Polar bears face a new threat besides melting ice — male grizzly bears are moving into their territories, competing for food and are even mating with their females.

Signs of the times, unfortunately inevitable, with the current climate. I remember the news of the hunter facing prosecution a couple/few years back when he shot what he thought was a grizzly and it was determined to be a hybrid...ie grolar. There will be more.....sad indeed.

saw this and the bit towards the end shocked me! i know its probably not real, but this is a musician who could possibly(and i hope to god not) set trends. i am posting it here hoping polar bears international can raise awareness on it, maybe raise a voice, and possibly even get her to take down the video, or support p...oar bears international. it cant go unnoticed- the last thing we need is some popstar glamorizing fur and wildlife products!!! good luck!

Hi Cat, It IS possible for grizzlies and polar bears to mate and this is expected to happen more as the Arctic climate changes. We've posted a follow-up article on this subject above.

Polar Bears International Feedback Friday: One of our partner organizations, Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots, has launched a campaign called 10:10, http://www.1010uk.org.
The goal is for each of us to reduce our carbon footprint by 10%. What are you doing--as an individual or in your business, school, or community--to reach that goal?

We use insulated ss cups for coffee & water and use reusable shopping bags. I plan errands close together, keep the tires inflated on the car, get tune ups on schedule for better gas milage. We added more insulation to the house. I grow vegetables and fruits, amend the soil with coffee grounds & otherkitchen scraps; sometimes snag neighbors' bagged leaves for my garden & compost bin. As they burn out, we replace light bulbs with CFL.

Wow! Spectacular footage! Hudson should have been frozen, by now. We were in Churchill, Nov. 1-8, and it was noticably warmer, milder, this year...and fewer bears.

Polar Bears International Sculptor
Mark Coreth spent time with us in Churchill and shares these thoughts about his melting ice bear sculpture: "I want people to touch the ice
and so touch the Arctic, to become aware and a part of the project
and so hopefully the solution." Be sure to read his blog entry about
his experience on the tundra with PBI.
