Scientists believe that climate change could cause polar bears to go extinct by the end of the century. With higher temperatures and less sea ice, polar bears will not be able to get enough food and provide for their children. This tragic possibility seems like something that every person in power should be working to avoid. Sadly, that is not the case.
Trump’s presidency was full of rollbacks that severely weakened environmental and wildlife protections. This includes weakening the nation’s most essential environmental law, NEPA, as well as opening up 20 million acres of national preserve lands in Alaska for trophy hunting. While there has been some progress under the new administration, polar bears still need more protection.
Despite all of the threats and polar bears’ vulnerable status, trophy hunters are still paying large sums of money to kill these amazing animals for “fun.” Experts have warned that hunting polar bears must be banned if this species is going to have any chance at survival.
Sign this petition to demand the U.S., Canada, and Russia do everything in their power to ban the trophy hunting of polar bears!

Oil drillings and trophy huntings should be banned right now, so we can protect these beautiful white beasts. We are dedicated to build a comprehensive range of Polar bear breeding centers all around the world, to allow the Polar bears to produce more and more cubs, to get their population increasing again, away from the brink of extinction. The Polar bear breeding centers would need very large enclosures so the Polar bears can stretch and walk around, but the enclosures would need some a few trees, grassland for them to slide down, a big lake for them to swim and some cave shelters for them to rest in the shade.
No! Please don’t put on a trophy hunting on Polar bears, it is very cruel and to do that, and Polar bears are classified as an endangered species due to the climate change and oil drilling. To that, Polar bears are facing extinction by 2100 and humans should stop doing anymore trophy huntings and oil drillings, it causes more threat to these beautiful white beasts and which result in their population to decline.
