Environment: Drowning Bears



Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne has done the right thing in giving greater protection to the polar bear. Now it is on the threatened species list of the Endangered Species Act. As the arctic ice melts in the American territory of Alaska and adjacent waters/islands, the population of bears can be expected to diminish, so more will need to be done in the future to relocate some bears and possibly to restore some icy habitat. International cooperation will be needed as well.
