Polar bears wiped out?



As widely reported in the press recently, government scientists estimate that two-thirds of polar bears will disappear by 2050, even under moderate shrinking ice scenarios. Polar bears are estimated at approx. 25,000. By then the only place where one could see them might be in Northern Greenland (above photo from our expedition) or in Northern Canada.
