subject: Canada Polar Bear Species At Risk [print this page] Recently, Canada's government declares that polar bear on its list of species at risk, but not as a endangered species. The federal government gave notice this month that it intends to list the arctic animal as a species of special concern under the species ate risk act. There is a plan required, which is devised within three years to prevent the species from becoming threatened. canadas polar bear species at risk act came into force in 2003 to provide the legal protection for their wildlife in danger of becoming extinct.
COSEWIC, an organization which has been assessing the polar bears status has found that four of Canadas 13 polar bear populations are at risk over the next few decades. There are numbered of reasons available like shrinking sea ice, over hunting, global warming and much more. There are approximately 15,000 polar bears in Canada according to for 60% of the worlds polar bear population is available in Canada. Last year, the government argued against the listing of the Canada polar bear a species of special concern. They said that there is no clear evidence to support that designation.
Recently, Nunavut environment minister said that We live in a polar bear country so it is very important for us to understand the polar bears, and we do actually think our polar bear population." Just putting the bear on the species at risk list is not a solution of the problem. polar bear watching in Canada is now become a little bit difficult. We simply need to understand that if the climate change continuously then it will impact on every single species. In one analysis, it is proven that people in some northern communities strongly oppose the inclusion of polar bears under the species at Risk Act.
Many peoples thought that climate change was affecting polar bear population even they also believe that wildlife population also fluctuates and moves around. After analyzing all the necessary factors, the government makes a plan that focuses on Arctic wild life. The government also noticed that Canadas western Arctic has expressed support for the polar bears as a species of special concern. We know that challenge that lie ahead for the animal welfare group is not small because human populations are kept growing so it is our responsibility to organize the same passion to create a better world for the wild life. So, dont wait for a take necessary steps to save polar bears.
