The polar bear population is decreasing and the species is endangered. Global warming is causing Arctic sea ice to melt rapidly, taking away the polar bear's sea ice habitat where they hunt for fish. Over 25% of Arctic sea ice has disappeared in the last 30 years due to global warming caused by human activities like burning fossil fuels. As the sea ice melts, polar bears and other Arctic species are threatened with extinction if protection measures are not implemented quickly.
