A Canadian conservation helicopter collects a bear from the holding facility (‘bear jail’). The bear will be taken far away from the town and released back into the wild. This human/bear conflict has been created by environmental changes.
Series Name: Nowhere To Go
Series Description: Polar bears rely heavily on sea ice for hunting, mating and resting, but face significant challenges due to rising Arctic temperatures. Every November they gather near Churchill, Canada, to wait for Hudson Bay to freeze, so they can venture onto the ice for winter. However, the warming sea has disrupted this routine. In recent years, the ice in Hudson Bay has not solidified until early December, leaving the bears stranded on the land for several weeks with no food source. Driven by hunger, these bears sometimes venture into towns, endangering their residents.
