The governments of Canada, Greenland and Nunavut have signed an agreement to protect polar bears in overlapping governmental regions. This is similar to the bilateral deal signed last year between Canada and the U.S. and a separate agreement between Alaska and Russia.
These agreements all set a framework for collaboration on scientific research and monitoring of polar bear population levels.

Oh, this is cool!
By the way, I’ve seen a documentary about hungry polar bears disturbing villages in the northern part of Canada. They, indeed, need help.
Polar bear “tourism” is big in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. People will travel to that town specifically to see polar bears.
Yeah, I think it was Manitoba mentioned in that documentary. Btw, our scientists and biologists work on polar bears protection as well. In the frame of the US-Russian program.
