Synopsis

POLAR BEAR RESCUE is the story of the polar bears and the efforts being made to protect them. Anne-Marie is a researcher studying bear behaviour. One of her tasks is to tag and collar bears so that their movements can be recorded. We follow her to the bears' denning area to watch cubs emerging for the first time. Sam is an Inuit working for a television station. We join him in Churchill, Canada, in the autumn while the bears wait for the sea ice to freeze. . Inuterssuaq is an Inuit living on the west coast of Greenland. Hunting bears is an important part of his people's lives. He is concerned about the effect worldwide pollution will have on the bears and his livelihood. This exciting series looks at the problems facing the world's endangered animals. Through her lively text, conservationist Jill Bailey describes why the animals are threatened and outlines the efforts being made to ensure their survival. Each story is told from the viewpoints of three people who, in very different ways, control the animals' fate.
