Today is World Environment Day and the focus this year is on the melting ice.
The polar bear, which was endangered for many years due to human activities, was finally being stabilized. Hunting has stopped and they were actually increasing in number again.
But now the polar bear is facing a new enemy - this enemy is climate change. Wit the ice melting in the north pole, the bear is losing its home fast.
The polar bear is not the only animal risking extinction due to climate change. Many researchers say that, if uncontrolled, climate change could wipe out 30% of species on land!
