It’s a headline we all have seen: Global Warming is melting the Arctic.
Once the Arctic sea ice is gone, it will take along with it the majestic polar bear — magnificent creatures of strength, courage and might, who need the sea ice for survival. The ice is home, it is where their primary food source lives, the ringed seal. Polar bears feed, mate, travel, den and give birth on the ice. Scientists say the polar bears will be extinct within 100 years if something isn't done, and soon.
"across the land
of the midnight sun
the ice is melting…
oh, what can be done?"
(well, lots can be done... and the "Learning Page to Help the Bears" will show kids and their parents exactly what we can all do to help)
