A shrinking home
Polar bears depend on sea ice to hunt, travel, and reach their denning grounds. As the Arctic warms, that ice is disappearing.

Where things stand
Still here.
Needs our help.
Polar bears are extraordinary Arctic survivors. But the world they rely on is changing faster than they can adapt.
IUCN RED LIST STATUSVulnerable
Polar bears face a high risk of extinction in the wild. Sea ice loss, driven by a warming climate, is the greatest long-term threat.

A home made of ice
When the ice
goes, so does
their world.
Polar bears are built for the Arctic, where sea ice is both their hunting ground and their highway. A warmer planet means less time on the ice—and a harder future for every new generation.

A story still being written
Three things
to keep in mind.
Big change can feel far away. For polar bears, it is already shaping the everyday—and the generations to come.
02
Less time to hunt
Earlier spring melt and later fall freeze shorten the season bears have to find the seals that sustain them.
03
A future we can shape
Protecting the climate and the Arctic habitat is essential to giving cubs a chance to grow up wild.

their future wilder.
The Last Cubs is a community-led charity memecoin inspired by the next generation of polar bears. We believe a little internet energy can help more people care about the real-world story unfolding in the Arctic.
