Polar Bears and The Ice

Polar bear experts are expecting a 30 percent decline in the polar bear population within the next 35 to 50 years.  More and more of the polar bears population is decreasing due to melting ice and drastic climate change.  Many polar bears are being found dead due to drowning and even cannibalism.  Polar bears main diet throughout the year is from eating dead whales that drift onto shore, but mainly consist of seals the polar bears need the ice to hunt these seals without it they are forced to move closer to human population to eat scraps of garbage to survive which also creates a bigger risk for the human population.

If the ice does not stop melting some scientists have suggested that the polar bear population could go extinct in the near future.  Many governments are being called upon to recognize the problem of declining polar bear populations and are being asked for their help.
