From the Ted Talk by Alysa McCall: What to do when there's a polar bear in your backyard

Unscramble the Blue Letters


This is a rising sefaty concern for hamnus who are always the number-one priority. It's also a concern for the bears because when a polar bear has a negative encounter with a human, it risks being taken out of the population in a defense kill, which is the legal killing of an animal to defend life or property.

Now here, I should also mention that in ptras of the rgane, polar bears are harvested under a quota system informed by science and Indigenous knowledge. If I don't mention it, people can think I'm hiding it, and when I do, they can be surprised that I'm not opposed. It is incredibly important that we protect the rights of iginnueods peoples to practice their taridinots. And right now that pairccte is not a significant threat to the species. Where we could see population-level impacts is through catlmie change, or if defense kills, which count toward quotas, defense kills start rising above the relatively low qoatus. That's when I wrory.

Original Text


This is a rising safety concern for humans who are always the number-one priority. It's also a concern for the bears because when a polar bear has a negative encounter with a human, it risks being taken out of the population in a defense kill, which is the legal killing of an animal to defend life or property.

Now here, I should also mention that in parts of the range, polar bears are harvested under a quota system informed by science and Indigenous knowledge. If I don't mention it, people can think I'm hiding it, and when I do, they can be surprised that I'm not opposed. It is incredibly important that we protect the rights of Indigenous peoples to practice their traditions. And right now that practice is not a significant threat to the species. Where we could see population-level impacts is through climate change, or if defense kills, which count toward quotas, defense kills start rising above the relatively low quotas. That's when I worry.
