Polar Bears International is the only nonprofit dedicated solely to the conservation of polar bears and the sea ice habitat they depend upon.
It's #PolarBearWeek! We’re raising funds to support our coexistence efforts—helping polar bears & people live safely with each other. Thanks to generous donors, your gift today will be doubled (up to $50,000!) to help ensure polar bears can roam the sea ice for years to come. pbears.org/donate
