2 Polar Bears Polar Bears Scientific Name Is Ursus Maritimus Polar Bears Scientific Name Is Ursus Maritimus Polar Bears population is decreasing Polar Bears population is decreasing Countries: Canada (Labrador, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Ontario, Québec, Yukon); Greenland; Norway; Russian Federation (Krasnoyarsk, North European Russia, West Siberia, Yakutiya); Svalbard and Jan Mayen; United States (Alaska) Countries: Canada (Labrador, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Ontario, Québec, Yukon); Greenland; Norway; Russian Federation (Krasnoyarsk, North European Russia, West Siberia, Yakutiya); Svalbard and Jan Mayen; United States (Alaska)

3 Polar Bears Habitat Polar bears occur at low densities throughout their range and are most abundant in shallow water areas near shore or where currents or upwellings increase biological productivity near ice areas associated with open water, polynyas or lead systems. Polar bears are not as abundant in the high central arctic over deeper waters of the polar basin.

4 Polar bears Reasons For Endangerment The increasing changes in the sea ice that affect access to prey will have a negative effect on the bears. With less food, polar bears will fail to reproduce more often and give birth to smaller young that have higher mortality rates.

5 Red Pandas Scientific Name- Ailurus fulgens Scientific Name- Ailurus fulgens There is less than 10,000 Red pandas There is less than 10,000 Red pandas Countries- Bhutan China, India, Laos Myanmar and Nepal Countries- Bhutan China, India, Laos Myanmar and Nepal

6 Red Pandas Habitat Red pandas have a large range that extends from western Nepal to northern Myanmar. The species also lives throughout mountainous areas of south western China at elevations between 4,900 and 13,000 feet.

7 Why Red Pandas Are Endangered Red pandas are endangered, victims of deforestation. Their natural space is shrinking as more and more forests are destroyed by logging and the spread of agriculture.
