Conservation work on one species can benefit others in the same environment. “In most cases, if you do the work necessary to protect the animals at the top of a food web — like the polar bear — then everything below them is going to be protected.” —Dr. John Whiteman pbears.org/meetjohn

Three years ago, Dr. John Whiteman was appointed Polar Bears International’s chief research scientist. We recently talked with John about his role at PBI, what drew him to working with polar bears, and why he is so committed to polar bear conservation: pbears.org/meetjohn

In honor of Polar Bear Week, @jrnymag.bsky.social shared some of the most interesting facts about polar bears! See how many of them you know in the below article.

When researchers first looked at pregnancy rates among the polar bears of Hudson Bay in the early 90s, the results were promising. However, a recent study has uncovered a striking decline. We talked to the study authors about what they’re seeing and why. pbears.org/3JAf1Zo

As the Arctic warms and the sea ice melts, more polar bears are spending more time ashore in more places, and for longer periods. Our coexistence efforts help aim to help keep polar bears and people live safely alongside each other. Learn more below. https://youtu.be/S4qjNYHB2m4

After several years of testing and training the AI, our Bear-dar radar had its first real-world deployment in the Canadian high Arctic this summer! Geoff York spoke with The Weather Channel about this project and how it can help protect communities in the north. https://pbears.org/4oWm7pT
