About this episode
Polar bears affected by climate change saw the Hudson Bay population decrease from 1,200 individuals to 600 individuals. We explore the alarming decline of polar bear populations in the western part of Hudson Bay, Canada. Scientists have recorded a drastic decrease from 1,200 to 600 individuals, largely due to climate change and the loss of Arctic sea ice. We discuss the impact of rising temperatures, shifting food sources, and conservation efforts to protect these iconic predators. Join us as we uncover the latest research, the challenges ahead, and what can be done to support polar bear conservation in the face of a warming planet.
