Species : The Svalbard polar bears
About the Svalbard polar bears: The polar bears are a group of male and female bears aged between 5 and 12 years old. They live in the Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic, which belongs to Norway. Svalbard is made up of three larger islands and numerous smaller islands and approximately 60% of the archipelago is covered in glaciers.
From just £3.00 a month you can adopt the Svalbard polar bears, helping WWF to safeguard the future of wild polar bears, and tackle some of the biggest conservation challenges that we face today.
About polar bears: Polar bears are found in the Arctic landscapes of Canada, Greenland, Norway, Russia and Alaska. Research has shown that more than a quarter of polar bear populations are in decline and if current global warming trends continue, polar bears may become extinct within 100 years.
