Kansas City Zoo - Polar Bear Week

As we venture into #PolarBearWeek, let’s shine the spotlight on the group that started this week-long celebration! 

Polar Bears International (PBI) came up with the idea for this extended holiday to coincide during the time of year when polar bears congregate near Churchill, Canada. 

The bears wait for sea ice form to proceed with their seal hunting. 

Sea ice loss has been a huge threat to Arctic species, and Polar Bear Week is the perfect time to learn more and discover ways to help. 

All week long, PBI is hosting informative webcasts called Tundra Connections. Be sure to visit https://bit.ly/3zzvnZN and learn from a vast array of experts!
