This is  Wapusk   National Park in Manitoba, Canada.  "Wapusk" is an indigenous language that means "polar bears", and there are so many polar bears that it is called the "capital of polar bears."  They hunt on ice floes, but in recent years the effects of global warming have reduced ice floes and are threatening extinction.

The Hungry Bears

"Polar Bears", Hudson Bay, Canada Today is "International Polar Bear Day".    Polar Bears International, a private protection organization, was established and spread worldwide.  A day aimed at protecting polar bears, the animals most affected by global warming… The main food of polar bears is seals.  I live by hunting seals on the frozen sea.  Therefore, when the ice on the sea is low, it becomes impossible to feed.  Polar bears living here in Hudson Bay, Canada, are facing such a crisis.
