Summary: More than 200,000 square miles of land, sea and ice along the northern coast of Alaska has been designated to the shrinking polar bear population by the Interior Department. This is the most land area ever given for the protection of any species. The bears' range was shrinking because of the melting ice caps due to global warming.
Response: This is an extremly important article, and it is huge that this land has been given to the polar bears'. Personally, I am esctatic about this. I love polar bears and to read the government is help ing save them from extinction is great. In May 2008, the polar bear was threatened with extinction. The next step that needs to be taken is the outlawing of hunting in the polar bears' habitat's.
