About the WWF-Canon Polar Bear Tracker
For the last 4 years, the WWF-Canon Polar Bear Tracker has followed polar bears in the Arctic.
Their positions are beamed from collars on the bears’ necks, via satellite to scientists, and then to this website.It allows us to get regular updates about how the polar bears behave in their arctic environment and how they may be affected by climate change. Read more about tagging the polar bears.
This website is brought to you with the help of the Norwegian Polar Institute, the US Geological Survey and the University of Alberta. Learn more about the important work of these different agencies.
