Greenland To Set Quotas On Polar Bear Hunt, But Allow Tourist Hunt
Nuuk, Greenland - Greenland will introduce hunting quotas on polar bears as of January 2006 to protect the species threatened by global warming in the Arctic, but will also allow a limited tourist hunt, officials said on Thursday.
Amalie Jessen, head of the fishing and hunting agency: "Greenland's fishing and hunting authorities have long discussed the consequences of the absence of quotas for polar bears, and now deem it necessary to regulate the hunt to protect these animals"
