Jegesmedve ölt meg egy embert Kanadában

During the last five month of 2017 polar bears have been reported in the Greenlandic village Ittoqqortoormiit 21 times to look for food. In 2007 only nine conflicts between bears and people were registered in the whole of Greenland. This shows that the climate change and melting of the polar ice has made it difficult for the bears to find food in their normal habitat making them seek closer and closer to human settlements in desperation. WWF who are behind the registration of polar bear activity state that they expect the number of bears getting close to humans in the Arctic will only rise if the ice keeps melting. The bears can possibly be dangerous to humans as a hungry bear will attack. The WWF polar bear patrol who are working to secure that bears getting close to people are scared away will have more and more work as sightings become more frequent.
