The Bush Administration has announced that it will protect polar bears as a "threatened species" under the Endangered Species Act. The decision follows a three-year legal battle waged by NRDC, the Center for Biological Diversity and Greenpeace. While the new protection marks a huge step forward in our long-term fight to save the bear from the ravages of global warming, the administration's action was also full of loopholes for oil companies and other global warming polluters. As NRDC and our partners head back to court to win full-fledged endangered species protection for the polar bear, you can help give these majestic creatures a fighting chance by urging Congress to pass tough global warming legislation. Act now!
