Åge Hammeken Danielsen
James Morgan
Åge Hammeken Danielsen, a commercial hunter from Ittoqqortoormiit, drives his sled dogs through Walrus Bay. Åge's village has a quota of 35 polar bears to kill each year. He says the quota is too low and that there are too many polar bears coming into his village. East Greenland. Climate change is the single biggest threat to polar bears. As the sea ice around Ittoqqortoormiit diminishes, polar bears are spending longer on land and coming into town. In recent years, there has been a worrying increase in human-polar bear conflicts throughout East Greenland.
