But in recent years, there’s been more and more famine, and less and less feast.
International Polar Bear Day is this Sunday, and I hope you'll honor the occasion by ensuring these magnificent wonders of creation will be here for generations to come.
Start a monthly gift of $5 or more before midnight on Sunday to symbolically adopt a polar bear. Pledge $10 or more each month, and you can choose a polar bear-themed gift as part of your adoption kit!
Any amount you choose to give will make a big difference, thanks to a 12-month match from the Robert W. Wilson Charitable Trust that doubles your impact for a full year.
Polar bears hunt exclusively from sea ice that melts away in the summer. Each year, a polar bear must consume enough food during the feast to pack on a fat pad that will sustain them through the famine. Mother bears must pack on even more fat to sustain nursing cubs through the lean months.
For years, the polar bear’s hunting season has grown shorter and shorter, while the lean season lasts longer. Now they have to find more food in less time.
As humans, it's our climate pollution that has put their survival at risk. We're running out of time to make up for the damage we've done, but it's not too late yet.
John, your advocacy and support has already made you one of the polar bear’s greatest champions.
Will you do your part to secure a better future for them by symbolically adopting one today?
