加拿大丘吉爾位於北極熊的遷徙路線上,所以被稱為世界北極熊之都。 然而,由於氣候變化,冰雪在春季提前融化,導致數百隻北極熊在城鎮裡及周圍出沒。到目前為止,今年保護官員已接到 78 個求助電話,協助將北極熊帶出城鎮,但去年只有少於20 個的求助電話。
Churchill in Canada is known as the polar bear capital of the world because it locates in the middle of a natural polar bear corridor. However, the ice melt early in the spring because of climate change, so hundreds of bears are around or even inside the town area. So far, conservation officers has received 78 calls this year for help to move bears away from town, but last year were fewer than 20 calls.
