Polar Bear Cubs are Feeling the Heat Too

Nana- The North Pole could be completely free of ice during summer within the next few years. That could mean extinction for polar bears. Please make an urgent gift today and help us raise $100,000 by July 18th. After months of hibernation, a polar bear mom and her cubs awake, hungry and in desperate need of food. Feeding her cubs has become increasingly difficult because of global warming. Melting sea ice means she now has to swim out to sea to find food. Her cubs follow behind her trying to keep up as best they can. They have to keep pushing until they find food. Sadly, they don’t always make it. Oil giant Shell will be arriving any day now to begin exploratory drilling off the coast of Alaska in a place which, if they find oil could become industrialized. If the company finds oil, things will only get worse for this polar bear mom and her cubs. To save the Arctic we have to act. Fast. Donate now and help us raise $100,000 by July 18th to protect this polar bear and her cubs and save the Arctic. Shell won’t be in the Arctic alone. We’ll be there as well with our ship the Esperanza documenting what’s happening below the surface where Shell plans to drill. We’re going to make sure the world sees what’s going on — especially if something goes wrong. We’re also mobilizing one million people from the around the world to sign on in support of declaring the high Arctic a global sanctuary off limits to industrialization. Thanks to the help of Paul McCartney, Jude Law and people like you we’re already halfway to our goal. Once we reach a million signatures we’re going to take the names, put them on a flag, and plant it at the bottom of the sea 4 km beneath the North Pole. None of this is possible without your support. Please make an urgent gift today and help us raise $100,000 by July 18th. We need just 175 gifts from your state to hit our goal. Last year alone Shell admitted to causing 207 ‘significant’ spills worldwide in places like Nigeria and Britain’s North Sea. Any one of those would be an even greater disaster in the harsh waters of the Arctic and for a polar bear mother trying to feed her cubs. We have a chance to make history. Together we can make the creation of a global sanctuary in the high Arctic a reality. I know it’s possible because Greenpeace achieved the very same thing twenty years ago when Antarctica was declared a World Park, off-limits to industrialization. This is a long-term campaign. The oil industry won’t back down, and neither will we. But our plan and the polar bears that call the Arctic home all depend on your support. Greenpeace doesn’t take a dime from corporations or governments. Please make a gift today to save the Arctic. Thanks, Dan Howells Greenpeace Deputy Campaigns Director P.S. We need just 175 supporters like you to donate from your state to meet our goal. Please donate right now via our secure website or by calling 1-800-722-6995.
