The little polar bear is asking for help from humans. bitter

Recently, a heartbreaking video went viral all over the world, in which a thin and bony polar bear was foraging in a trash can. This polar bear stumbled and then lay on the ground waiting to die, crying many netizens at home and abroad. Photographer Paul Nicklen said in an interview that the video was shot in baffin island. At that time, this skinny polar bear was already weak when walking. When it tried its best to hunt food from the waste paint bucket, there was only garbage Paul Nicklen _: "We stood there crying and shooting, and tears fell on our cheeks." Photographers at the scene choked up when they saw this scene, but there was nothing they could do. They don't have tranquilizer guns, let alone hundreds of pounds of seal meat. It is illegal to feed wild polar bears in Canada. Even if it can temporarily alleviate the hunger of polar bears, it will not change its tragic ending in the end. Due to the deterioration of polar environment and the decrease of sea ice, the survival of polar bears is facing great challenges. The polar bear in the video died a few hours after the filming ended. Nine polar bears were found swimming on the northwest coast of Alaska, USA. The nine polar bears were swimming on the high seas, and the farthest one was 60 miles from the coast. Satellite images show that the sea ice in the nearby waters has almost disappeared. Some environmentalists pointed out that it is precisely because sea ice is decreasing year by year that polar bears will travel long distances to find food.
