Starving polar bears
2013-02-16 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Living on Earth: Polar Bears have long been the poster species for the problem of climate change. But a new paper in Conservation Letters argues that supplemental feeding may be necessary to prevent polar bear populations from going extinct. Polar bear expert Andrew Derocher from the University of Alberta joins Host Steve Curwood to discuss how we can save the largest bear on the planet.

Reuters: A thaw of sea ice floating on the Arctic Ocean last year sent extra plant food to exotic creatures on the deep sea floor in a shift that might leave polar bears hungry at the surface, scientists said on Thursday. The study, using robot submarines down to 4,400 metres (14,400 ft) deep, could be a glimpse of radical changes for life in the sunless depths of the Arctic Ocean after ice thinned and shrank to cover a record low area in September 2012. Scientists found large amounts of algae growing...

Toronto Star: Please feed the bears. That may be the new advice to heed after a dozen polar bear experts wrote a policy paper about the imminent problems facing the species due to rapid ecosystem changes in the Arctic. In every nature park, there are signs up saying dont feed the wildlife, said University of Albertas biologist Andrew Derocher, an expert on management of large Arctic mammals. Were not there yet, but we have to start looking at policy decisions and begin discussing options. Were...
