While the beekeeping and agricultural industries are in the middle of a crisis concerning disappearing bees and dying bats, a crisis that may soon threaten the United States food supply, the U.S. Department of the Interior was taking a much more proactive approach to the potential future problems of the polar bear. In fact, the Department of the Interior has just added the polar bear to the list of threatened species under the endangered polar bears Species Act. To preserve the habitat of the polar bear as an endangered polar bears species will make it even more difficult to explore for oil and gas in the state of Alaska in the future.
