Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

February 27 is observed annually as International Polar Bear Day to highlight the urgent need for polar bear conservation and climate action. The date coincides with the critical denning period when polar bear mothers and their newborn cubs remain sheltered in snow dens, making them highly vulnerable. Organised by Polar Bears International, the day focuses on raising awareness about climate change, shrinking Arctic sea ice, and habitat loss. It promotes research, education, and policy advocacy aimed at protecting polar bear populations and ensuring the survival of future generations in the rapidly warming Arctic region.
