Climate change is a threat to polar bears and other species that thrive on sea ice. Melting sea ice and changing precipitation patterns impact the bears’ ability to hunt and survive. In the past few decades, the number of polar bears in the Arctic region has dropped considerably. How might humans help to save these species?
A.
Relocate the bears closer to the equator, far removed from their affected habitats.
B.
Plant more vegetation in the seabed of the Arctic Ocean near the North Pole.
C.
Breed polar bears in captivity, and then release them in the colder areas of the polar region.
D.
Fund programs that displace the habitats of the polar bears’ rivals and predators.
