Title: Polar Bear
Description: The polar bear is at the top of the arctic marine food web and can thus be used to monitor the impact of changes to the arctic ecosystem (such as the effects of climate change). It is estimated that 20,000 polar bears are left in the Arctic. Climate change represents the most serious threat to the polar bears.
