Science based Conservation

You have found a "Wrecksite". Here and there, "shipwrecks" will manifest themselves. They gesture to the apparatuses that produce conditions under which some phenomena can exists within polar bear monitoring, my research and this knowledge-land-scape- and others cannot. Different shipwrecks gesture to different possibilities and futurities.

In this shipwreck you find the International Polar Bear conservation Agreement. It states that polar bear management should be conducted ‘in accordance with sound conservation practices based on the best available scientific data available’

The Gjoa Haven HTA complains of not being heard, around the impacts of the moratorium. You suspect that , may not have played a meaningful role Maybe you can find out something more about the process of how their knowledge on polar bears was included in the decision making processes around the McClintock Channel PBMU moratorium of 2001. and also about Gjoa Haven's interest in why they want to have their experiences recorded?

"Return to Cut 1" and call the Gjoa Haven HTA to gain some more information and see what the board expects from an academic article around their experiences.
