AUTHOR'S NOTE

I woke up the morning of November 13,
2010 with this idea in my head and wrote a
poem about Renu. The idea was; They have
the Will to Live, they are Lucky to be alive,
so lets help Renew the Species, hence the
names of the polar bears in the poem.
If we could build a floating raft out of light
weight recycled plastic to look like an ice
break it may save a polar bears life. They
die of exhaustion trying to swim to a solid
surface and there are many documented
photos of them swimming in the middle of
the ocean as the bears are tagged.

We could put a cave on the raft for
protection from the elements and a stinky
fish head bait bag to attract them to the
raft. Once they eat the fish there will be
a seal skin cover underneath, and when
they chew through that, they access a fresh
water holding tank in the bottom of the raft
to drink from.
If we are seeing aerial views of these bears
swimming, then there must be planes or
helicopters taking the pictures. A helicopter
could drop one of these rafts near the
swimming bear and hopefully he would
swim to it.

While doing some research on the subject I
found there is quite a following on https://
getsatisfaction.com/WWF/topics/polar_
bears_and_artificial_islands where World
Wildlife Fund staff answer questions about
the Polar Bear situation.

With the proceeds of the sale of this book
I am hoping to open a Polar Bear Rescue
Centre in northern Canada to dispatch
these rafts and find ways to ensure that
polar bears continue to live and hopefully
thrive. This centre will create jobs,
awareness and education for generations to
come.
