FEATURE - Wunderschöne Polar-Bäre
POLAR BEAR swimming Ursus maritimus Svalbard, Norwegian Arctic
Polar bear populations are likely to fall by more than 30% by around the middle of the century as global warming thaws Arctic sea ice, experts said in the most detailed review of the predators to date.
The report, by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, estimated there are between 22,000 and 31,000 polar bears in the Arctic and said they will be increasingly vulnerable as their habitat shrinks.
"Climate change will continue to seriously threaten polar bear survival in the future," Inger Andersen, IUCN Director General, said of the study, based on updated counts and new projections of sea ice since a previous review in 2008.
It said there was a high probability that "the global polar bear population will decline by more than 30% over the next 35 to 40 years", broadly reaffirming findings from 2008. (FOTO: DUKAS/PHOTOSHOT)

International Polar Bear Day is celebrated every 27 February to raise awareness about the conservation status of the polar bear.
In honour of this occasion, wildlife guide, photographer and presenter Paul Goldstein has bought together his favourite images of the majestic predator.
Wimbledon-based Paul, who guides for Exodus, explains: "Polar bears are in danger of becoming an anachronism, a fading apex predator that suffers more and more as the sea ice melts earlier each year."
Highlights of over a decade of sightings include a mother and cubs sitting on an iceberg, an adult attempting to catch tasty birds on a cliff face and a little cub appearing to wave.

A Selfie For Santa... Young Reindeer Poses for Close-Up Shot
Oh deer - this youthful reindeer appears to be taking a selfie for Santa.
Wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein was setting up for a shot of the animals in Spitsbergen, Norway when the inquisitive creatures ambled over for a look.
Initially lying on the ground with a long lens at a sensitive distance from the wild animals, Paul had to freeze when they came within feet.
Then one appeared to actively pose for a close-up self-portrait.
Wimbledon-based guide Paul was leading a trip to find polar bears for London travel company Exodus when he and his group came across the reindeer.
Disembarking from their ice breaker to get a closer view, the tour group snapped away as their leader Paul became a reindeer magnet.
Paul explains: "With any animals it is essential to be quiet, be down wind and be as still as possible.
"These reindeer were just curious initially and as they got closer I switched from a long lens to a tiny one, then just put my head down, hanging onto my camera for 'deer' life and enjoyed what was a very intimate moment.
"They did not rush off, if it had been a bad-tempered male with a big rack it could have cost me deer.
"Spitsbergen is special, I love it in the land of 24 hour daylight, which is why I have been guiding special charters up her for ten years."
Paul says it reminded him of an encounter in Kenya's Masai Mara when a young lion appeared to pose for another's camera. "Remarkably one young male managed to erect the tripod before setting up the shot," he recalls.

"Spitsbergen is special, I love it in the land of 24 hour daylight, which is why I have been guiding special charters up her for ten years."
Paul says it reminded him of an encounter in Kenya's Masai Mara when a young lion appeared to pose for another's camera. "Remarkably one young male managed to erect the tripod before setting up the shot," he recalls.

A Selfie For Santa... Young Reindeer Poses for Close-Up Shot
Oh deer - this youthful reindeer appears to be taking a selfie for Santa.
Wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein was setting up for a shot of the animals in Spitsbergen, Norway when the inquisitive creatures ambled over for a look.
Initially lying on the ground with a long lens at a sensitive distance from the wild animals, Paul had to freeze when they came within feet.
Then one appeared to actively pose for a close-up self-portrait.
Wimbledon-based guide Paul was leading a trip to find polar bears for London travel company Exodus when he and his group came across the reindeer.
Disembarking from their ice breaker to get a closer view, the tour group snapped away as their leader Paul became a reindeer magnet.
Paul explains: "With any animals it is essential to be quiet, be down wind and be as still as possible.
"These reindeer were just curious initially and as they got closer I switched from a long lens to a tiny one, then just put my head down, hanging onto my camera for 'deer' life and enjoyed what was a very intimate moment.
"They did not rush off, if it had been a bad-tempered male with a big rack it could have cost me deer.

Paul Goldstein's Spectacular Spitsbergen
For wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein, a visit to Spitsbergen in Norway is a picture perfect paradise.
And these images taken last month show the otherworldly region in all its glory.
They include pictures of wildlife including polar bears, arctic foxes, walruses, and guillemots flying over the sea.
There are also jaw-dropping captures of sun corona, an optical phenomenon produced by ice crystals creating coloured or white arcs and spots in the sky.
Each year Wimbledon-based Exodus guide Paul leads small pilgrimages to the region on a Russian ice-strengthened ship. Spitsbergen is the largest and only permanently populated island of the Svalbard archipelago.
Speaking of the coronas, he explains: "At almost 80 degrees North in Spitsbergen the sun's corona was marvellously visible to a small band of Arctic holidaymakers as they enjoyed this icy Eden. Coronas appear during eclipses and sometimes with exactly the right amount of light cloud in front of the sun.
"Photographically they are remarkable, turning an already beautiful seascape into maritime nirvana."
Explaining the search for polar bears, Paul says: "Searching for a distant ivory blob on a white canvas is never easy and many years ago I realised that the only way to get this reward was to dedicate a lot of time to it. Fortunately in the land of 24 hour daylight, this is made easier.
"We have no itinerary but if we do find a bear, with our incredibly quiet engines and robust hull we can get reasonably close without affecting them, we are never in a hurry to leave.
"Spitsbergen is magical but it is changing a little. I have seen glaciers shrink as much as a kilometre in the last ten years and also realised the effect on bear...
