Are there groups working to help polar bears?
Yes. Polar Bear International is a nonprofit organization that funds studies and raises money to help conserve polar bears and their habitat. There are many other organizations as well. You’ve seen polar bears in the wild. Tell me about that. In October 2003, I spent three days on the Hudson Bay, in Canada, in a small town called Churchill, which is the polar-bear capital of the world. In October, the polar bears near there are just finishing their summer starvation, and they congregate along the edge of the Hudson Bay near the Churchill River. The estuary formed by the meeting of the river and the bay freezes before any other spot due to the freshwater mixing with the saltwater. Many polar bears gather there because they are anxiously awaiting the winter freeze-up so they can return to the ice to hunt seals. Did you get close to the polar bears? I took day trips out of Churchill in a Tundra Buggy, which is a huge vehicle that looks like a Hummer mated with a school bus. I suppose curi
