About the Cover
Polar bears are jeopardized by
poaching and environmental contaminations such as toxic oil spills. They
may suffer irreparably from melting polar ice caps triggered by global
warming. Along with numerous other species, they could be in trouble in
Alaska specifically if the Bush Administration and some Members of
Congress succeed in opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil
drilling. Grizzly bears are similarly at risk from habitat loss,
collapsing salmon stocks, and poaching for their body parts. In British
Columbia, Canada, an absence of reliable grizzly population data led the
Environmental Investigation Agency to wage a successful campaign against
over-hunting there, persuading the Canadian Province’s Premier to
institute a three-year moratorium on grizzly hunting. Photographed by
