It took Graeme about two years to produce the book for which he spoke to experts around the world, such as Farwiza Farhan (Indonesia), Kristine Tompkins (Tompkins Conservation), and Daniel Sopia (Maasai Mara Wildlife Conservancies Association). “I also spent a lot of time working with the people who contributed essays to each chapter of the book — Jane Goodall, Tara Stoinski (Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund), and Krista Wright (Polar Bears International).”

Resting harbour seals alongside nesting seabird colonies are drawing the hungry carnivores closer, said Joanna Sulich, a biologist with the Norwegian Polar Institute and Polar Bears International.

"For many researchers who are studying those birds, it's something of concern," Sulich said.

“Sea ice is to the Arctic ecosystem what soil is for the forest,” says Flavio Lehner, a climate scientist at Cornell University and Polar Bears International.

“Rapid changes like these will affect all sea ice-dependent fauna and flora, from tiny under-ice algae to top predators like polar bears.”

The climate crisis poses the “single most important threat” to the survival of polar bears, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List. The burning of fossil fuels and clearing of forests is warming the Arctic almost four times faster than the global average, melting the sea ice that provides polar bears with hunting space, breeding grounds and habitat and helps keep the rest of us cool.

With Nanuk Operations, we gathered for Indigenous storytelling in a yurt and showshoed while hoping the northern lights would make an appearance.

Alysa McCall, a biologist from Polar Bears International, a research and advocacy group based in Churchill, says: “Polar bears have become the poster-child of the environmental movement for good reason – the land they inhabit is literally melting beneath their feet.”

Polar-bear attacks on humans are rare: according to Polar Bears International, between 1870 and 2014 there were 73 confirmed polar-bear attacks on people. That’s a low number, but attacks seem to be increasing in frequency, according to research performed by Polar Bears International. Scientists believe it might be the result of climate change and melting sea ice, forcing bears beyond their typical territory in search of food.
