This week I’ve had the enjoyable task of sifting through some rather lovely polar bear photos to add to our new-look website (it’s a tough job…!). So I was delighted to then go home to find a particularly cute mother and cub lurking in my tv guide last night, highlighting a new documentary airing this Friday, 23rd January. The Natural World is showing on BBC2 at 8pm, and will be focusing on global warming and the impact it is having on both the polar bears and the grizzlies of northern Canada. As the temperature increases the bears are beginning to find themselves in the same areas, as the grizzlies head north to cooler climes, and the two species have even started to interbreed. One to watch this weekend!

Global warming is an issue that isn't discussed enough in public forums, great job with posting about this subject and creating necessary awareness about it.
I have heard of another really interesting website about a polar expedition focused on global warming research and its detrimental impact on the environment, lead by noted explorer Andrew Reagan that will of interest to any advocate of environmental awareness

Thought you might enjoy a fun little look at the arctic in a video I helped create, by the same name as your blog entry: Bear Necessities.
