The Interior Dept. of the US proposed over 200,000 miles of Alaskan land for the conservation of polar bears. The area, which contains sea and ice, is home to two polar bear populations numbering over 3,500. Polar bears have been threatened since May 2008, due to global warming. However, at the same time, they are still allowing companies to drill in Alaska. Its some what redundant because the needs for human survival is more important than polar bears. There is so much ice and sea that the polar bears can migrate to. If you ask me, the polar bears are being greedy jerk faces. Anyways black bears are better.
