Celebrate the great white bears with us today and every day! We are marking the occasion with the launch of an urgent petition to end the international trade in polar bear furs and hunting trophies, which claims the lives of up to 1000 polar bears each year. We also have a special gift for you!

​Norway is the world's second largest importer of polar bear skins.

Despite protecting its own polar bears from hunting since 1973, Norway imported the furs of 1,104 polar bears from Canada between 1990 and 2015
. That's an average of 40 dead bears a year.

​Right now, the government is considering whether to ban these imports.

​Give polar bears a voice!

​Let Norway know that polar bears should be protected and that ending skin imports is the logical and right thing to do.

Thank you!

In some areas in the Canadian Arctic more than 90% of polar bears targeted are large males. The number of polar bears killed during the 2011 and 2012 Canadian hunting seasons exceeded government hunting quotas by 11 percent, adding a growing number of illegal kills to the already high legal death toll.

The average price of polar bear skins at fur auctions in Canada has more than quadrupled between 2006 and 2014 (from CAD 1,311 to CAD 6,063).

One of the highlights of Barbara's career was working in association with His Holiness the Dalai Lama to initiate the Tibetan Conservation Awareness Campaign (TCAC) in 2005, which led to a mass boycott of wildlife and animal products by the Tibetan nation.
