Who We Are
Polar Bears International is the only nonprofit with a sole focus on protecting polar bears and their sea ice habitat. We are a science-based charity registered in both Canada and the United States, with work spanning the circumpolar Arctic.
Live Chat: Staying Safe in Bear Country
As polar bears spend more time on land in more places they will come into more contact with people. We want to ensure that everyone has the education, tools, and support that they need for both species to stay safe. Tune in to learn about how we are supporting human-polar bear coexistence, developing new tools, testing existing equipment, and helping share and spread knowledge across the north.
