Built for life on ice, polar bears are powerful, curious, and deeply vulnerable to a warming world.
Through a partnership with Polar Bears International, the WildLife Foundation supports programs that: Track how moms and cubs are adapting Educate Arctic communities Driving global action on climate threats
Every sign-up helps fuel research and outreach that gives polar bears a fighting chance.
Track your progress
Track all your kilometres in the mobile iOS or Android app. Log them manually or sync your favorite fitness tracker or smartwatch. Any activity counts! Yes, even things like yoga and weightlifting.
The in-app converter automatically turns activities into progress on your map.
*Currently, we support: Apple Watch & Health, Google Fit, Garmin, Fitbit, Adidas Running, Strava, Runkeeper, Map My Run, Map My Ride, and Map My Walk.
Help the environment
We will donate toward planting a tree or stopping 10 bottles from entering the ocean for every 20% of the challenge you complete.
There's no extra work or cost for you — just make sure you keep exercising!
By the end of the challenge, you will have planted 5 trees or have stopped 50 bottles from entering the ocean. Imagine what we can achieve as a community!
So far, we have planted over 7 million trees and stopped the equivalent of 14 million plastic bottles from reaching the ocean.
