Right here at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, a team of researchers led by CREW Director, Dr. Terri Roth, are racing against the clock to save the polar bear. Leading a team of 16 zoos across the continental United States, CREW researchers are saving polar bears with science. Through extensive hormone research, they hope to create a successful captive breeding program while extending their research to bears in the wild.
We did it! 2011 Polar Bear Challenge raises $50,374!
Thanks to your outstanding support, the 2011 Polar Bear Challenge successfully raised $50,374 to support CREW’s groundbreaking polar bear research!
We are grateful to announce that $35,000 of the final total will be graciously matched by the Shumaker Family Foundation of Lawrence, Kansas.
A great many thanks are due to those of you who generously donated to support CREW’s ongoing research to unravel the mystery of reproduction in this beloved species.
Although this year’s Polar Bear Challenge period has drawn to a close, the research still goes on. To learn more about CREW’s Polar Bear Reproduction Research Project and how you can help, please click here or contact Allison at (513)487-3327 or allison.gibbs@cincinnatizoo.org.
