International Polar Bear Day is an annual event celebrated every February 27 to raise awareness about the conservation status of the polar bear.

Polar bears are classified as marine mammals, carrying with them a thick layer of body fat and a water-repellent coat to keep them insulated against the icy cold air and water they encounter on the sea ice of the Arctic Ocean.
Climate change is a huge threat to polar bears’ existence and it’s up to us to take action and protect their future.

With their territory melting away beneath them, International Polar Bear Day is an important opportunity for us to remind ourselves what is at stake here, preserving the future of these magnificent mammals.
