**NGO Overview, Mission, and Purpose: What We Are About and Who We Help**
We are all about polar bears. We like to talk about them, read about them, study them, see them in real life, follow them, track them, and more. You ask us a question about polar bears; we’ve got an answer. We think that polar bears are just as important as every other animal is, and we want to do everything we can to ensure their survival. Our main mission is to make sure that the polar bear survives. We are trying to prevent global warming as much as we can so that the polar bears’ habitat doesn’t melt into the sea like it is right at this very moment. Global warming is caused by the vast emissions of carbon dioxide into the air. There are not enough trees or plants in this world to suck it all out of the atmosphere. Airplanes, cars, and trains all pay a large contribution to these emissions. There is absolutely no need for so much carbon dioxide in the air. It ruins the polar bear’s chances of survival by a large margin. We are doing absolutely everything we can to keep the polar bear’s hopes alive because if we don’t take any action, the polar bear will go extinct in just a matter of years. We are working with companies like the Association of Zoos and Aquariums to bring some polar bears into captivity to increase their chances. Overall, we just want these majestic bears to survive.

**NGO "Bottom Line": How Me Make an Impact**
We are working to find ways to stop the polar bear population from declining. In doing so, we are working with many zoos across the United States and Canada to bring some polar bears into captivity. Many of these zoos are also conserving energy to prevent excessive carbon dioxide emissions. Working together, we are reducing the amount of fuel used to keep the animals healthy, we are keeping waste out of landfills by recycling, we are using alternative fuel sources like electricity to transport zoo guests, and we are using bio-diesel fuels made from oils and grease from zoo restaurants. By holding the bears in captivity and reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, we are increasing the chances of the polar bears’ survival in the future. Our work is saving the lives of hundreds of polar bears in the Arctic tundra. Overall, Polar Bears International is working to save the polar bear population from dropping to the point of no return. Without us, they may have already gone extinct.
