News of the North
Environment and wildlife news from the Arctic region and beyond.
No polar bears; no bearskin rugs.
Trophy hunters planning to decorate with polar bear rugs may be out of luck, as a proposed polar bear protection act will prevent American hunters from bringing protected species into the States. Currently, it is illegal to kill polar bears for sport in Alaska, but Greenland, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories have no such limitation and have even increased their quotas despite evidence suggesting the species is in decline.
