Polar Bears

On Monday the 20th of June 2020 scientists have warned that polar bears could face extinction by the end of the century. The summer Arctic ice extent has declined by around 13% per decade when compared to its 1981-2010 average, leaving the bears with a longer summer-fasting period and a shorter winter-feeding period, resulting in mass starvation.
