Where they are found
Polar Bears are found in the Arctic landscapes of Canada, Greenland, Norway, Russia and Alaska.
Survival threats
Climate change is causing the Arctic ice to melt and what remains is thinner and more treacherous. Polar Bears need the ice to hunt so they are having to travel further and further to reach their main prey of ringed, bearded and harp seals.
Conservation status
Polar Bears are included on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species with 'vulnerable' status, meaning these animals are at a high risk of eventual extinction.
Conservation action
WWF's projects in the Arctic are helping us to understand the impacts of climate change on Polar Bears.
