POLAR BEAR on ice floe Ursus maritimus Svalbard, Norwegian Arctic Endangered species
Polar bear populations are likely to fall by more than 30% by around the middle of the century as global warming thaws Arctic sea ice, experts said in the most detailed review of the predators to date.
The report, by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, estimated there are between 22,000 and 31,000 polar bears in the Arctic and said they will be increasingly vulnerable as their habitat shrinks.
"Climate change will continue to seriously threaten polar bear survival in the future," Inger Andersen, IUCN Director General, said of the study, based on updated counts and new projections of sea ice since a previous review in 2008.
It said there was a high probability that "the global polar bear population will decline by more than 30% over the next 35 to 40 years", broadly reaffirming findings from 2008. (FOTO: DUKAS/PHOTOSHOT)

Polar bears for International Polar Bear Day, Spitsbergen, Norway - 2010s
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/q14n
International Polar Bear Day is celebrated every 27 February to raise awareness about the conservation status of the polar bear.
In honour of this occasion, wildlife guide, photographer and presenter Paul Goldstein has bought together his favourite images of the majestic predator.
Wimbledon-based Paul, who guides for Exodus, explains: "Polar bears are in danger of becoming an anachronism, a fading apex predator that suffers more and more as the sea ice melts earlier each year."
Highlights of over a decade of sightings include a mother and cubs sitting on an iceberg, an adult attempting to catch tasty birds on a cliff face and a little cub appearing to wave.

Mother polar bear (Ursus maritimus) with two coy (cubs-of-year) on multi-year ice floes in the Barents Sea off the eastern side of Heleysundet in the Svalbard Archipelago, Norway. An adult male weighs around 400?680 kg (880?1,500 lb) while an adult female is about half that size. The IUCN now lists global warming as the most significant threat to the polar bear, primarily because the melting of its sea ice habitat reduces its ability to find sufficient food. The IUCN states, If climatic trends continue polar bears may become extirpated from most of their range within 100 years. On May 14, 2008, the United States Department of the Interior listed the polar bear as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act.

kayaking with a leopard seal near Danco Island, Antarctica. The Leopard seal (Hydrurga leptonyx) is the second largest species of seal in the Antarctic (after the Southern Elephant Seal), and is near the top of the Antarctic food chain. It can live twenty-six years, possibly more. Orcas are the only natural predators of leopard seals. Females are generally larger than the males. The bulls are generally 2.5 m (8.2 ft) to 3.2 m (10.5 ft) and weigh between 200 kg (441 lb) and 453.5 kg (1,000 lb), while cows are between 2.4 meters (7.9 feet) and 3.4 meters (11.2 feet) in length and weigh between 225 kg (496 lb) and 591 kg (1,303 lb). In 2003, a leopard seal dragged a snorkeling biologist underwater to her death in what was identified as the first known human fatality from a leopard seal. However, numerous examples of aggressive behavior, stalking, and attacks on humans had been previously documented. The leopard seal has also been known to snap at people's feet through holes in the ice.
