The ProblemPolar bears are

in danger of losing their habitatTheir way of lifeMigration to warmer climatesClimate change

The ClaimWe need way to keep polar bear population

up but keep in mind the respects of each culture whom hunts these animals

Food Chain Control Keeps the food chain in the Arctic under

control.Keeps populations of seals and fish downKeeps killer whale population downThey leave carcass for other animals

The Indiginous People and the Polar BearRespected by indigenous communities in the

arcticLive in harmony with polar bear.Very few deaths

The Symbol of the Arctic For most of us when we think of the north

pole we think of the polar bearIt is also the symbol for coca cola

Health Population Healthy population at present

Money is given when trophies are imported Helps fund conservation

Natural ReasonsThere are natural reasons we do not know of

It is not always possible for us to save everything

We are also wrong about what it “causing it” A study showed sea ice is increasing Studies have shown hybridization of grizzlies is

related to population decrease

Darwinism Extinction is part of nature

This follows Darwin’s TheoryWe should let nature run it’s course like the

dinosaurs

Our PositionKeep polar bear hunting down to the natives

and watch how much fuel we are emitting.

The SolutionFind and fix the problem creating polar bear

population decrease. Look at the ecosystem they are in

Cutting down on fuel emissionsWatch for other signs from nature
