World Wildlife Fund
• Protecting seabird populations in danger of getting caught in fishing drift nets and long lines.
WWF is aslo working with scientists by:
• Support research that will tell us about the bears' condition, distribution, and population status and trends.
• Compile information on how sea ice loss will affect polar bears, and share information with policy makers .
• Advocate for protection of Arctic sea ice and coastal habitat in areas such as Norway's Svalbard Archipelago, the Chukchi Sea (shared between the US and Russia) and areas along the Canadian coast.
