Our Campaign Polar Bear Conservation

The polar bear tracker program provides scientists with vital information that will help us understand and address the impact of climate change, develop initiatives to safeguard Arctic habitat and protect the polar bears.

Understanding and Addressing The Impact of Climate Change
Temperatures in most parts of the Arctic are rising and this is affecting the people and species that live in the north. WWF is working globally to understand and reverse the effects of climate change. We're collecting scientific data on changes in the sea ice and its impact on wildlife. This information helps us educate and direct people, governments, and industry to do more to reduce the harmful effects of climate change on the planet.

Safeguarding Habitat
WWF is working with local people, governments and industry to set aside a network of protected Arctic marine and land habitats. These habitats provide a vital role in preserving the natural balance of the Arctic habitat and include caribou calving sites, polar bear den areas and marine/animal feeding sites.

Saving Polar Bears
WWF is committed to securing a future for the world's polar bears, and globally we are working with various partners in order to make sure we have the best scientific research and data when trying to influence governments to take a stance on climate change and protect this beautiful animal.

WWF-Canada is tracking female polar bears to determine the impact of climate change on their behaviour and survival. This will help us better understand and prepare for the impacts of climate change as well as engage the public and create much-needed awareness.
