Abstract
A warming Arctic threatens the long-term persistence of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) in the wild. Historically, little collaboration existed between the in situ and ex situ polar bear scientific communities. However, for the past decade, zoo professionals, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations (NGO’s) have partnered to leverage resources and expertise with the goal of addressing science needs and enhancing polar bear conservation efforts. We discuss examples where collaborative efforts have addressed polar bear research needs and highlight opportunities for future integrated in situ and ex situ research.
