Abstract
In 1973 the polar bear range states agreed to conserve polar bears and the ecosystem of which polar bears are a part. Commentators generally regard that Agreement as a success. The Agreement protected polar bears principally by prohibiting the unsustainable harvest of bears. The bear has also been protected by its listing on Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). However, it is now apparent that the principal threat to the polar bear is climate change rather than hunting or international trade in bears and bear products.
