The Arctic is warming TWICE as fast as the rest of the planet. Sea ice is disappearing at a rate of 13% per decade. Without ice, polar bears can't reach seals (their primary food source). They're forced to swim longer distances, burning calories they can't replace. Mother bears can't feed their cubs. Populations are declining.
Only 26,000 polar bears remain in the wild (down from historical populations)
By 2050, two-thirds of polar bears could disappear if current trends continue
Cubs are dying at unprecedented rates due to lack of food and habitat loss
Some populations have already declined by 40% in certain regions
