The polar bears just might have a fighting chance. The bear was the first to be placed on the United States endangered species list due to climate change. Reportedly ice was melting so rapidly they were literally drowning from having to swim so far to reach the next solid, weight-supporting, ice mass.

“ The George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation in Salt Lake City has awarded $3 million to the Hogle Zoo to help plan and construct an arctic exhibit and return polar bears to the zoo, the Deseret Morning News reports.” Further emphasis was placed on education in making sure people understand the impact they have on the environment.

I’m sure careful attention will be placed on safety of the enclosure due to recent incidents in the news.
