Land of the midnight sun
The Arctic is home to a vast array of wildlife that’s increasingly threatened by climate change.
Arctic sea ice is reaching its lowest level in decades, perhaps even of all time! The Arctic's best-known species like polar bears, walruses and narwhal face a greater risk of regional extinction. A rapid decrease in sea ice has meant starvation for some polar bears and their young cubs. Some even drown from having to swim too far in open waters.
Climate change in the Arctic affects everyone
Tragically, since 1979, the Arctic sea-ice has seen a staggering decline of more than two million square km. No matter where on our planet you live, the status of the Arctic has a direct link to the future of your city, your neighborhood and your family. That's why, together with our partners in Arctic nations, WWF has developed
The Arctic Initiative. To accomplish our goals, we are focusing on three critical issues:
- Climate Change
- Species At Risk
- Resource Management
When you
Put Some Ice in the Arctic Landscape, you will be helping WWF to:
- Push for a new global deal to combat climate change by reducing worldwide production of CO2 and other greenhouse gases.
- Protect Arctic species at risk, like the magnificent polar bear.
- Promote implementation of ‘Conservation First’ principles ahead of industrial development.
With your gift, you will be helping to secure a sustainable future for the Arctic and our world.
