International Polar Bear Day is February 27! Find action tools, resources, and ways to get involved.
We founded this day to coincide with the time period when polar bear moms and cubs are snug in their dens. As part of our celebration, we focus on the need to protect denning families across the Arctic. Scroll down for action tools, resources, and ways to get involved!
Right now, polar bear moms and their newborn cubs are snuggled together in snow dens across the Arctic. The denning period is the most vulnerable time in a polar bear’s life. And in a warming Arctic, where polar bears face enormous challenges, the survival of every single cub is critically important.
All moms work hard, but polar bear moms are some of the hardest working of all, with no help from dad and a fasting period that can last 8 months.
Learn all about the maternal polar bear journey from pregnancy to den emergence.
Start a fundraiser to help give polar bear cubs the help they need, providing them with the best possible chance of survival. Invite your friends, family, and colleagues to join you by donating, or encourage friends to start their own fundraiser!
One of the most important things we can do to protect moms and cubs is to get involved and talk about it! Why do you care about polar bears? What moves you to act? Why are moms and cubs important to you?
