Have you ever wanted to see what it\u2019s like to be a polar bear researcher? For today\u2019s Eco-Activity, that\u2019s exactly what you\u2019ll be doing. Buckle up, you\u2019ve got some polar bears to study! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each bear is wearing a tracking collar so you can see where they\u2019ve gone, but enough chit chat! You\u2019ve got some important information to collect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being a real polar bear researcher is a lot of work. Just ask our partner, Larissa Thelin from the University of Alberta! She\u2019s working hard to learn how climate change will affect polar bears in the Davis Strait\u2014that\u2019s the area between Baffin Island and Greenland! You can help support her work with an Earth Rangers Wildlife Adoption. Check them out here!<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
