Summary: The Alaskan Governor promised 200,000 square miles of land, and ice for the polar bears under the Endangered Species Act.According to the Polar Bear Specialists Group, just one of the 19 subpopulations of bears is increasing, eight are declining and three are stable.

Response: Sense climate change is the biggest threat to polar bears, the Alaskan Government giving 200,000 square miles to the species is more then nessesary. They are close to becoming extinct, and they need to be protected. THis land outlaws all hunting and developing on the polar bears property which gives them the space they need to survive.
