Save the Polar Bears!
I love this photo of Ainsley. It is one of my all time favorites. I'm not sure there's anything more adorable than my little polar bear. But, Arctic polar bears are in trouble and there is a movement to get them on the Endangered Species List. Scientists have documented multiple deaths of polar bears off Alaska. You'll have to decide if you believe the Arctic ice shelf is melting or that man is contributing to their demise. Protecting these incredible creatures who are at the top of the Arctic food chain is important.
I want Ainsley and future generations to be able to witness such a spectacular creature. I want to protect my little polar bear and the ones who live in the Arctic.
