Bear cams go live for polar bear day

Hundreds of thousands of viewers across the globe will tune in to social media for Polar Bear Week, running from 1 – 7 November 2021, with cameras capturing every moment of the polar bear migration from Churchill in the Canadian province of Manitoba.

Polar Bear Week allows real-time access to these magnificent creatures in their natural habit, as they wait for the sea ice to form in order to migrate across the Canadian Arctic.

Viewers can ‘bear’ witness to this annual journey from the comfort of their home by accessing the live streams found at www.explore.org/polarbears.

An initiative created by Explore.org, Frontiers North Adventures and Polar Bears International, the use of non-stop coverage of the polar bears’ plight on social media aims to rapidly build awareness of the devastating effects climate change is having on this unique species.

People are encouraged to take part in community projects to reduce or replace fossil fuels, research renewable energy options, share concerns and solutions about climate change on social media, and tune into a live polar bear cam to spot the furry creatures in action.

The live coverage, which will stream until the ice freezes in late November, is produced from four cameras, one of which is positioned at Wapusk National Park, a large maternity den where female polar bears give birth.
