It's , which means polar bear migration in Churchill, Manitoba (the polar bear capital of the world) is fully underway! 🐻‍❄️❄️

Every year, polar bears gather on the shores of the Hudson Bay in Canada and wait for the sea ice to return so they can hunt seals. 🦭 Each year, this hunt gets harder for the bears due to global warming.

Because of this, polar bears are spending more time on the shores, and human and polar bear conflict is on the rise.

Our long term conservation project Polar Bears International is addressing this by helping communities come up with protocols and procedures to help minimize negative encounters, keeping everyone, including polar bears, safer!
