More about the CREW's Polar Bear Signature Project:
By purchasing a polar bear shirt, you are helping to support the Cincinnati Zoo's Center for Conservation and Research of Endangered Wildlife (CREW) as it works to create a more stable future for the world's threatened polar bears.
In partnership with zoos across North America, CREW researchers race against the clock to save this iconic animal with science. Through extensive cutting-edge research, CREW scientists are working to create successful captive breeding programs and preserve irreplaceable genetics so that they are not lost forever.
Proceeds raised through donations and shirt sales will go towards CREW's Polar Bear Challenge: a challenge to raise a total of $35,000 by December 31st to support CREW's Polar Bear Signature Project. Donations to the Polar Bear Challenge will generously be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Young Family Foundation and an anonymous donor.
Polar bear, a species threatened with extinction
The polar bear has become an icon for global warming in political and public arenas. Because sea ice is an essential component of the polar bears' ecosystem, a change in its distribution and longevity due to global warming could profoundly affect the species' future. Because of this impending threat of the loss of sea ice, polar bears were listed as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act of 2008. Zoos are strategically breeding this species in efforts to develop a self-sustaining captive population while employing these charismatic ambassadors to educate visitors about glocal warming and wildlife conservation.
CREW is Saving Species with Science ®
Through the use of assisted reproduction and sound scientific technologies, CREW scientists in the Animal Research Division are Saving Species with Science ®. CREW's research results broaden our knowledge and understanding of animal biology, increases genetic diversity among captive populations, connects captive and wild populations and conserves imperiled animals in their natural environment.
