It's pretty great to see that Russia is getting their act together on the polar bear. We'll see what it actually means, obviously, but it's a good start the President Putin is talking to the Russian Geographical Society about the issue. 

Evidently, he was quoted as saying: 

The number of polar bears continues to decrease. They are on the verge of extinction. Of course, we should prevent this. A polar bear should be preserved in zoological gardens and wildlife.

Again, we'll see where this leads, but we're excited to see the issue crossing national borders.
