WWF Featured Polar Bear

This is Izzy.  Named by the Norwegian Polar Institute, she lived near Svalbard, Norway. She was one of the 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears still in the wild. Izzy was one several bears that scientists had been tracking via the WWF Polar Bear Tracker.  

As you may have guessed, Izzy has stopped showing up on the Polar Bear Tracker.  Perhaps her satellite collar malfunctioned or fell off.  But maybe she just couldn't last.  We are so sorry Izzy.  You beautiful creature, you deserve so much better.  I will continue to write this blog in honor of you Izzy.  There are a community of people out there that really care and we are going to stand up for you.  We are joining together.  Thank you WWF.
