Extinction

Environmental perspective has been changing with the years, and people are now more concerned (or at least they should be) with species, pollution, fresh air or lack of it, and everything else related to a prevent the global warming increasement.
As we read in this article, there are more bear species threatened with extinction.
Six of the world's eight species of bear are threatened with extinction, according to a report from the World Conservation Union (IUCN). The smallest species of bear, the sun bear, has been included on the list for the first time, while the giant panda remains endangered, despite comprehensive conservation efforts in China.
The IUCN, which has updated the status of the seven species of terrestrial bear on its Red List of Threatened Species, said despite claims that panda populations were on the rise due to a ban on logging, the creation of panda reserves and reforestation programmes, it still considered the bear to be endangered.
