Over the last several years, I have posted many articleas about our success in saving the Polar Bear, Whooping Crane and Bald Eagle.

With the Endangered Species Act of 1972, Richrd Nixon focused public attention on the plight of these (and other) species and made it a national priority to save them.

There were just a few thousand Polar Bear in the mid 1950s. Now there are 25000 and the population growth continues. Their numbers have exceeded the habitat carrying capacity in some places.

Taking pictures of "poor lonely polar bear floating away on ice fragment" may work for grade school propaganda, but it does not work on people in the science community. Just the facts m'am.
