(ANSA) - ROME, FEBRUARY 26 - "If the melting of polar ice, caused by global warming, continues as in the last decades, by 2050 we could lose up to 30% of the bear population". Thus the WWF Italia launches the alarm on the polar bear, of which the World Polar Bear Day is celebrated on February 27, and which is celebrated with the spread of a decalogue on some curiosities of this species such as the fact that in reality their skin is black and not white.

The King of the Arctic, the WWF explains, is "already classified among the vulnerable species in the red lists of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The climatic changes caused by human activities are making its habitat and the survival of this more and more fragile The polar bears - the environmental association continues - need sea ice to be able to move and go in search of food ". According to the Polar bearinternational organization "the bear population in Hudson Bay, Canada, has already experienced a 30% reduction between 1987 and 2017". For this reason, to "ensure a future for the polar bear, it is necessary first of all to fight against climate change".

The WWF has been working for years "to combat the threats facing polar bears and to guarantee them a future. The 'Last ice area' project", in one of the best preserved areas of the Arctic between Canada and Greenland, has "the objective manage and protect the area for the well-being and survival of polar bears and other arctic species. Everyone can decide to support the projects; to do so, just adopt a polar bear (wwf.it/adottaunorso) ". (HANDLE).
