Protection For Polar Bears

The ScienceDaily news reported that The National Wildlife Federation urges people to take action to protect polar bears from the impacts of global warming by listing polar bears under the Endangered Species Act (E.S.A.). Unfortunately, organizations such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (F.W.S.) were required by ESA people to issue a final listing decision a year ago. The F.W.S. missed the deadline despite the unprecedented melting of the Artic ice which is a known danger to polar bears. It seems that this kind of action of delaying in listing polar bears as a threatened species is just for the benefit of the Bush Administration since they are seeking to avoid inspection of oil and gas leases in polar bear habitats. It seems that the future of these polar bears currently depends on the Bush Administration. The big question is this…what is more important…the profits that can be made in the oil industry or preserving the very existence of these magnificent animals?
