Missing a Global Climate Target Could Spell Disaster for These Polar Bears

Polar bears in the Southern Hudson Bay face extinction by the 2030s due to thinning sea ice affecting their hunting abilities.

The creatures that scientists are at a 'high risk' of extinction

A significant number of freshwater species, around 24%, face extinction risks due to pollution, habitat loss, and invasive species.

Once lost to science, these "uncharismatic" animals are having their moment : Short Wave

Lost species face challenges due to human impacts like climate change and habitat loss, leading to a high risk of extinction.
Charismatic animals have better chances of being rediscovered and receiving conservation attention compared to 'uncharismatic' species.

Two polar bears kill worker at remote Canadian radar site in rare attack

Polar bears killed a worker at a radar site in Canada's Arctic region, prompting a rare fatal attack investigation.

Migrating animals undergo perilous journeys every year. Humans make it more dangerous : Short Wave

Nearly half of the world's already threatened migratory species have declining populations, and more than a fifth of the 1,200 migratory species monitored by the U.N. are threatened with extinction.
The two greatest threats to migratory species are overexploitation and habitat loss from human activities. Invasive species, climate change, and pollution are also contributing factors.
