Listen to the following passage:
Today, we'll be discussing the effect of climate change on polar bears. These majestic creatures rely heavily on sea ice for hunting seals, which are their primary source of food. As global temperatures rise, the melting of sea ice becomes more severe, leading to challenges in finding food and a suitable habitat. Consequently, polar bears are facing potential extinction if current trends continue. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensure that these animals can adapt to their changing environment and survive in the wild.
