Why? Because ice melts.
I think you're mixing climatologists and biologists here, and most biologists don't really believe in Bigfoot. As for chasing other new species: many of them are very rare and may become extinct soon, so if you don't get them now, you'll never get them. Ice melts, species get extinct, and it's both a race against time, but for different scientists.
