Russia: Save The Polar Bears!

Hello,

Russia has had full ban on Polar Bear hunting for a long time. Looks like the USA needs to follow suit......
-------------------------------------------------
MOSCOW, May 13 (RIA Novosti) - The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is urging the U.S. to follow Russia's conservation efforts to save the polar bear, the regional program director for WWF Russia said on Tuesday.

This Thursday is a deadline set by a federal judge in Alaska for George Bush's administration to decide whether polar bears should be given the status of a species endangered by global warming.

"Over 50 years ago a full ban on polar bear hunting was introduced in Russia, which has approximately 30% of the global polar bear population," Viktor Nikifirov, said.
--------------------------------------------------

If we don't we will not have Polar Bears one day. Just a thought.....

We're going to have to save some sea ice for the polar bears or no more bears. President Bush's solution to climate change, like his solution to many other things, is to change the subject. Fortunately his regime change program will be completed soon.

Hey Clark,

Bush seems to change the subject allot or ignore the subject.

There are so many theories on the sea ice in the north pole that I am not sure who to believe any more.

Thanks

What a beautiful little bear. I definitely want to save him and the rest of the Polar bear population Svet & Kyle. Unfortunately to do it though we need every country of the world to come together to prevent global warming and stop the ice caps from melting. Here's hoping!

Hi, Naomi!

Yes, he is a very cute little thing! Now they show on Russia TV a series about white and brown bears! It's such pleasure to watch it (we don't watch TV too much but such transmissions - just great!)

As for globing warming - I heard that it stopped for awhile they told at least till 2015. They made such conclusions by measuring temperature of cold streams in ocean. I wish! We'll hope!

Best wishes,
Svet and Kyle
PS Recently we've publish a video with cute polar bear's cubes who was born in Moscow Zoo 30th of November, 2007. :)
