Polar bears are facing a severe crisis due to climate change, primarily the loss of sea ice, which they rely on for hunting seals (their main food), breeding, and travel; this leads to starvation, reduced reproduction, and increased human conflict as they spend more time on land, threatening their survival and pushing them toward extinction by the end of the century without drastic carbon emission cuts. While some genetic adaptation is occurring, the rapid pace of Arctic warming overwhelms these
