The polar bear is listed as “vulnerable” on the international Union for conservation red list of nature under threat of extinction, due to the significant loss of Arctic sea ice due to climate change. The IUCN estimates there are 22,000 to 31, 000 polar bears worldwide. There are 19 different subpopulations of polar bears that live throughout the ice-covered waters of the circumpolar Arctic, although the majority lives in Canada.
