Polar bears are disappearing fast from the Western part of Hudson Bay, on the southern tip of the Canadian Arctic, according to a new government survey.
OTTAWA, Canada – Researchers have flown over the region — which includes the town of Churchill, a tourist destination touted as the “polar bear capital of the world” — every five years to count the number of bears and extrapolate population trends.
“Comparison to aerial surveys estimates from 2011 and 2016 suggests that the WH may be decreasing in abundance,” the study said. “The observed declines are consistent with long-standing predictions regarding the demographic effects of climate change on polar bears,” the researchers said. The bears’ sea-ice habitat has been disappearing at an alarming rate, with the far north warming up to four times faster than the rest of the world.
