Godfather of polar bear science

In 1948, only 148 polar bears were killed in Canada. By 1960, that number rose to 509. By 1967, more than 700 bears were killed. The trend, which was worldwide, was exacerbated when sports hunters and trappers stepped into the game with aircraft and preset guns to take their prey.

By the middle of the 1960s, scientists such as Richard Harington, formerly with the Canadian Wildlife Service, estimated there might be 10,000 or so bears left in the world. It was a best guess more than anything. But if he was close, it meant that there were less than half the number of polar bears back then than there is today.
