Polar bears - the largest predator on land is facing a grave danger and are on the verse of becoming extinct by several dangers - the dangers man has cultivated in the field, he terms as development. The increasing global warming has made the polar ice melt. Polar bears can be identified as the most beautiful specie on the earth.

Team Collaboration

Our team had to tackle several challenges before submitting the site. Each member had to be chosen very carefully. Some people were very interested but not willing to work. Manit, Akhil and Ashutosh all were very good academically. Akhil enhanced the project with beautiful graphics and multimedia while Manit continued to work on the website. Ashutosh with his superb writing style helped us to capture the epitorial lifestyle of the bears. Through a busy and tight schedule somehow the kids came together and compiled the project. Addng to the problems were the exams but still they managed to complete the project.

The teachers with their help also added to the students' knowledge.

Team Diversity

Our team does not restrict only to the efforts to its members but it includes the various efforts made by the other people to save the polar bears and LIFE on earth from extinction. A variety sources adds to the work done by the members. For the children of the tropical countries even to consider the effects of global warming taking place in an absolutely different latitude in itself was a great challenge. To handle this chalenge the boys had to contact many people ranging from Australia to Canada. Though the school was same the states were different and so the distance between their houses also became a challenge and hence can't be neglected.
