Polar bears suffer increased paw injuries due to climate change, affecting their hunting and survival.

A recent study reveals that polar bears in the Arctic are suffering from increased paw injuries linked to climate change. As sea ice melts and refreezes, bears face longer land excursions on harsh terrain, leading to cuts and infections that impair their hunting ability. This trend poses a serious threat to their health and survival, underscoring the urgent need for action on climate change to protect Arctic wildlife.
