Polar Bears Finding Ways to Survive Amid Facing Extinction
Polar Bears Finding Ways to Survive Amid Facing Extinction
Many polar bears are facing extinction and in efforts to survive they have been reduced to eating bird eggs from nests that they find during their daily foraging to combat starvation. Most notably this activity is occurring in Hudson Bay, Canada – which hosts a thriving population of geese. The polar bears are frequently seen by scientists digging into the lush eggs that populate the many goose nests in this area. And some experts say that it is a creative approach to their own survival. But how much longer can the polar bears survive on just bird eggs?
As More Melting Occurs, Scientists Say to Expect the Worst
The saddest part about this story is that the problem is ongoing. Most experts and scientist agree that the longer the problem continues the more melting that will occur. The more that the ice melts, the less the habitat that the polar bears will have to hunt their primary fare: seals. As they become more and more desperate, many polar bears will have to forage further inland, and in turn, many will fight each other. The only true way at this point to really save the polar bear species is for us to join together, the world united and work proactively and diligently to stave off the harmful effects of the earth warming. Global warming is a very real problem, and if we don’t act soon, some marvelous species could be wiped off the face of our beautiful earth forever.
Global Warming is the Culprit
It is sad to say, and hard to accept that our modern day technology, and the over industrialization at a rapid pace of many previously under developed countries, like China and India, have greatly increased the threat of global warming. At the same time other nations, like the European Union, have signed emission reduction pacts, but will it be in time for us to save these precious and ice laden reserves, and all of the species they harbor? Can humanity fight global warming and win the battle with enough time left to say at least we saved some species, like the polar bears? Or will the elements win in the end and force us to accept the extinction of whole species of animals and entire ecosystems?
What is the Fate of Polar Bears?
The fate of the polar bears sadly rests in our hands, not their white, furry paws. Our decisions to act now and try and do something to solve the problem is the only true way that we can prevent this entire species from becoming scarce and nearly extinct. The key lies in a uniform and global approach that addresses the inherent issues that lay before us with regards to rapid warming trend of the earth. Countries can band together and reduce emissions to levels that are acceptable, and that will not cause further devastation of our planet. But humanity needs to act together, as one. And don the armor of environmental candor and do battle with our surest enemy: global warming.
