Polar Bears Vs Oil

the article im reporting on is about oil companies buying rights in alaska for drilling. Activists in the area are trying to prevent this from occurring by placing the polar bear on the endangered list. While getting the bear on the endangered list wouldn’t prevent the oil companies from purchasing the rights it would certainly deter them as it would be much harder to do what they would like with the land if they are worrying about the polar bear. The US government is expecting they can list the polar bear as threatened but feel it is very unlikely that they will label them as endangered. i wanted to talk about this article as i really love the polar bear and would really like to see him protected. i dont like to think they are in danger enough to be listed as endangered but it would be better off for them to get such a title. the alaskan wilderness is an incredibly beautiful area and i would hate to see it disturbed so big oil companies can suck more oil from below the earth’s topsoil. the tougher it is made for oil companies to get oil the more likely it is for the population to push for renewable resources. i really hope the activists can have success in enlisting the polar bear as an endangered species to hinder the drilling of the big oil companies.
