The Loch Ness Monster, Sasquatch,
and Polar Bears
By Hannah Garvey
What were the causes of the polar ice cap
melting in the Arctic Ocean and what are the
impacts of the melting towards the polar
bears and other marine ecosystems and what
are the steps for trying to prevent the
extinction of the bears and their environment
around them?
Causes
• Temperature of ocean is increasing
• More CO2 in the atmosphere
• Precipitation of freshwater
Impacts
•
•
•
•
•
Food Chain
Food sources move along with the ice
Seals
Whales
Fisheries
Impacts on Polar Bears
•
•
•
•
Food sources declining
Less time to gather food for winter
Drowning
Hunting
Prevention
• Governments admitted that there is a major
risk up North.
• WWF
• WWF and Coca-Cola
• WWF and Bank of America
• Going Green
Conclusion
The climate is changing because of many reasons, and some
cannot be changed, but projects and organizations can be put
in place to keep the temperature at bay as long as possible.
One person taking a stance against this climate change is only
one little step but if every body took a stance, the polar bears
could have a chance at living in their natural environment for
another century.
