Polar bears on the edge

Meer over het boek

In his book, Morten analyses the current status of the Polar Bear. And he punctures the myth that Polar Bears are well protected and managed today. While most people think that global warming is the overhanging threat to Polar Bear survival, Morten documents that it is actually the continuation of an unsustainable hunting pressure that is driving the species towards extinction. Across 228 pages, interspersed with beautiful photographs, Morten demonstrates how there are probably fewer Polar Bears than most authorities claim, how hunting is the greatest manageable threat to the species, how current protection measures are insufficient, how the animal has been commercialized and how lack of courage and honesty is allowing this scenario to continue. The book also contains a long string of realistic and very urgent recommendations for action to save Polar Bears before they are gone forever
