Johannesburg, 26 February 2025: 27 February is International Polar Bear Day—a time to spotlight these majestic Arctic creatures and raise awareness of their vulnerable conservation status. Led by Polar Bears International (PBI), a global conservation group dedicated to protecting polar bears and their Arctic habitat, the day emphasises the urgent need for action as climate change accelerates the melting of sea ice. February is a vital month for polar bears, as mothers and cubs rest in their dens during a critical phase of their life cycle.
Polar bears are a symbol of the Arctic’s rugged yet breathtaking beauty. They thrive in one of the world’s harshest environments, showcasing resilience and adaptability. However, shrinking sea ice is rapidly reducing their hunting grounds and food access. International Polar Bear Day, championed by PBI, encourages everyone to reduce their carbon footprint, support conservation initiatives, and help secure a future for polar bears.
For collectors and wildlife enthusiasts, the 2023 Majestic Polar Bear and Cubs Gold Coin is a perfect way to honour the Arctic’s beauty. Struck by the Royal Canadian Mint, this stunning 24-karat (99.99% pure) gold coin beautifully captures the bond between a polar bear mother and her cubs—a symbol of strength, family, and resilience.

Why is the environment important to human kind? The environment is important to human kind because it provides us with the basic necessities of life such as air, water, food and shelter. It also has a direct impact on our physical and mental well-being, as it provides places for recreation and relaxation, and can help to reduce stress. Furthermore, the environment contributes to the overall quality of life, as it helps to regulate the climate, and can affect the health of our economy and communities. Finally, the environment is essential for sustaining the biodiversity of our planet, which is essential for the survival of many species, including humans.
Three examples of how the environment affects human activities?
- Climate Change: Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and overfishing are all contributing to global climate change. Climate change has been linked to a range of impacts, from more extreme weather patterns to sea level rise and disruption of food production.
- Air Pollution: Human activities such as burning fossil fuels for energy production, transportation, and industrial processes are a major source of air pollution. This air pollution can cause respiratory problems, acid rain, and crop damage.
- Water Pollution: Human activities such as dumping waste into bodies of water, agricultural runoff, and oil spills can lead to water pollution. This pollution can cause algal blooms, contamination of drinking water, and destruction of aquatic ecosystems.
