© Marcel van Balken – Netherlands, Polarbearpet, Particular Merit Mention, All About Photo Awards 2020. Climate change, and the loss of sea ice habitat, is the greatest threat to polar bears. More and more polar bears are being forced ashore, away from their sea-ice hunting grounds. But it does not make sense to make your home (or bathroom) available as a haven for the polar bear. It’s better to spread awareness about the real and pressing threat of climate change. http://www.photure.nl/
