Polar Bears and Climate Change

The video explores a polar bear safari on a Tundra buggy, highlighting the unique opportunity to observe polar bears up close. It discusses the critical role of sea ice for polar bear survival and the impact of global warming, which shortens sea ice seasons and affects bear health and reproduction. The video features research and conservation efforts, including a live stream to the United Nations climate change conference. It emphasizes the need for coexistence plans as polar bears increasingly venture into human areas. The video concludes with a discussion on the unknown future of polar bears due to unprecedented warming.
