Polar Bears At Risk, Climate Deal Needed: Norway

Reuters March 18, 2009

OSLO - An international plan is needed to rescue polar bears and their icy Arctic habitat but its success will hinge on a U.N. deal to fight global warming due to be agreed in December, Norway said on Tuesday.

"Climate change has overtaken hunting as the most significant threat to the polar bear," Norway's Environment and Development Minister Erik Solheim told a meeting of the five states rimming the Arctic where the white bears live.

"We must work to protect the ecosystem the bear is part of," Solheim said. "Global warming must be stopped if we are to succeed."

Support a National Wolf Recovery Plan

A national wolf recovery plan would help ensure a lasting future for wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies and provide a needed boost for wolf recovery and management efforts in the Southwest, Northeast and Pacific Northwest.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's existing recovery plans for America's wolves are badly out of date (the most recent plan is over 15-years old), do not reflect the most recent scientific data on wolves, and set recovery goals that are grossly inadequate. We can do better for America's wolves, but we'll need your help.

Please support a forward-looking effort to protect the gray wolf’s important part in America. Fill out the form below to send your personalized comments to Dale Hall, head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
