Arctic Fox in Danger of Extinction. By Louise Gray, London Daily Telegraph, September 14, 2010. "Arctic fox joins polar bear on new list of Arctic species in danger of extinction Polar bears are not the only species in danger from global warming, a new report has warned. The US Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) claim 16 Arctic animals are at risk from the melting ice as well as polar bear... The animals have become an icon of the environmental movement, as their numbers reduce with the melting ice caps. But they are not the only ones. A new report by a major US conservation body has warned that other animals are in danger of going extinct as well. Sea ice in the Arctic fell to its lowest level since records began in 2007 and scientists predict the area could be largely ice free in summer within 10 years. The US Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) claim 17 Arctic animals are at risk from the melting ice."
