Polar Bear SOS - Take Action!: Ban The Global Trafficking in Polar Bear Parts

Polar Bear SOS - Take Action!: Thank You - Take Action!: NRDC's Save BioGems "Polar bears are facing possible extinction in this century -- and the unconscionable global trade in their body parts must be stopped. That long-sought goal is now within reach -- if you’ll make your voice heard at this critical moment. The United Kingdom and other key European nations that could determine the polar bear’s fate just 90 days from now are still on the fence about a ban on trafficking. We need your help right now to ratchet up the pressure! Call on U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron to lead the European Union toward a Yes vote on stronger protections for polar bears that will end the international trade in their pelts, claws, skulls and other body parts. Two months ago, President Obama -- after hearing from more than 100,000 NRDC Members like you -- proposed such a ban at the next meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) in March. And Russia, another polar bear range state, made clear that it will back the U.S. proposal."
