Answer 1

Seems that the polar bear has been endangered for some time.. the US Fish and Wildlife Service has been protecting them since 1972. Information below .................

(1)The worldwide polar bear population is between 20,000 and 25,000, scientists estimate.

(2)By the late 1970's scientists recognized that polar bear populations were too low and the bears were added to the endangered species list. Eventually the International Agreement on the Conservation of Polar Bears and Their Habitat brought the over-hunting under control in 1975.

POPULATION:
There are approximately 35,000 to 40,000 in the world. The largest populations live in Canada, Greenland, Siberia, and Alaska. Smaller populations also live in Norway. Current populations are under threat because of over-hunting, poaching, pollution, global warming, and increasing oil and gas drilling. The number of individuals, of this largest bear species, currently surviving in the world is estimated to be 20,000-30,000.

(3)In the US polar bears have been protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act since 1972. In 1976 an international agreement was signed by the US , the former Soviet Union, Denmark(Greenland), Canada and Norway.
