About Polar Bears International

Polar bears. They're what we're all about. Entirely. We know that if we can assure the survival of the polar bear—the creature in most immediate peril from climate change and pollutants—we'll have created a better planet for all its flora, fauna, water, and air. Time is of the essence. And we have some distance to go. But we're optimistic. We're impassioned. And we're resolute. Take a minute to learn about us and the work we do. Then, help us if you can. Discover how you can make a difference.
