In 1973 the five nations within whose boundaries polar bears occur [i.e., the USSR, Canada, US, Denmark (for Greenland) and Norway] negotiated the International Agreement on Conservation of Polar Bears. The agreement, ratified in 1976, prohibited the taking of polar bears by hunters in aircraft or large motor vessels, creating a de facto sanctuary in active offshore ice habitats. The agreement required each nation to conduct a research program and coordinate management and research, with other jurisdictions, for populations that overlap international boundaries.
