This is a huge tragedy because this bear is genetically unique. One out of 10 of the black bears turn white. They are not albino. The bears are being threatened by logging as well as trophy hunting.

Earth Day was founded in 1969 by a peace activist named John McConnell. Since the United Nations adopted Earth Day, countries everywhere celebrate the day with outside activities that are designed to engage youth and adults to get out and get involved in conservation and earth environmental projects. We hope to encourage youth and others to get involved with outside activities and to help conserve and protect our planet.
