A meeting of the five polar bear range states closed on Friday in Moscow but not before government delegates ousted journalists and representatives of green NGOs. About 20 people were barred from the meeting.
Despite the fact that the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) apparently provided a significant portion of the funding for the recently concluded International Forum on Conservation of Polar Bears (December 3-6, Moscow), it appears in the end they and their NGO cohorts were prevented from having an undue amount of influence at the meeting. For that we can thank the delegates of the five Arctic nations: three cheers for common sense!
