Description
Summary:Componente Curricular::Ensino Médio::Biologia Componente Curricular::Ensino Médio::Geografia Componente Curricular::Ensino Fundamental::Séries Finais::Meio Ambiente Componente Curricular::Educação Profissional::Ambiente Saúde e Segurança This video adapted from the International Institute for Sustainable Development profiles the Arctic Inuit community of Sachs Harbour and its collaboration with scientists studying climate change. Changes in the land sea and animals are readily apparent to the residents of Sachs Harbour-many of whom hunt trap and fish-because of their long-standing and intimate connection with their ecosystem. Scientists from a climate change study project interview the residents and record their observations. The scientists can use these firsthand accounts along with their own collected data to deepen their understanding of climate change in the polar region.
