| The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing to list the polar bear as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act and initiating a comprehensive scientific review to assess the current status and future of the species. "Polar bears are one of nature's ultimate survivors, able to live and thrive in one of the world's harshest environments," U.S. Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne said. "But we are concerned the polar bears' habitat may literally be melting." |
