| Summary: | Technological man has introduced disturbances within the northern ecosystems in which the native peoples were a dynamic element, removing from the natural resources annually only what they could use. Establishment of permanent settlements in the Middle and Far North will depend on the effective management of the natural resources. The production of caribou, musk-oxen and moose as meat animals, the fur-bearers, and the North as a breeding ground for migratory birds, are discussed in terms of environment, as are pesticides and other pollutants, conservation for recreational purposes etc. |
