The community of Fort Severn First Nation is conducting a survey of the polar bear, its migration and habitat in their traditional territory. Local guides, youth and Elders are working with researchers to collect, analyse and share local cultural and traditional knowledge in order to better understand how the species is being affected by climate change. This project is funded in part by the Climate Change and Health Adaptation in Northern First Nations and Inuit Communities Program- 2010-2011.
