## Caption

We launched a new lawsuit this month to protect Arctic ice seals. The ringed seal and the bearded seal were both listed under the Endangered Species Act in 2012, but neither has received a recovery plan as the law requires.

Both species rely on sea ice to give birth, nurse and rear pups. But their future is jeopardized by a warming climate. The Arctic is warming 4x faster than the rest of the planet, and the region may be free from summer ice as soon as 2035.
