## Caption

In 2008, the polar bear became the first animal to make the Endangered Species Act list of threatened species due to global warming. More than a decade later, the iconic mammals still need our help. The Arctic sea ice that polar bears depend on is still disappearing at rapid rates.

This #InternationalPolarBearDay, we know how we can protect polar bears and their critical habitats. With swift action to #CutMethane, studies show we could preserve Arctic summer sea ice within this century and give species like polar bears an opportunity to thrive.
