Polar Bear Status
In 2008, the polar bear was listed
as a threatened species under the
Endangered Species Act
primarily because of the decline
of its primary habitat:
sea ice.
The Secretary of Interior listed
the polar bear as threatened
but restricted the Endangered Species Act’s protections and thus
the polar bear’s future
is still very much in jeopardy.
