As a biologist, I hear a lot of disagreement between Inuit and researchers about the current population of polar bears. As part of their traditional values, they are able to hunt polar bears. Is this a sustainable practice given the current population of polar bears? How do you reconcile this with your research? Second question, how do you feel about these 1-Day tours to Churchill, MB as the obvious environmental issues involving the release of CO2 from emissions such as airplanes contribute to the decline of the sea-ice?

What is your view on Wind Turbines and their impact upon migrating and breeding raptors? Have you ever had close calls losing a bird? Would you say that each raptor has its own personality, and why that is?

Is it possible to have a team of experts curate and create a shared topical channel?

You’re talking about PFAS and the host of per-fluorinatid acids that are being produced. Essentially, these are found in waterproof clothing (DWR textile), non-stick pans, fire extinguisher and a host of other household items (even food wax paper wrappers). These don’t break down and are now found everywhere. Human health outcomes are reduced as a result. Not sure if they accumulate in lakes, but we know they’re present throughout the world - even in the Arctic regions.
