In March, scientists announced that, under a 'business-as-usual' greenhouse gas emissions scenario, the last remnant of the North American ice sheet is set to melt in about 300 years


In heartbreaking scenes, which brought the cameraman who captured them to tears, the emaciated creature can be seen scavenging for sustenance, stumbling over terrain devoid of ice.&nbspThe clip was recorded by photographer Paul Nicklen, who is part of conservation group Sea Legacy


As home to the Barnes Ice Cap, Baffin Island has been particularly hard hit by the warming climate.&nbspThe cap is around the size of Delaware or four times the size of Greater London, and is the last piece of an ice sheet that once blanketed North America


The clip was recorded by photographer Paul Nicklen, who is part of conservation group Sea Legacy who says he captured the creature's lingering agony because he didn't want its death to be in vain


It is illegal to feed wild polar bears in Canada, but even if he had been able to, he would only have been delaying the inevitable. About the moment, Mr Nicklin said: 'We stood there crying, filming with tears rolling down our cheeks'


The former biologist who has now turned his hand to wildlife photography has seen over 3,000 bears in the wild, but this particular encounter will no doubt linger in his memory


The photographer shared the haunting moment with his Instagram followers, attracting over one million views at the time of publication. The bear is likely to have died 'within hours or days of this moment', he added on the photo sharing site


By raising awareness of the death of this particular polar bear, Mr Nicklen hopes to bring home the reality of global warming for the entire species


The ice cap in the Canadian Arctic, which is around the size of Delaware or or four times the size of Greater London, is the last piece of ice sheet that once blanketed much of North America.



Polar bear numbers are expected to collapse by a third in as little as 35 years as ice melts in the Arctic, a 2016 study found. The drop in numbers will reduce the world population of the bears from around 26,000 to 17,000


Disturbing footage of a starving wild polar bear scouring a desolate landscape for food has taken the internet by storm.&nbspRummaging in a rubbish bin for a life-saving morsel he comes up empty, before slumping to the ground waiting for death


Although the ice cap is still 500 meters (1,600 feet) thick, it's melting at a rapid pace driven by increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that have elevated Arctic temperatures


The footage was taken on Baffin Island, in the northern Canadian territory of Nunavut. It is the largest island in Canada and the fifth largest island in the world, but has been heavily effected by the ravages of global warming and dwindling ice

This is not the first time that starving polar bears have made the headlines.&nbspIn September 2015, nature photographer Kerstin Langenberger captured on camera an emaciated female polar bear dragging an injured leg


RAISING AWARENESS 

The wildlife photographer says he captured the creature's lingering agony because he didn't want its death to be in vain.

By raising awareness of the death of this particular polar bear, Mr Nicklen hopes to bring home the reality of global warming for the entire species. 

Writing on Instagram, he added: 'When scientists say polar bears will be extinct in the next 100 years, I think of the global population of 25,000 bears dying in this manner.

'There is no band aid solution. There was no saving this individual bear.
