Wednesday, November 14, 2007.
Recently my hubby and I watched this amzing, touching documentary (Peace: The Handraised Polar Bear) about a polar bear, PEACE. He was born on Dec 2 1999 at Japan's Tobe Zoological Park. After his mother rejected the cub, zookeeper Atsuhiro Takaichi took on the task of "child rearing" and subsequently succeeded in handraising a polar bear for the first time ever in Japan. Peace Bear at TOBE zoo The show "Peace: The Handraised Polar Bear" chronicles five years in the life of the young cub and the caring zoo keeper from the critical time after Peace was born to the arrival of summer and the cub's first swimming lesson.
Watching Peace led me to do some research on polar bears and I realised that there are some saddening news. I took the following info from telegraph.uk. and national geographic websites

"The Independent newspaper believes polar bears will soon be found only in zoos, while the World Wildlife Fund predicts they will be unable to reproduce within five years. Former US vice president and Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore says melting ice is causing polar bears to drown. The polar bear could also be driven to extinction by global warming within 100 years, warns an ecology expert. The animal, which relies on sea ice to catch seals, is already starting to suffer the effects of climate changes in areas such as Hudson Bay in Canada.
As the sea ice disappears, so will the polar bears. Prof Andrew DerocherScientists say Arctic sea ice is melting at a rate of up to 9% per decade. Arctic summers could be ice-free by mid-century. Dr Andrew Derocher, of the University of Alberta, Edmonton, has used the data to assess the impact on the Arctic's top predator. They use the sea ice as a floating platform to catch prey and they travel across it on their way to their dens. So hopes of long-term polar bear survival hinges on humans taking action now. Countries and consumers must also reduce greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming. "
