…The #NorthernBeringSea, off the coast of western #Alaska, is home to migrating #MarineMammals including bowhead & beluga #whales, #walruses & ice #seals, which are hunted by many Alaska Natives. In 2016, President Obama issued an executive order that prohibited #oil & #gas exploration across >112k square miles of marine habitat in the Northern Bering Sea & called for tribal co-management of the protected area.

As a result, #SeaIce is #melting faster & more dramatically in a season. Trees & plants are growing where they haven’t in recent decades.
#Wildlife is also encountering #diseases not previously seen in their lifetimes.

Stories have surfaced of #animals fighting off new diseases, & sometimes losing that fight. The #BirdFlu infected & killed a #PolarBear & #walruses in the #Arctic for the first time.

Found elsewhere, but too wonderful not to share here.

A BBC audio series on #Arctic animals and how their histories entwine with our own, recorded by Bathsheba Demuth. Featuring episodes on #whales, #walruses, #whales , #salmon, and starting with #dogs

A perfect snowy winter fireside listen.
