Polar Bears International is the only nonprofit dedicated solely to the conservation of polar bears and the sea ice habitat they depend upon.

Melting permafrost could unload billions of tonnes of carbon by 2100 - The Weather Network
A new study says billions of tonnes of defrosted carbon could end up getting released into the atmosphere by 2100 as a result of melting permafrost, further adding to the planet's warming from more greenhouse gases.
