Original Note:
The reason why the polar bear population has somewhat recovered in the last decades is the significant reduction of uncontrolled hunting, not the absence of climate change as the post insinuates. The latter causes an increasing loss of suitable habitat for the species. https://arcticportal.org/ap-library/news/3270-polar-bear-population#:~:text=It%20lives%20in%20coastal%20areas,26.000%20individuals%20as%20of%202021.
