Footprints of male Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus) on ice flows at Hornsundet, south west coast of Spitsbergen, Svalbard, Arctic Norway.
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)
