Netto Collection “adopts” three polar bears from the World Wildlife Fund. Make your “adoption” today and we’ll match it.
The polar bear has been making lots of news lately. Recently a federal court ordered the Bush administration to decide by May 15th whether the animal deserves protection under the Endangered Species Act.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, some polar bears are already starving as a result of changing arctic conditions believed to be caused by global warming. According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, there was less sea ice covering the Arctic Ocean last summer than has ever been reported. Polar bears rely on this sea ice to hunt. Others insist that with an estimated 20,000 polar bears in the Arctic, the animals are hardly under threat.
And yet the scientific evidence is pretty convincing.
Netto Collection wants polar bears fat and happy so we have begun supporting the World Wildlife Fund’s efforts to protect the polar bear and its habitat. For the month of May, Netto Collection will match any polar bear adoption gifts by you. Just send of a receipt of proof of WWF adoption and we’ll adopt another polar bear thru June 8th.
