虽然在北纬88°以北其较为罕见,但有证据表明,它们的活动范围甚至一直延伸到北极,向南则延伸到加拿大的詹姆斯湾由于大部分有关北极熊的研究还很少,所以很难统计出全球北极熊的数量;不过,生物学家计算,全世界大约有两万到两万五千头北极熊跟踪北极熊种群的现代方法仅在20世纪80年代中期才被采用,而且要在大范围内连续执行这项任务代价非常高昂近年来,努纳武特的一些因纽特人报告说,在人类居住区周围看到北极熊的情况有所增加,这使人们认为其数量在增加而科学家们的解释则是,有些北极熊由于饥饿可能会聚集在人类居住区周围(译者注:由于气候变暖,冰块提前融化,导致北极熊觅食困难),这就导致人们产生一种错觉,误认为北极熊的数量比其实有数量要多实际上,当前,其数量在19个公认的北极熊亚种群中,3个在下降,6个较稳定,1个在增加,9个缺乏足够的数据。
