Listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List, the polar bear has been affected by sea ice losses in the Arctic from global warming which have caused a loss of habitat and prey. In summer 2012, sea ice losses in the Arctic were larger than the size of the United States. Biologists estimate that there are 20,000 – 25,000 polar bears. About 60% of these live in Canada and they are also found in the U.S. (Alaska), Russia, Greenland and in Norway.YWP will be working with the conservation organisation Polar Bears International to raise funds and support research and work with polar bears in the wild so this is where we need your help, we are looking for willing participants to Bare all on this three quarter mile naked dash around Yorkshire Wildlife Park.To sign up to this event please read the following information below beforehandBy signing up to Yorkshire Wildlife Park Foundation’s “Bare all for Polar Bears 2016” you will need to pay a £10.00 non-refundable registration fee per single person and by doing this you are pledging to raise as much as you can to help support YWPF’s work with Polar Bear’s international.To enter simply complete the registration form, pay the appropriate registration fee and bring a form of ID along with you to the event.
