Not So (N)ice Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Flotsom and Jetsom: It's gone. Probably swept up with the clippings when they trimmed the bushes. No need to replace since the new zoo series will be going in soon. And the bear range is slated for renewal this year and the cache site won't be available.

Geocache Description:

In the Assiniboine Park Zoo. Please be careful accessing and returning this cache to its location.

Dedicated to Debby, Winnipeg’s polar matriarch, who lived the Assiniboine Park Zoo until her passing at the record setting age of 42 years. The Canadian Arctic is home to 60% of the world’s 22,000 polar bears. The bears are wholly dependent on the arctic sea ice habitat for hunting. Climate change is sadly having a dramatic effect on this ice and has become the number one threat to the long-term survival of the polar bear. Sea ice cover has declined by approximately 9% per decade since 1978 and the melt rate seems to be increasing faster than anticipated. This loss of sea ice area and longer ice-free periods (earlier melting) restrict the time the bears can hunt each year. The bears are forced to come ashore before they have developed enough fat reserves to allow them to reproduce successfully and survive the summers when they can’t hunt.
