The future is always uncertain, and it is appropriate to be concerned about the effects of
climate change, development, and contaminants on arctic wildlife, including polar bears.
However, the Center for Biological Diversity and associated interest groups (e.g.,

initiatives in place to ensure that polar bear populations persist in perpetuity.

headed for extinction; the evidence presented by the proponents does not meet the criteria
of the test for the Endangered Species Act category: “Threatened.”
