In The Den

Right now, polar bear moms and their newborn cubs are snuggled together in snow dens across the Arctic. The denning period is the most vulnerable time in a polar bear’s life. And in a warming Arctic, where polar bears face enormous challenges, the survival of every single cub is critically important.

You Can Help

We invite you to join our collective effort to protect moms and cubs. Use your voice and platform to raise awareness about the threats polar bear families face–and help support our efforts to give them the best possible chance.
