		Help Save an Arctic Icon   Polar bears are under attack in Congress -- just as they struggle to survive in the wild. Please donate now to support our work to help save America's polar bears from extinction and protect other wildlife struggling to survive.  Share on Facebook Dear Wildlife Supporter, She swam and swam in open water -- for 232 hours straight, covering more than 420 miles -- in search of dwindling sea ice to hunt for food. Her quest came at a great cost: she lost more than 20 percent of her body weight -- and her yearling cub. As rising temperatures take their toll in the Arctic, one polar bear mother's epic journey could become all too common. Please donate now to support our work to help save America's struggling polar bears from extinction. America's polar bears are in trouble. The sea ice these iconic bears need to survive is rapidly disappearing. Yet some in Congress are unleashing an attack on America's remaining polar bears -- and the places they need to raise their cubs. Idaho Congressman Mike Crapo wants to allow Big Oil's drills into the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge -- one of the most important onshore denning habitats for America's struggling polar bears. Another bill from Alaska Representative Don Young would strip vital federal protections for these amazing bears -- and seriously undermine the Endangered Species Act. And several bills are proposing to gut the Environmental Protection Agency's power to curtail the greenhouse gas emissions that are already affecting polar bears and other Arctic wildlife. Our polar bears need your help. Please donate today to help save these iconic bears and other wildlife struggling to survive. Your generous support will help Defenders save polar bears by... Combating legislation that would render the federal government powerless to save polar bears, walrus and other wildlife already struggling in a changing climate; Keeping Big Oil's dirty drills from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge -- one of the most important onshore denning habitats for America's struggling polar bears; Fighting in Congress to defend the integrity of the Endangered Species Act; Championing legislation to address climate change; and Much, much more to help polar bears and other wildlife struggling to survive. Please donate today to save polar bears. Scientists predict that U.S. polar bears could disappear in just a few decades as climate change and other threats take their toll. But we can make a difference. Please donate today to save something wild and help us protect these iconic sea bears and other wildlife struggling to survive. For the Wild Ones, Rodger Schlickeisen President Defenders of Wildlife P.S. Few polar bears may survive the effects of climate change, but with the combined threat of warming temperatures and increased drilling, America's polar bears could soon disappear. Donate online today to help us save them. Or call 1-800-385-9712 to donate by phone.
