Polar Bears International

For our team at Polar Bears International, fall has a buzz: a sense of urgency and excitement as we prepare for the gathering of polar bears.

Hundreds of polar bears gather on Russia's Wrangel Island during the ice-free season. A joint research project is helping to answer questions about these bears.

Take part in the Global Climate Strike September 20 to 27—and just see where it leads. It could be the turning point in the climate crisis.

Scientists once thought that polar bears might enter a state of "walking hibernation" during the summer/early fall, but the evidence shows no special trick.

For two months every summer, my world revolves around the river and the whales, and the Beluga Boat becomes my second home.

This year, we are proud to present the North Slope Borough's Polar Bear Patrols in Alaska with our annual World Ranger Day Award.
