"I am a different kind of polar bear expert than those that study bears in the field but having a different background means I know things they do not and this makes my contribution valuable and valid."
--- Dr. Susan Crocker
I also read stuff on the internet, so I must be an expert. Apparently, reading stuff on the internet is all it takes to be a world renowned polar bear expert in Denierstan.
Meanwhile, the 2013 summary. Out of the 19 defined distinct populations, 4 are declining, 5 are stable, 1 is increasing, and 9 are data deficient.
Summary of polar bear population status per 2013
And they can add this 2014 study to the summary
Beaufort Sea polar bear population took big hit in early 2000s study says Alaska Dispatch

The polar bear population in the southern Beaufort Sea -- considered one of the populations most vulnerable to reductions in Arctic sea ice -- dropped by roughly 40 percent between 2001 and 2010, according to a new study by U.S. and Canadian scientists.
