Thats.. just completely false. Did you know it was false when you said it? If you did why are you trying to spread misinformation?

Thanks for the article. So their population was artificially capped by overhunting 50 years ago, so although it has risen, its due to humans not hunting them. Not because their environment is improving

Yes, exactly. This is a separate issue than their current decline.

Saying that polar bears are fine because their numbers are up compared to several decades ago is a bit like saying that a ship wrecked crew who has run out of food is fine because the human population on their deserted island is up compared to before they shipwrecked...

The polar bears are not fine.
