            Victor the iconic polar bear has died, and scientists say his 
entire species could be extinct by the end of the century

                 Victor the polar bear was an amazing 22 years old when he 
died in late August, 2020 after living a happy life and fathering 13 cubs. 
But Victor's contribution to the vulnerable state of the polar bear 
population is far from enough. Scientists are now saying that by the end of 
this century, in less than 80 years, the polar bear could completely vanish 
from the earth due to climate change. But at the same time when one of the 
world's most iconic species is on the brink of extinction, Trump and the 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are fast tracking rollback after 
rollback of important environmental protections in order to benefit the 
fossil fuel and construction industries.

                  It's hard to even keep up, with a new rollback announced 
almost daily. By the time of Victor's death, Trump had successfully taken 
away 68 regulations, and still has his sights on eliminating 32 more. With 
these rollbacks, he is increasing the amount of permissible emissions from 
power plants and vehicles at a time when we know emissions need to shrink. 
He is also opening up vital wildlife habitat, some of which is the very 
habitat polar bears rely on, for oil and gas drilling. Do not let Victor's 
life have been in vain! Sign the petition to tell Trump and the EPA to halt 
their relentless attack on legislation that was put in place to curb climate 
change!

                  Thank you,

                         Lauren W.
