Polar bear population to decline by a third by 2050: study
https://globalnews.ca/news/3112257/p....google.com%2F
Polar bear numbers could drop by a third by mid-century due to disappearing Arctic sea ice owing to climate change, a comprehensive new study has found.
The current global population of polar bears is estimated to be around 26,000. The bears use the ice as a platform to hunt seals, the fat-rich prey they depend on to get through the long Arctic winter.Researchers said there’s a 70 per cent chance the population will shrink by a third; there’s a chance, but a lower probability, the population could decline by 50 per cent by 2050.
The reseachers’ projections were made using statistical models and computer simulations, using 35 years of satellite data.

Their categories go like this...
1.Least concerned
2.Near threatened
3.Vulnerable
4.Endangered
5.Critically endangered
6.Extinct in the wild
7.Extinct
They were downgraded from being endangered to being vulnerable, certainly going in the right direction.
