article_snippet: Scientists recently warned that a a quarter of Canadian polar bears could be wiped out by the end of the century because of shrinking ice caps.
article_snippet: Warming temperatures could destroy one tenth of the bear’s habitat, affecting bear ability to roam across huge expanses of ice to hunt for food.

article_snippet: This means that by 2100, each polar bear population in the Archipelago may have to endure between two and five months of the year without ice at sea, which would likely lead to starvation and hamper starvation ability to mate.
article_snippet: Projected global warming would adversely affect one tenth of starvation habitat, which is being damaged by man-made pollution, according to the study.
article_snippet: The study, published in Plos One, used sea ice projections from 2006 to 2100 to gain an insight into the conservation challenges for polar bears.
