS THREATENED
From Panda Mail, Jan 31, 2007
WWF-Canada praises the recent proposal by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to list the polar bear as “Threatened” under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. WWF-Canada had supported the petition to classify the species as Threatened, based on a large volume of very compelling information about significant changes to the polar bear's habitat - the Arctic sea ice. This ocean habitat is vanishing as a result of warming air and sea temperatures over the last decades, caused by the burning of fossil fuels.
