Another helped itself to Caribou behind a pickup truck. People peering out their windows found the bears wandering in their Yards. No one likes to see that says Joe Savik Ataa the conservation officer in the Nunavut Community of Arviat on the West coast of Hudson Bay which has never had a Bear season quite like this Winters. For the first time Ever Hunters in Arviat were asked not to Hunt Polar bears in a bid to help conserve what is said to be a dwindling population. Then the Community Home to about 2,200 people was invaded by bears sauntering up the coast. It was like a Highway of hungry bears says biologist Andrew Derocher of the University of Alberta who sees the close encounters in Arviat As a sign of the challenges ahead. The growing problems with the iconic Arctic predator will take Centre stage at a stakeholders meeting environment minister Jim Prentice has called for jan. 16 in Winnipeg. Hers inviting the inuit scientists wildlife management boards and government officials to discuss solutions that will help ensure a future for the Polar Bear. Thatus a tall order Given the climate change transforming the North. The Long term Outlook for the Polar Bear is pretty Bleak says Derocher. There Are now about 22,000 Polar bears in the wild 60 to 70 per cent of them in Canadas North. The most recent projections which Derocher says May be conservative Given the phenomenal Arctic ice loss seen in the last two years have the Bear population plummeting by two thirds by 2050 As the ice retreats. Many of the sub populations appear to be steady. But bears in Western Hudson Bay and Baffin Bay Are believed to be in decline and they Are the source of increasing conflict Over Hunting quotas. The More southerly Bear population in Western Hudson Bay which includes Arviat is most at risk. Surveys show the population dropped 22 per cent Between 1987 and 2004, which prompted the Nunavut government to severely restrict the Hunt. It slashed the Hunting quota for the Region to eight bears for 2008 2009, Down from 38 last year and 56 the year before. The quota is so Low that the local wildlife boards decided to save the tags for killing eight bears for emergency situations. People dont like it but thatus the Way it goes Savik Ataa says of this years eight Bear quota that was almost filled before the bears even got out on the ice this year. Six problem bears have already been killed along Western Hudson Bay four in Arviat in november. Ive never seen them quite so concentrated says Savik Ataa a Veteran conservation officer. So Many bears were roaming around town in november he was called out about 50 times Over a two week period to Chase them off with his Arsenal of exploding bullets and rubber slugs. But the bears were not easily deterred. Polar bears which dont eat much in the summer want to get Back on the ice in the fall to Hunt for seals. But the freeze up was unusually late this year says Derocher so the bears headed North along the Western Edge of Hudson Bay on a route that brought them right into Arviat. The bears go around the town so they had to go through town says Savik Ataa noting the town is on a Point the juts out into Hudson Bay. So they started sauntering right past and often right into town. Hungry bears sniffed around trucks and Sheds looking for food and startling residents. Nightly patrols tried to keep them out town. In the end no one was Hurt. But four Young bears were shot. They Are not the Only Polar bears doing strange and unexpected things says Derocher. Were seeing Little cracks in the ecology of the animal everywhere we look things that just dont look Normal. Can West news service blogs Winnipeg repress.
